You have to be careful with protein bars, depending on what your are using them for;
1. If you are using them as a meal replacement then that's fine as most of them, including Power Bars, have a pretty high content of carbs and a decent amount of calories. For this purpose I choose "Premier Protein: bars. They have;
244 cals
30 grms protein
8 grms fat
21 grms of carbs
2. If you are using them as a high protein snack then you need something that has a decent amount of protein and low in everything else. For this I use "Kinetix". They have a lower protein content but they are considerable lower in calories. They have;
150 cals
15 grms protein
4 grms fat
18 grms of carbs
I also use a protein power immediately after weight training. This by far the best to build muscle but is less convenient than bars. I use "Prostar Whey Protein" which has;
114 cals
23 grms protein
1.5 grms fat
2 grms of carbs
