teamfatboy Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I like EAS Zoneperfect (from New World) and BALANCE Technology MASS Promax Banana Crunch (from Heath 2000). The Zoneperfect ones are quite good, different flavours, not just chocolate/ caramel/ cookies-n-cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keats Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Try the HPLC bar, it tastes like wood, dries your mouth out then takes about 40 mins to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamer Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Horley's Carb Less Banana Caramel. Tastes like something that should be really bad for you!! There is also a EAS (Myoplex, I think) Cookies n Cream, Apple & Cinnamon, Double Chocolate and something or other cream pie? The EAS are too high in carbs though! Gee, from that you'd think I'm a real protein bar fan??!! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Horley's Carb Less Banana Caramel. Tastes like something that should be really bad for you!! There is also a EAS (Myoplex, I think) Cookies n Cream, Apple & Cinnamon, Double Chocolate and something or other cream pie? The EAS are too high in carbs though! The EAS Myoplex Carb Control Bars have pretty much the same amount of carbs as the Horleys Carb less and 6g more protein:EAS Myoplex Carb Control Cookies and Cream - Total Carbs.......26g - 2g Sugar, - 4g Fibre, - 18g Sugar Alcohol & Modified Carbs [Maltitol, Glycerine]Protein.............25gFat....................8gCalories...........260Horleys Carb Less Banana - Carbs Listed on Label...4.5g (4.1g Sugar)Actual Total Carbs.....24.8 g - 4.1g Sugar, - 6.8g Fibre (of which 6.5g is Polydextrose), - 13.5g Sugar Alcohol & Modified Carbs [Maltitol, Glycerine]Protein...........18.4gFat..................3.4gCalories............183Horleys just make there bar look low carb by not including sugar alcohols, modified carbs and fibre with the carbohydrate total on their label. These are all technically carbohydrates, and while some Sugar alcohols, Mannitol and Erythritol, may have little to no effect on elevating blood sugar, Maltitol has a reasonable GI of 37 (and can be as high as 53 depending on the type of Maltitol used) and they still contain calories at 2.7 cals per gram. Unless you're on a low carb diet and in a carb depleted state they will still be utilised in much the same way as normal carbohydrates.Glycerine or glycerol, more commonly found in soaps and moisturisers, has very little effect on blood sugar yet it still a carbohydrate.You can do a similar thing with the Balance Protein Max bars:Carbs Listed on label....15.9gActual Total Carbs.....38.5g - 9.9g Sugar, - 22.6g Fibre (of which 21.8g is Polydextrose), - ?g Modified Carbs [Glycerine] Amount not listed but in ingredients listProtein...........33.6gFat..................5.9gCalories............267 - if you wonder why you get digestive issues with the Protein Max it's because of the 22 grams of fibre - mostly from Polydextrose. To put that into context: you would need to eat 16 (SIXTEEN) Weetbix Biscuits to get the same amount of fibre as one Protein Max bar.Polydextrose is partially derived from glucose, but has been altered so the body does not metabolize it. This is good for low carb diets and it is also low calorie at 1 calorie per gram, and has no effect on glycemic index. However due to it being a dietary fibre you just have to make sure you don't eat too much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterTel Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I just ate an Aussie Bodies Protein Delite double choc flavour and its fucking disgusting!!!EXACTLY!! I know several people who have tried them and, like me, think they are AWEFUL! I guess someone likes them or they wouldn't be selling them. :? One bar that I buy regularly which is really nice with a coffee is another of the HPLC bars - the Caramel Rough variety. It's high in protein and not being covered in chocolate at least doesn't make me feel like I'm "cheating"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheta Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I used to eat HPLC Choc Crunch, and also PVL Whey 2 Good; peanut butter.they were both pretty good, espesh the PVL, but they'd both give me the munchies - and cravings for crappy food.I stay off them now - better to eat something a lot cleaner, ulness in an emergency.Shetahttp://www.evolveyourself.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 So what protein bar has the lowest total carb/sugar amount that is on the market? That would be useful to know.ie when you cut through all the subtle rewording on the label of the sugars and various forms that lie within the bar. Is it the HPLC one? My one says:Carb total: 9.5gSugars: 8.2 (is that wihtin the above or in addition to it?)Fibre: 14.4 (I assume nothing there counts as a sugar/carb?)Glycerine: 9.0 (I assume that is counted as a carb of sorts?...)Ignor the amount per 100grams etc - as in a practicable sense - I guess like a lot of people I just eat the whole bar (irrespective of size).So whoever the experts are in decifering these things ....your comments would be welcome.
