I've been lifting weights lately and I'm trying to increase my protein.. can anyone tell me if protein bars are a good source or will they just put the pounds on.. I need something simple and easy when I'm at work.
Have u noticed that all of those bars seemingly HAVE to be flavored like a candy bar? Or else I think no one will eat them. I know what you need to do Rach...EAT MEAT...muahahahahaha!Originally posted by RachBigMouth
I had one of those designer protein bars today... it was pretty good but I still feel like i'm eating a candy bar.. so I need to be reminded that they are good for me.
Yeah...but you could bring a big bag of beef jerky!!!Originally posted by RachBigMouth
hehehe... even if I ate meat.. I would't be bringing steaks to the office
Did somebody say BEEF JERKY!?!?!?!? I loooove beef jerky!!!Originally posted by LeatherFace

One day I have mistaken my spare tube for a Powerbar protein + and did not notice a difference in taste and texture!Originally posted by spokedwheel
I actually like the Powerbar Protein bar in the cookies n cream flavor. But then again I also like choclate powerbars. I think they have like 24 g of protein. I chomp one down after my morning rides when I'm on my way to work. I think they help w/ my recovery. Could just be in my mind though.
Yeah, for all of you monkeys that don't know, aspertame is REALLY bad. They have discovered that when it reaches room temperature, it chemically changes into formaldyhide, or something damn near close to it. I drink like 6 Diet Cokes a day, so when my time comes, I don't think the funeral home will even have to bother with using embalming fluid...Originally posted by Acadian
whadda talking 'bout MMike??
I am a big fan of the protein bar. I also eat a lot of tuna. However, it's much easier to keep protein bars in your gym bag and work desk than it is to keep tuna. And who says you can't add mustard to a protein bar??Originally posted by JOJO
In my opinion the low carb bars are kinda icky... the only one i can stomach is the Myoplex Lemon Meringue (or something like that.) I think a can of Tuna would beat a bar any day...yu can add mustard... salt/pepper.... smelly but tons of protein!
I am really not into the bar thing though so I guess my opinion doesnt really count
True that just might add the right touch of zest!Originally posted by I Are Baboon

Me too. I drank a lemon diet Pepsi today. The ingredients list aspartame. Does that mean I'm going to die?Originally posted by Acadian
I don't really pay attention to aspartame
The canned tastes better to me.Originally posted by Acadian
is it that you don't like Tuna in general or is it just the Pouch?? What I'm trying to figure out is...is the pouch tuna bad compared to the canned one?
Next thing you know, tuna will HAVE a pouch...ick!!!Originally posted by JOJO
