I bought some today & they're bloody awful. Someone needs to invent decent tasting ones. Anyone got any recommendations for ones that don't taste like arse?
 
Because they're full of vitamins and nutrients, instead of sugary chocolatey goodness like regular chocolate bars :p
 
They taste like crap because they are crap. If you want protein, eat protein without all the chemicals and stabilizers and empty calories. I have been advising everyone to pitch the protein bars for the last year while I've been losing weight.

For breakfast, I have a boiled egg on an english muffin with a slice or two of tomato.

For Lunch...salad with a few slices of lean meat or tuna.

For dinner, salad or vegetables 50% of my plate; lean meat 30% of the plate and then starches like potatoes or whole grain rice etc for the remainder....never more than a cup.

For snacks, I have an orange in the mid morning and a nice crisp apple in the afternoon. sometimes some fruit with some nuts sprinkled in.

I also have the latitude for either a glass of wine or two, a beer or a bloody Mary every day.

All less than 1600 calories per day. And a B to A nurition grade.

With no protein bars.
 
You could eat raw steak. That has a lot of protein.

Because protein tastes like crap. Most of the flavor in food is carried in fat and carbohydrates. That's why people crave foods that are high fat, high sugar and calorie dense.

Bodybuilding.com has a rating of the flavor and taste of various bars as well as the nutrition information. The page also lets you filter by different categories on the left panel.

There's a couple of bars that taste half-way decent but they usually have more fat and sugar/sugar substitute than the nasty ones:

....or you could eat cheese and milk which is high in protein and tastes pretty good,too.
 
Any "health" bars are just a nasty substitute for ACTUAL food. Seriously, eat a handful of nuts [no pun intended] if you are that concerned about your health.

Because they are fake - it is a money making scheme.

"Protein Bars" LOL
What are protein made of? Meat right ? and what do you suppose to do with meat ???
You roast, fry or oven bake ... etc ;)
 
The aforementioned Cliff bars are tasty. If what you require are protein and not just a healthy (sorta) snack then try the mixes. I like them best for adding whey or egg based protein in foods other than whey or eggs. I like Amplify double chocolate, I mix it with real juice (no corn syrup), greek yogurt (usually vanilla), and then whatever frozen berries I have on hand. Hit blend and yum... plus you get a serving of dairy, two of fruit and the protein.

Now if it is convenience you are looking for you can get shakers that you can transport ready made mixed juices and protein. Then you simply shake and drink, keep them cold in the fridge or warmer is ok tasting but not great. You can probably get all of that at Bodybuilding.com

I know that is not what you ask but really a very clean protein formula and then real juice and berries.... well that is much better than some formed and stamped bar. Athletes that originally used them could care less about taste they wanted the needed carbs and protein boost while pushing themselves to the limit.

Hope that helps some.


Oh and if you are really in a pinch i can make you gogurts and ship them to Aussie land...

I bought the protein bars because the eating plan I'm on has me eating 6 meals a day, and I'm struggling to eat 3 meals & 3 snacks a day. The meal plan suggested protein bars for a snack. I'll stick to actual food though. I can't remember who in the thread mentioned chemicals, but thats the after taste for sure.
