Myoplex - Great Tasting Protein Bar

[easygreen]

Hi,

Thought I'd pass this along. I've been LCing for about 90 days.
I needed a lowcarb snack so I went to the store and bought
about 10 lowcarb bars. Nine tasted like cardboard. Couldn't
finish them. The tenth was an Apple Cinnamon Myoplex
protein bar. Nice texture. Not dry. Covered with a
white yogurt substance, not the fake chocolate that tastes
bad. They have four flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Blueberry,
Lemon Cheesecake, and Cookies and Cream. All are very
good. They have 30 grams of protein, 220 calories,
6 grams of fat, and only 2 grams of carbs. Also, about
30% of the dailey recommended amounts of the more
popular vitamins.

Also, the same company, EAS, makes another line called
AdvantEdge. Same bar, just slightly smaller size ( 60 grams
versus 70 grams ).

My only problem is I'm eating too many of them ( 3 per day )
and I may be getting too much protein. :spin:

I wouldn't worry about the protein, but I'd worry about the hidden carbs. ;)

In Low Carb Tools at the top of the page is a hidden carb calculator. I'd be interested in seeing how the numbers come out!

The carb calculator says the actual carbs are 12 grams.
The label says 2.5. I understand the process the calculator
is using. Each gram of protein has 4 calories, each gram of
fat has 9 calories, each gram of carb has 4 calories. Add them
all up, subtract from total calories. Anything left must be carbs.


As I said, I've been eating three a day. In 90 days, I've only been out of ketosis 2 days. Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm one of thos obsessive types who tests every day.

I've never understodd why a low carb bar, which can have fat in it, is dry. Most of the lowcarb bars I couldn't chock down.

I used to like these bars now I can not stand the taste anymore. And the only Atkins bar I like is the Chocolate brownie flavor. I just stick to the low carb eas drinks. They are GREAT! :roll: :spin: :daze:
