    Anything WITH under 20g of protein, should not be called a protein bar. :)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад +16

      +Western Propaganda I do agree :) There are other bars with less than 20g that can still be healthy snack bars, but they shouldn't be called PROTEIN bars :)

      10 grams of protein bar- Kroger Protein bar. 6 in a pack for 1.99. You eat 6 that's 60 grams of protein. You're going to burn at least 3 grams of sugar. At 190 calories each your burning 30% of the calories. Perfect for cheat days and much cheaper.

      Depends on weight. When you have a bar of 50g , 15g of protein is just enough. On the other hand, I don't get "protein bars" that have the same or similarly high fat content as protein content...

    I stumbled upon your channel 3 days ago and since then I've watched about 40-50 (total...so far) of your videos at night after everyone else goes to bed. I saw a comment on one of your other videos that said watching your videos is like binge watching your favorite shows on Netflix and I completely agree! Your videos are so fun to watch and you learn helpful stuff along the way. I've just started out on the eating better/healthier/cleaner road for health reasons (fatty liver) and I love how you help everyone learn about food but you don't throw it at you and make it overwhelming and harder to learn. Thanks for all of the amazingly helpful/fun videos! -The Nox aka Alyssa

    I wish I could stand eating Quest bars because my mom gave me 2 dozen because she could not stand them either. They taste like nothing but a spoonful of artificial sweetener to me, especially stevia. I carry them around in my purse as emergency snacks/meals when I want to avoid eating something out of sheer desperation. I just don't understand how anyone could find these a treat! I would like them better if they were less sweet. I tried baking one and it was a decent cookie consistency but still overpowering taste of stevia. Yuck.

      I know the feeling, I had heard so much about quest bars and then I finally found a place where I could get them (I live in the Netherlands and they aren't as common here) but when I took the first bite I thought I was eating a disgusting combination of pure protein powder and water, yuck. but luckily I found a different brand that does work for me!

    • @FortheBudgies
      @FortheBudgies 7 лет назад +1

      I have been powering through them as emergency snacks and have gotten used to them. Alyssia's tip to bake them makes the brownie one pretty yummy. I recently tried the chocolate cookie dough and find them to be much better. They are good snacks to carry in my purse for when I need something healthy to tide me over when I am not home.

Out of the ones that were shown and I have tried, Cliffs builder taste the best. 270 calories, 20 grams of protein, for a meal replacement -- its perfect. Kind is really good, but low in protein, but the natural stuff is my taste preference.

    Ingesting natural sugars from dates and healthy fats from cashews (in my opinion) should not be compared to manufactured sugar/manufactured artificial sweeteners and unhealthy fats. It is NOT the same thing and it shouldn't be considered as "bad" if used in moderation.I believe Larabars are good because they are a clean, less ingredients and are sweetened with natures sugars and has healthyfats which is perfectly fine. I don't use Larabars as a protein bar choice. More so as a healthy snack choice, but I strongly have to disagree with you that it's a "bad" bar.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  7 лет назад +42

      I'm not comparing the quality of ingredients here- I note that quality should be considered in our personal choices. The point of this video is to differentiate a PROTEIN bar from any other kind of bar/energy bar/bar that claims to be a protein bar that isn't.

    • @LuvinLyfe052
      @LuvinLyfe052 7 лет назад +30

      +Mind Over Munch Larabars don't claim to be a protein bar or energy bar.. It says on the package it is a fruit and nut bar. It happens to be a source of energy due to the ingredients, but I never took it as an "energy" or "protein" bar. The way u were speaking about it was as tho they are misrepresenting themselves & making "health claims" that aren't true as you said. I respectfully disagree. Although I wouldn't suggest people eat multiple larabars in one day or even eat them everyday (unless u have an active lifestyle), I do think it's a healthy packaged alternative snack food (which btw is hard to find for us health conscious people) so I guess I wasn't a fan of them being put in the "bad category" and to compare them to protein bars. That's not what they are. At least not the bars I have eaten of theirs. Sometimes people jus want a quick clean snack on the go. I wouldn't deter people from this product (perhaps except the flavor u tried! lol). We need more snacks like that on the market tho, so I support it. If u ever try it again try the gingerbread. It's fab.

    @amandatadd4954 7 лет назад +10

    Not hating:) just my opinion though that bars should never replace food. I think they should be treated as an occasional treat or "emergency" purse food. While I agree they do taste good, as a society many of us think of them as a MUST (along with protein powder) in order to build muscle or lose weight or whatever health goal you have. People use them as a convenient source of food after a workout because of the "anabolic window" which really is not a thing. Just wait till you get home & eat some real food IMO :) your body will be able to use it better anyways. I appreciate the work you do to educate people about making good choices! :)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  7 лет назад +4

      Totally agree, supplements in general should be treated as that- a supplement! Not a replacement :) If someone struggles to get that protein intake, then they can be a good option, but most people shouldn't need them.

