| Protien bars - Click HERE for Original Thread |

Since school is upon alot of us, I figure eating every 2 hrs is gonna be difficult being in class! So possibly taking a protein bar to replace a meal in and between classes, would work out much better than bringing a big juicy steak into class and eating it (while taking notes) lol.
whats a good bar to take with you for those times? Or, are they all the same and it doesnt matter?
Thanks in adv. |

There are some new ones out called Detour, U-turn and there is one more (cant remember the name). They taste just like candy bars and have 30g of protein in them. They are the best tasting and easiest to eat (anyone who has ever ate a protein bar will know what I mean) that I have seen, and I have tried a tone of bars. The only drawback of these ones is they have more calories in them then regular bars cause of the sugar they put into them to make them taste good. But I dont really care about that as long as they are good.
As for the difference between them, usually the differences are amount of protein in them, how many calories are in them and what kind of protein they use (egg, whey etc.) and of course taste. They all work, they add protein to your diet for the exact reason you stated, cant eat all the time. |

well, thanks for the info......I just went out tonight to buy a box of the Nitro-Tech protein bars...(smores flavour)? Damn they're expensive! .....how much were the bars u were talking about, Flex?
....Ive been eating really well and getting all my protein for the past 3 weeks or so except for last week when my gf came over and well, I didnt get enough protein everyday and started eating awful (i.e baskin robins, and lotsa desert stuff, fries, etc).....I also lost like 4 lbs! (fast metabolism :P) .....anyways, im starting to eat every two hrs again......
Does anyone have any experience with the Nitro tech bars? good/bad?
Thanks! |

The bars I was talking about ar around $4.50 a bar but you can get them cheaper if you buy a box of them.
I have tried the nitro-tech bars, they are ok but leave a real good protein aftertaste in your mouth and they get kinda dry towards the end so I recommend having a big glass of milk handy....... :D |

Yes, they are AWSOME !!! I used to eat one just before every football game and it kept me full, gave me shitloads of energy, and I didn't get cramps from them either. Mind you, I'm playing all game, the only rest I get is at half time. I played about 5 different positions, 3 on offense and 2 on defense. So if I can last a whole game of pure hard work like that, then you could last too.
As to tasting good....They taste terrible. But I plug my nose when I eat them and I think to myself "They may taste like shit, but they give you loads of energy". |

| I wonder if they still have them on sale? ....I need to go buy another box today...i finished my Nitro-Tech bars already |

Costco has the have size ones for $25 a box of 15
I found out from my buddy that owns Hardcore Gym that the reason the bars were on sale was the company screwed up on the labels and they were just trying to get rid of them to print some more proper labels....once there all gone the sale is gone. |
|
|
| s2oooR |
so the half size ones must have just half the protein in it then i assume?
I just bought some though at GNC $46 for 12 :bigthumbup: |
|
|
| Flex |
| ya thats correct...half the protein and they are smaller as well. |
|
|
| s2oooR |
ah, i still think i got the better deal with the full bars...
mind you, i dont always finish it at one time so..... |
|
|
| Flex |
| Thats why I like the half bars sometimes.........but like Joey said on friends "Whats next for me, eating half a protein bar and putting the rest in the fridge....no way Im eating the whole turkey" |
|
|
| s2oooR |
I take my statement back about not being able to eat it all at one time....
these new detour, Uturn bars are fricken awesome! I can down those things like a normal chocolate bar! The detour tastes just like an oh henry bar, IMO....i cant even tell the difference, really!
...at this rate, i'll be finished this box in no time! So good! :beer:
I may just get the half pack at costco ( saw it there yesterday) if i cant find the full size boxes anywehre.....apparently they run out of them quick! Im not surprised though...they're really that good. |
