Does anyone substitute a meal with a protein bar on occasion? Its something I never discussed with my doc.

Honestly I'd eat the protein bar and then the meal a half hour later

they are ok to eat, and great to have around as an emergency item to go to.

 

Quest is a great bar with 20 grams of protein, low on the carbs and sugar size.   tons of different kinds to try out.  travels well since no choc on the bar.

 

i always have one in my car for the just in case

I do -- I use Quest bars.  Be careful though -- some people do have issues with them -- and they can be a trigger for others.  

I wouldn't make it an every day thing -- but they are good for meal substitutes in a pinch

I've never eaten more than 1/2 of one at a time. A lot of people like quest, but I think they are too high in carbs. I like pure protein. Amazon sells them.

Edited to add that I just found out that Target sells Pure Protein bars too! One bar has 20 protein and 17 carbs, but I only eat half at a time. Honestly, I thought they tasted funny the first time I tried them, but I guess I acquired a taste for them.
