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

[@LaraOlsonUSA]

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

[@jamesj66]

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

[@garycobe3472]

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

[@chrishabgood8900]

almonds have oxalates so, take your pick.

[@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.

[@beckyraskin8928]

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!!!

[@christopherd7922]

Are there any that you have found and would recommend? Ty

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 ❤

[@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!

[@josephross7936]

What's you opinion on Quest & Cliff bars?

[@blixcards]

Quest bars were 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.

[@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.

[@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

[@BrodyYYC]

After 2 years of keto I'm done with all that packaged crap. Whole foods or nothing at this point.

[@deadlyalliance8281]

Is there a protein bar out there that's sweetened with Allulose?, has whey isolate or hydrolyzed whey isolate, and doesn't have sugar alcohols or dates. So, low carb, high protein, medium calorie. That's TODAY'S perfect protein bar.

[@TheOutCrowd143]

What does everyone think about special K bars and the MetRX bars

[@chrisnguyen1983]

I wish there were more dairy free option with decent protein content. Too busy at work sometimes.

[@cindyharada3477]

Thank you. I'm looking for a simple, clean protein bar. Just bought IQ and RX bars. After I finish them , I'll look for the Atlas & House of Macadamia.

[@danielmoore62]

Lara bars are delicious but I don’t eat them anymore because they’re too high in calories.

I like atlas so far. I've like larabar. Waiting on my order of iqbar banana nut just sounds good.

[@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.

[@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.

[@katherinedickerson2408]

I am obsessed with Pure Protein chocolate deluxe. 180 calories and 21 grams protein. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I keep them in the fridge and they taste so good cold. I literally crave them.

[@plontkegurl9529]

thoughts on the built puff bar?

[@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.

[@bobrip6827]

Protein Bars are simply another form of Ultra Processed Foods. How many ingredients are in these bars that you find in a store. All of the sugar, starches, seed oils, low quality protein. You say to stay away from ultra processed foods then you have an episode on Proten Bars

[@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.

[@KCurtis-DPT]

Atlas bars are the best!

[@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

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.
