How to Find the Best Protein Bar for Fat Loss & Building Muscle

[@jamesj66]

ONE bar Maple favorite is the best tasting,best macros and ingredients I've found.

No Quest bars?

[@blixcards]

Quest bars were (maybe?) halfway acceptable for years but now, with no warning, they have Soy and Bioengineered Food Product in them. I read my dog's food label today and it didn't even have bioengineered food product. They're bad. They are claiming "supply chain issues" have driven them to stop caring about your health and put Soy and Bios in. Money, money money is all that matters. Probably were absorbed into an umbrella company in reality.

[@StevieMac1776]

The original company creators sold out. Since then the buyers have been slipping in less than healthy ingredients.

Macadamia bars are great! Got 3 boxes! Thanks Thomas!

[@LBOIowa]

I love bars that don't mimic a dessert! Super tired of sweet stuff with protein added

[@littlevoice_11]

Best video! Thank you. Hooe you do another in this series tasting your blood sugar response to some of these 😊

Valuable content. Thank you, Thomas!

[@lyndallwakeman8454]

Can you do a video on just low carb or do you just do Keto? I have been eating high protein and low carb for 13 weeks and have lost 9.1 kilos. Would love some more ideas. Thanks Thomas. Loving your videos ❤

[@oldskoolordie]

I try to avoid them but I found the least processed and natural were better for me. They’re usually more expensive though. I’m in the UK and would say Bulk are the best. Grenade were expensive and bad for digestion. My protein not too bad.

[@josephross7936]

What's you opinion on Quest & Cliff bars?

Great video - thanks, Thomas. I check out protein bars constantly, in every store i go into. The one thing I've noticed is that most companies are still using BAD oils. I keep hoping these companies will get the message!!!

I’ve been wanting to try a House of Macadamias product, but I wasn’t quite ready to place an order online. It’s nice to know they are now at Sprouts 🌱. I will see if the Sprouts near my house has them available. Thanks 😊

[@rawx485]

Good to know they at Sprouts. Thx

[@carminetruppajr1970]

Thank you Thomas for all your hard work and information. I have followed you for about 18 months when I decided to work on my health and eating lifestyle change, lost 30 lbs on average and 4 1/2 inches on my waist. It can get confusing and overwhelming with all the ingredients. You nail it every time. I am now a regular customer of HOM directly from their website as I don't have a Sprouts near me. But you have given me other options in a pinch some are sold at my Walmart which is less than a mile from me. Thank you again

[@ianhenderson3078]

I know that the "love good fats" company has a "love good protein" bar out now too. I'd love to see your take on that one!

[@nellielee2915]

Thanks for sharing, I will try one or two ❤

[@walkingwithmellow5955]

This was an amazing informational video! Thank you!

[@espy0008]

Stay away from soy, corn based ingredients, and synthetic sweeteners. That’s why I don’t touch most of these protein bars.

[@blixcards]

Amen. Now you also have to watch out for the bioengineered food products. They are killing anyone not paying attention slowly. And we don't get the memo when the ingredients change at a 3AM Umbrella corporation takeover meeting. We have to re-check even our lifetime trusted brands - every time we shop.

[@lilmanq7746]

Why

[@espy0008]

@@lilmanq7746 you should research it yourself. Corn sweeteners spike your blood sugar more than cane sugar, it is GM, and contains round up. Synthetic sweeteners are just bad all around by how they are created to what they do to our micro biome, and soy based products contain phytoestrogens and cause numerous problems with our health.

[@blixcards]

@@lilmanq7746 Soy causes Gynecomastia, which is "man boobs". Soy, however, confuses the hormones of every human on Earth of every age. It's poison, but doesn't kill you. All air fresheners, lavender and essential oils do the same.

