great, LayLay! there was someone on 3fc who made protein bars - as soon as i remember more details, i'll see if i can find the recipe. she was very careful about her carbs, so they should work

Another question for u ladies. The pure protein bars I bought have a whopping 31 carbs in a bar. Granted, I only eat half of one at a time so it would be 15 carbs..but that seems like alot of carbs. Half a bar also has 15 protein. Should I steer clear of these?

Fiber -2....sugar alcohol-19

subtract out the fiber and sugar alcohols for the "carb count" that you need to worry about. So-you're fine-10g carbs/bar and you're only eating half. Some people are bothered by sugar alcohols-I am, thankfully, not one of them. I love a little treat now and them of a piece of a See's sf dark choc bar . . .

I'd love to have that recipe if anyone has it!!!

i agree - as long as you're eating only half at a time, it looks like you have a winner here!

and also agree about watching the sugar alcohols. you might not be bothered, but sometimes, depending on the other stuff that you eat, that could change.

a rule of thumb that helped me at your stage: don't eat anything that has more carb grams than protein grams. and this protein bar fits the bill!

congratulations!

Thank you so much! I know I say it alot but I don't know what I'd do without you all!
