cookie dough for life when I can afford it and fuck you GNC for raising the prices, thankfully vitamin shoppe holding down the price to the average.
 
When will other companys compete with quest so that we can get cheaper prices on low carb protein bars!

I love chocolate chip cookie dough the best. SO GOOD.

These are really good, just wish more places would carry them locally other than GNC so I could pick one up in a pinch instead of ordering a bunch from Amazon.

They are all over the place now in Phoenix so I'm happy.

GNC
Vitamin Shoppe
Hi-Health
One Stop Nutrition
Max Muscle

I remember when no stores carried them I had a subscription to have them auto delivered to me.

Yup. I just got turned on to these bars by my cousin. Started using them while fasting in Ramadan to break my fasts and to supplement meals since there isn't much time.

I bought the sampler box and it came right in the middle of the heat wave all melted and disgusting. I put them in the fridge to reform them somewhat but they look like mutants.

Taste wise? I bought the sampler so can't say I tried all the flavors yet but they are just ok. Luckily for me I don't need them to be heavy in sugar or taste amazing to eat. Perfect mix of carbs, fiber, and good protein for whenever I can't have a meal properly.

They also have two lines. Original and All Natural. I went with All Natural since that uses stevia to sweeten. I think original uses sucralose.

EDIT: MICROWAVE THEM? HMMM that could change everything!
 
Life Lift looks like it has a decent nutritional makeup. Someone who knows more may want to weigh in on it.
 
I just got turned on to Quest bars and while I haven't had any yet, I'll be buying some in the near future. That's just too much Fiber to turn down man. Incredible.
 
Repping dat Apple Pie. It even has the random apple seed embedded in the "dough". Delicious as fuark, bros.


Edit: All natural is the only way to go. The others are way too sweet, overpoweringly so.
 
Man, what's with all of the Chocolate PB hate? I'll eat those for dessert when they're warmed up (in a blind taste test before I'd tried one, I probably would've assumed it was some sort of Reese's PB cup-related dessert). So damn good and by far my favorite.

1. Chocolate PB
2. Banana Nut
3. Cinnamon Roll

Haven't had a chance to try Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough yet, but I don't even like regular cookie dough flavored things so I'm not sure I'd like it.

Also I've never seen this All-Natural vs Original stuff. Am I missing it on the packaging somewhere?
 
Just got back from GNC, picked up 12 bars $13

picked up some PB and jelly for my first time, but most of them were Apple Pie

I try not to criticize others opinions but I'm going to make an exception for this post ender. That list is absolutely horrendous and I'm having a difficult time believing it is genuine.
 
I thought this thread was about a pub that featured ARGs every night or something.

I want to go to that bar I just made up :(

We already have this thread. Its called the GAF Fitness thread.

Haha. Hopefully this thread diverts some portion of those posts out of the fitness thread. Of course people should be free to talk about what they want to talk about but it can get a little annoying siftng through half a page of posts about coupons trying to see if someone has posted an interesting article or if someone is requesting advice.

Really? I mean I've obviously seen that people don't like Chocolate PB. Fine (I don't understand why people like Chocolate Brownie and PB Supreme, or the Quest PB Cups though, in that case). I've seen plenty of people digging Cinnamon Roll though, and a handful of FitGAF has mentioned Banana Nut in the past. I heat all of mine up, so I can't comment on how they taste at room temp, maybe that makes a difference?

Apple Pie, Chocolate Brownie, PB Supreme are all "fine" for me, I just like the 3 I listed better. Really disliked PB&J, Strawberry Cheesecake, the Lemon Cream Pie (or w/e) and the Mixed Berry.

edit: just noticed my 3 faves use Stevia vs a lot of the others I like less using Sucralose. I wonder if that's a factor

I was half serious. Just a long drawn out way to say people can have polar opposite views on the same subject. :)
 
You people are insane. I almost chipped a tooth the first time I bit into a Quest Bar. I hate these things.

I've pretty much settled on peanut butter Clif Builder's Bars

Awesome, gonna have to give that a whirl.




Only 11 g of protein, at that point why even bother with a dedicated protein bar?

From the description it sounds more like a...meat bar with cranberries in it? I'm already eating a pound + of meat a day. I don't need it in bar form too.
 
I always have these on hand, and I usually have one as an afternoon snack.

Best flavors (although they're all pretty good):

Apple Pie
Cinnamon Roll (although these vary wildly in texture from soft to hard as a rock)
Strawberry Cheesecake
Coconut Cashew
 
So Epic bars, besides the absolutely wahjah shameful name, are meat and berry bars? Berries?
 
Seems like all the bars I'm finding for sale on Amazon have artificial sweetner in them despite claims in the original post that there aren't any. Am and I missing something? I guess for something that's sugar-free it has to have something in it to give it some taste.
