Which is good for an athlete. The middle one, with the soy protein powder, was the lowest in carbs, but still well over 50%. In related sports nutrition news, I found some guy who made his own gel out of honey and molasses; sounds much better than some fake cherry flavor.

I'm not scared of carbs, but I am always looking for the best ratio of protein to fat. Those bars were 8ish protein and 4ish fat, still not as good as my "Gold Standard" the original Powerbar, with 10 pro, 2 fat. Certainly not what I would call a "protein bar". I suppose getting lots of protein and it not tasting like ass is unrealistic. Fri Jul 29 09:10:55 -0700 2005 1478244 0 danna
