Throw in the fact that Nitrean is a quality product and tastes dang good, and those are all the reasons I need to keep ordering from ALN.

Yes, Protein bars are a waste of time and money both. I wasted both using protein bars but then I came to know that having nutritious food is better than that through ahealthdir.com. We can make our body fit if we eat proper food and in proper manner. Eating only specific things disturbs our body and put bad effect on our health in long run. One must take proper proportionate diet daily.

Can you suggest any good protein bars?

I get a good protein powder from bulkfoodsdirect.com. It has 27 grams of protein per scoop. It's unflavored, so it doesn't have a nasty taste to worry about. Mixes well in most foods. As for the protein bars, I agree, most are crap. I make my own with a recipe I got off the bulk foods website. They have some pretty good stuff on there, my favorite bar being the Fudge Almond bars.

I don't get all scientific when I drink protein shakes. ON whey is fine enough for me and I can almost guarantee I will see no difference between drinking the two

Some people think the bars help them diet. But if you choose nutritious foods you can fill up on more than you’d get in a small bar.

I prefer Opticen from Atlarge on taste alone.
