You got millions of brands out there. Look at the nutrition facts and then go after your taste. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Check the labels, though, some of them are super high in sugar and use low BV proteins. Make sure there's not a lot of sugar and that there's an RDA percentage across from the protein content and that is is twice the amount of protein (i.e. -- A bar with 24g or protein should have 48% in the %RDA column). -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

Any thoughts? ============ Quoting from ravenwolf: That is very good info mackfactor. I always looked at the sugar and to see how much protein but I never looked at the RDA%.
