I'm going to try to make my own bar/cookie thing, partially because I don't care much for the ones I've been getting (Pure Protein), and partially for cost (though I haven't actually compared cost with this recipe). I have NOT made this yet, so I have NO idea how it will taste. However, I'm wondering if the more experienced IP'ers on here could let me know what they think of the nutritional info:
1 cup Byrd Mill 12% Peanut Flour Dark 8 Scoops Meijer Whey & Soy Protein Powder,Chocolate Flavored 1/2 cup Splenda 1 Stick Land O Lakes Light Butter 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract, 8 servings Total: 1328 calories, 52 g carbs, 64 g fat, 148 g protein Per Serving: 166 calories, 7 g carbs, 8 g fat, 19 g protein (Nutritional info from Myfitnesspal.com) I'm not too concerned with the carbs, more with the fat. I know butter is not allowed. Could I use coconut oil instead? (Though, that would probably make it higher fat). I think olive oil would not taste very good. Any suggestions. Has anyone made their own protein bars before? |

There is also one ingredient I am pretty sure is some kind of fruit sugar fructooligosaccharide. I do find it interesting though that only one of the products (the UHT Chocolate Pudding) actually has fructose in it. I wonder if there is a reason for that. I would love to hear other's inputs on it. Those wafers are AMAZING and I was planning on ordering another box. |

I'm going to try using alternatives for a few weeks. If it's too difficult and/or I am not losing I'll have to bit the bullet and get the real stuff again! |

Hello,
I just want to reassure everyone who want to switch to alternatives and is scared of not having the same results as with IP products that if you do it right way by taking the time to read the nutritional value and compare and make sure the product does not have aspartame, it will sure work for you as it did for me and many others. I always say that it is kind of like buying the no name ibuprofene vs buying Advil. |

I don't believe they do, I don't have many products left to check now, but what I currently have left don't, they are sweetened with acesulfame potassium which is the same ingredient used in IP products.
I order from proteinwell.ca and from nashuanutrition.com and the protein whey isolate from local nutrition stores or Costco, also, I have buy the Jamieson slim down bars from Walmart and when I do so, i read the ingredients to make sure there's no aspartame and I have my IP sheet to compare to see what is a similar product to IP concerning fat, carbs and protein and of course the calories per serving. |
Since money is an issue for me, I think I'll go with alternative products. I'd love to have a coach and everything, and while I won't need to pay a consultation fee, the food is so expensive.
Hopefully the google doc with the food comparisons does me well! I still don't know what the different colors mean, but . . . oh well. Edit; I figured out what the colors were. Never mind! |

wuv2bloved, I'm not seeing how to send you a private message (I'm still not used to these type of forums), so I signed into my yahoo and sent you a request through there. D; My profile options say my contact information is listed, so I'm not sure what's going on.

So...here is part of my 'alternative' product list:
Restricted items: Pure protein bar, Proti-diet/proti-thin oatmeal from nashuanutrition.com Non-restricted items: Pure Protein RTD chocolate or vanilla, EAS carbadvantage chocolate (I can only stomach the vanilla as creamer in coffee, can't drink it straight), I've also ordered some drinks off of nashua nutrition but they havent' come in yet. I'll keep my list updated and be as specific as possible to help anyone else trying the alternate route. |
