Neither.
The Quest Coconut Cashew bars don't fit the IP profile (or maybe you could call them Super-restricted and limit to once/week). They have too much fat. Take fat calories (60) multiply by 3 (no more than 1/3 calories from fat) and you can see that there are too many calories from fat in this bar. You'd want no more than 56 calories from fat to be less than 1/3
The other Quest Bars that
don't work (based on fat content) or would be Super Restricted:
Vanilla Almond Crunch,
Mixed Berry Bliss,
Peanut Butter Supreme,
Peanut Butter & Jelly,
White Chocolate Raspberry,
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
All of the other Quest bars would be restricted. There are two that fall right on the edge (Choc Peanut butter & Strawberry Cheesecake). Fat cals are under 1/3 (but not way under) and they both have 8 g carbs. I'd still call them restricted.

As a side note I did use that dukan calculator also and that had me at 152. Interesting the Dukan calculator
I've played with my goal weight up/down 5 lbs & decided to leave it alone for now. I picked "barely in normal BMI" for my first goal.
I'd suggest leaving it be until you are "there" and then deciding based on how you look & feel. I bet the Dukan calculator is more accurate. We definitely want to get to a weight that is maintainable!
