stupid thread, don't care

With all the Protein Bars , Power Bars, which is your favorite choice?

Recently I found some whole nuts and fruits with no sugar at whole foods.
I generally dislike power bars or protein bars because they are so heavy.
I used to like lemon luna bars but now they seem too sweet.

So what's your choice for a protein bar or energy bar for climbing?

Honey Stinger bars are the best.

Has anybody heard of people having stomach problems after eating a protein bar and then climbing. I have noticed that protein makes my stomach feel very heavy and that it is much more helpful for me to have my protein after a workout.

That feeling means you need to poop .

GU Gel. But only if its under a dollar :-)

Seriously, when I was in canada I loved Oatmeal to go by quakers. Cant get that here...

Those are good. The old one were huge and had

nearly 400 calories. Now they are smaller.

A person I know started this company:

ThinkThin

http://www.thinkproducts.com/2011/

Their bars a very good and they are just breaking into the market. I have never purchased them as a supplement but have tried almost everyone they sell and have been very satisfied.

what's the difference between an energy bar and a protein bar? really, it's just a company's decision how to market their product.

Protein Bars generally have more protein less carbohydrates.
Some protein bars have no sugar and no or little carbohydrates. Big Difference.

Anybody still eating powerbars?

I don't eat them, but carry one in my pack in case I have to do shoe resoles in the field. Better than shoe goo and stickier than Boreal rubber.

Neither. I go with my "Backcountrywich". Start with two pieces of high quality wheat, nut, seedy bread and slather a generous helping of peanut butter on both sides. Add raisins, peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates (trail mix mixture you prefer but definitely needs some sort of dried fruit like raisins, dates, blueberries, etc. ) Then the key ingredient; pieces of dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips. Fold it together and voila, you have yourself a yummy, healthy, high energy, and great tasting treat that is easy to make, cheap to buy ingredients in bulk, and far superior to any "energy" bar on the market in protein and carbs. Might be a little higher in fat and calories and not quite as much protein as body building bars but damn my Backcountrywich as seen me through some adventures and I always look forward to it. YUMMERS!!!

Who knew?
Don't they stick to the rock when you climb?

No, they never do.






they're magical

I like the Nature Valley Sweet n' salty nut bars.

They are often on sale and cost 1/3 of a clif bar. Also, they are smaller/less calories than a clif, which I like. Also much easier to eat and digest with less water.

Promax

Love the taste, but the 30% daily saturated fat allowance in it always makes me feel little guilty.

I'm a big fan of Clif Builder bars for my protein bar. They have a some sugar in them but it's not an overwhelming amount. My overall diet doesn't have much sugar in it so it balances out.

For an energy bar I go with Clif bars or a home made bar with peanut butter, molasses, and whatever nuts I can find. If I'm at the gym I'll toss a sugar free redbull and gatorade into the mix.

What's wrong with sugar?

Well nothing really if you are pretty active. Which I'd assume most of the people on this forum are... more so for my teeth. I am not as gifted as my sisters and their resiliency to cavities :( (Yes I brush my teeth plenty)

Cookies and cream
she screamed
I want it now
with milk from the cow

a cold glass appeared
then quickly disappeared
snacks will have to wait
until you are locked behind the gate

cookies and cream
he screamed
and everything inbetween

I knew you were gay

So a climber appeared'
out of nowwhere
I'll give you a tasty bar
something that will melt in your mouth
without a doubt

with energy
of course
with protein
no doubt

where is it
I just can't give it to you now
you have to wait

I'm hungry now

wait for the bell
and the homebaked smell

These are great!!!

Where are the samples, I don't buy a box of unknown unless I get a taste

Something that tastes that good can't be good for you Jay.

For anybody looking for homemade bars where you can list the ingredients without having to ask a chemist, try these: Homemade, No-bake clif bars.

They're great. I made like 35 of them before I left on my trip. The cost works out to about 30 cents per bar depending on how you cut them.

Thanks for posting that. I'm going to make a batch.
How do they hold up during travel? In other words, how long are they staying fresh and edible?

Pro Bar is pretty damn good...but also pretty damn $$$...

Pemmican?

I made a batch; they're damn tasty. I used sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. Also, I used molasses instead of brown rice syrup. Next time I'll increase the seeds to boost the protein.

Don't they fall apart?

I tried to make Pemmican once...put nuts, Huckleberries and some home made jerky in a blender...problem was a chip of glass broke off and ended up in the Pemmican. When I gave a piece to my friend I heard a loud crunch, looked over and noticed a piece missing form the blender and made my buddy spit it out.

Pemmican bar- wanna bleed?

Protein=Steak
Isotonic Drink=Beer
Carbohydrate/Fats=French Fries

Trader Roes has these fruit and nut bars called "kind". Those are my choice.