[@flax4343]

Thomas, I've enjoyed many of your videos. However, this one was frustrating because you passed over what I think is a superior bar to virtually all you mentioned. Nugo SLIM protein bars. You said you like chocolate mint, it was right on the shelf. I eat their bars regularly. Profile: 17g protein, 3g sugar, 170 calories, 6g fat (3 saturated), 18g carbs, 6g fiber. Ingredients: Protein Blend [Soy Crisp (Soy Protein, Alkalized Cocoa, Tapioca, Salt), Soy Protein, Rice Protein]... and NO palm oil. I'm curious, what do YOU think???

[@barbarabeck1174]

Soy.

[@carlieholt2826]

I noticed that quest did not make the cut. Could you tell me the ingredients in quest that you do not like

[@JerryCorreia76]

What about NoCow Bars with 20g plant protein and 3 Net Carbs?! Can't miss that one which is available at Sprouts.

[@andylovesconcerts]

Just got turned on to these. The dipped bars are insane. Great profile too.

[@plontkegurl9529]

very helpful, thank you !

[@scottelkin562]

FYI men. No soy, flax, or mint. Maltodextrin is powdered corn sugar. 1 gram of protein is 4 calories. Protein bars are not a great option, however, better than a Snickers.

[@CogMarks]

Stevia tastes absolutely awful to me. It seems like all the bars are changing to stevia. 🤮 As a teacher, bars are very convenient to sneak in between classes. Think and the non-stevia Quest bars are my favorites for balance of protein, flavor, and price. Price matters. Some of the bars are really expensive, not teacher priced.

[@jerz8289]

Finally you reviewed the IQBar. This is my go-to bar for meal replacements. In addition with what Thomas said, these bars also have a high availability and relatively low price... sold at almost every store including Target, Walmart, Kroger. They taste awesome, especially when eaten with Catalina Crunch cereal. The Atlas bar changed since when they first debuted over two years ago. Although they have increased the protein, the flavor took a turn for the worst on a few of their bars. I think the best tasting will be the peanut butter chocolate chip and the Peanut Butter & Raspberry. Sadly, the ingredient change greatly impacted the Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate sea salt flavors, as their taste took a turn for the worst. On top of all that, they are quite expensive. My workout bar, especially for strength training, will be MRE- it isn't low carb, but the first ingredients are beef, chicken, salmon, and eggs

[@ToonTramp]

Thomas, I’m confused about your review of the Laird Bar. You say it has a good protein to calorie profile, but you end by saying you wouldn’t necessarily eat it due to its fairly high calories for the amount of protein that you’re getting.

[@LRenee86]

Why do you put quest in the thumbnail and not cover it?

[@jeffashburn9043]

Well this went from a good update on protein bars to a commercial for his sponsor. I’ve followed Thomas for years but getting the “sell out” feel these days

Thomas, I heard you say in a video sometime ago “erythritol is toxic for your gut” and I’ve always avoided it since. But then lately I hear you say “it’s fantastic” and you say products with malitol and erythritol are fine. I’m confused

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

I’ve never said maltitol is fine, even in this video I was clear that it’ll send you to the toilet. And I’ve also never said erythritol is toxic for the gut. Send me the exact video where I say that, please. Perhaps you’re getting me confused with someone else. I even did a full campaign on erythritol being safe when all the crap came out about it last year.

[@AtomicSquid_]

@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠Well in the video you said “Now, maltitol is not like, this dangerous thing. It’s not a bad, unclean ingredient” and that it can be consumed and be satiating, it just might bloat you. I always thought it was to be avoided just like artificial sweeteners, and same with erythritol and all sugar alcohols. I’m 99% sure it was a video I watched from you where you said “it’s toxic for your gut” a few years ago, and I avoided it ever since. It’s possible it was Dr Eric Berg but I could’ve swore it was one of yours, I’d have to go back and see if I can find it.

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

It’s not toxic. It’s just a sugar alcohol. But it will jack up your gut. And definitely didn’t say that on erythritol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_Gn2OlYrSbd7csi=PUnJKa6NFmq0Afav
