Zone Perfect Bars by Abbott Laboratories - Protein Bar

Walmart needs to keep a consistant supply of these for us.

When I was pregnant with my son, I had diabetes. I went to a counselor/nutritionist each week and learn so much about the correct balance of carbs/proteins/fats from her and the importance of that balance to control blood sugars without insulin. The Zone Bars are PERFECT for that. You want to have a good about of protein after surgery but you MUST balance it with the appropriate amount of carbs and fats for your body to be most efficient. So, for those thinking there are too many carbs/sugars...there isn't!! A quick way to check is to take the amount of protein (in grams) and divide by 7. Then take the amount of carbs (in grams) and divide by 10. Those two results should be almost equal for a good balance. So for a zone bar with 22 gm carbs and 16gm protein...the result is 2.2 carbs to 2.3 protein! PERFECT!!

This was the first protein bar that I could actually eat without wanting to chug a gallon of water after each bite or spit it out. I recommend the Chocolate Peanut Butter or Chocolate Caramel Cluster ones. The fruity/yogurt ones are not so great. They really help with keeping those carb/sugar cravings under control :)

You can buy them in bulk in assorted flavors

This product is awsome! It taste like a candy bar. I usually have it as my afternoon snack.

I have tried several Protein bars, only to toss them in the garbage after opening the package. Zone bars are really good. I like the Mint and Peanut Butter. There are 16 gm. of protein in each bar. I have one for breakfast everyday, it goes very well with my hot tea in the morning.

these bars ROCK..... I love them. choc grahm and peanut butter are my favorite=)

Chocolate Mint is the best!! Sometimes Hi-Health has them on sale for $.99, but they usually run about $1.19 eacj. You can get a box of 5 or 6 at Wal-Mart for a good price. They have 16g of protein, but they have 210 calories and 7 g of fat.

I was using this product post op. What I didnt realize was it was extremely high in sugar and carbs. I also didn't realize that the amount of protein it advertises is mostly a type of protein that is not able to absorb into the body. A total waste for a gastric-bypass patient. Thought I was doing the right thing with my protein intake only to find out from a nutritionist that I definently was not gettin much (if any) protein from these bars!

I wish they were cheaper but its pretty good, like a rice crispy treat and big, enough for 2 meals in the beginning.
