The book suggests such convenient foods and gives a formula to calculate acceptable bars but i was wondering if anyone could suggest one? thx

Hey Annabelle,

Here are a few of our favorites:

For sugar burners- Diabetone (on this site), Cocochia, ThinkThin, Atkins

For Mixed- All of the above AND Zone, Balance, Ultralean PB (on this site).

For Muscle- All of the above and ultralean rice crispy & spice (on this site).

Hope that helps :-)

hey Annabell-

I am sort of a Costco fanatic (pre-washed spinach $4.49 for a 2.5 lb bag, 4 bunches of celery $3.49, 3 lb. almonds $9.99...I toast them myself) anyway, you get it. I found Detour whey protein bars which are AWESOME! 24 bars for something around $18. They have 15 grams/protein, 5 grams/ fat, 17 carbs, 2 fiber, 3 sugar, 12 sugar alcohol and no trans fat.

One more find that I will share (also found @ Costco) is the "premium nutrition brand" high protein chocolate shake. It comes in an 11 oz. single serve carton. 1/2 banana, little powdered fiber, crushed ice mixed in the magic bullet... great breakfast or snack. 30 grams'protein, 3 fat, 5 carbs, 3 fiber and 1 sugar.

Annabell:

We have found the Myoplex bars at Walmart to be yummy and in the negative numbers (Most of the Myoples Lite items we use are negative numbers)! Our favorite flavors are: Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar and the Choicolate Chocolate Chip bar.  They also make a Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Mint. The web info is: http://eas.com/product/myoplex-strength-formula-nutrition-bar.  We also use their carb control premixed shake and the whey protein powder for our shakes.  Some of these items can be found at Sam's Club.

Paige: Thanks for the insight, we are always shearing for variety! I will check out Costco too!

I really like "the builder's bar" from cliff bar brand. They really fill you up without a funny after taste.