    • @georgioskountouras3001
      @georgioskountouras3001 5 лет назад

      An organic ,raw,vegan,protein bar is not something different from the food that the average person would eat at home.Contrary may be even healthier.I want to say that organic ,raw,vegan,protein bars are not responsible for the percentage of population that are in obesity or overweighted level.Other foods are.Anyway bars ar useful when you travel,in hurry,want to avoid junk food,after the gym when you do not have the possibility to go home soon enough and of course when you forget to take fruits and nuts with you.(first priority)

    Very nice vid
    However, I have to pinpoint something regarding your words on brown rice syrup: it's a sweetener, but it's not equivalent to regular sugar as you say. It has some minerals and vitamins where sugar as none and, despite equal number of calories (is carb we're talking after all), the GI is waaaaay lower, which is what makes it a way healtier chose than regular sugar, not the best, but way better.
    That said, it should never been first on the ingredient list

    • @Pure_117
      @Pure_117 5 лет назад +2

      @Marco You got your facts mixed up, its actually higher in calories than normal sugar, it's also ONLY around 50-70% as sweet as normal sugar AND it has a higher GI. Also the vitamin and minerals it has is very little for what it has to offer than it might as well not even count

    • @maggierose97

    Could have saved myself a lot of work. Did my own research before I found this and came to the same conclusions. Quest is by far the best for protein, and Powercrunch is a reasonably healthy alternative if you just gotta have a candy bar. I buy Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough by the box and a smattering of the other flavors for some variety.

    If this is supposed to be a video about health, I think you are making a big mistake: you are focusing on quantity rather than quality, which has little to do with health. The amount of calories, grams of protein, carbs is not as important as the actual kind of ingredients that go in a bar. 10g of sugar from refined sugar is a completely different thing than 10g of sugar from fruit. 10g of carbs from white flour is completely different than 10g of carbs from whole grains. 10g of fat from oil is completely different from 10g of fat from nuts. By focusing on number of calories and macro-nutrients you are missing the most important health factor in these bars, and might be misleading people.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад +27

      +vappole This is a great point! I do note the quality of ingredients for some of these bars is far superior, but the point of this video is to help people understand that those bars are not necessarily providing protein as they claim they do. Cheers

      Felicity Davis Yeah! My goal here isn't ever to tell people what to eat, but to help teach people how to make their own informative decisions :) Thank you for the suggestion on different types of bars! I will keep that in mind!! Cheers!

    I love quest but the sodium extremely high??

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  9 лет назад +2

      The sodium is about equivalent to most other protein bars on the market with similar nutritional stats :)

    • @pedrofskymtb
      @pedrofskymtb 9 лет назад

      I dont think its a problem, because if you exercise you sweat so you need minerals, sodium being one of them, and if you have a balanced diet, or you are mindful of what you eat, chances are you dont have have a excessive sodium consumption, so again, i dont really see it as a "problem".

    I'm just like putting this out there that if your having a protein bar after a work out calories are good for u.. Good snacks/ protein bars should have 200 to 250 calories....

  • @korobeinikitypeA
    @korobeinikitypeA 8 лет назад +1

    Wooh, thanks a bunch for this! I've been struggling with justifying the high price of quest bars (I live in Sweden, so they're only imported) but after seeing this video I can finally allow myself to indulge in them again :D And it feels really good to have some guidelines for what to avoid :)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад

      +korobeinikitypeA absolutely! So glad you found the video useful. I know protein bars, especially higher quality ones, can be expensive- that's why I treat them as a "post workout" treat or meal and I don't just eat them willy nilly as a snack :)

      +David Grundler maybe so, they might not be for everyone :)

  • @lesley7x
    @lesley7x 9 лет назад +4

    I liked this video until you dissed the larabar. I know it's not a protein bar, but of all the bars you talked about why try to tell people it isn't healthy. it literally has like 5 ingredients in it and its all natural foods. So on the label it looks like a lot of sugar but its all natural sugar and natural carbs that are in the dates and nuts... No one needs to be scared of larabars.
    On a side note, the first time I tried a larabar i had the same reaction but if you take a few more bites and just realize that its mainly nuts and dates it tastes so much better. Of course it won't taste like those chocolate covered protein bars but that's because it doesn't have all those gross ingredients either. They are my favorite now.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  9 лет назад +5

      lesley7x I personally didn't enjoy the Larabar's taste, but my "diss" for this video is only relevant because I'm sharing that it is not a protein bar, and many people are confused in thinking it is. The point of including Larabar (which I did address had very few ingredients) was to show that it contains more fat and carbohydrates than protein, so it is not the best choice for a protein bar specifically- It doesn't mean that it can't be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for watching!

      I'm not "dissing" them lol, just noting that they aren't the ideal "protein" bar. They can still be great energy bars.

  • @No-cb9cb
    @No-cb9cb 9 лет назад +10

    :/ in protein bars you should be looking for what kind of source of protein it is from, many bars are useless because it's soy base protein which will lower testosterone and not provide and benefit. Also what is more important then the calories is carb to protein ratio, also you can eat bars with 300+ calories depending on how active you're and how intense the workout was. I am 13 and I eat like 3000 calories a day or more sometimes (HEALTHY FOODS). ALSO YOU WANT WHEY AND MILK PROTEIN (check in ingredients). If you see corn syrup or any artificial baloney DROP THE BAR.

    • @MindOverMunch

    Though, something I wish you did at the end was a brief recap of your guidelines. I had to fish around the video for a good few minutes before finding the mark with the list (which is at 9:20). May I humbly request a quick annotation? One that includes the sugar and ingredients would do just nicely! :D

    Hi Mind Over Munch! I just spent 2 freakin' hours reading labels on Amazon 2 find exactly what u r looking for in a protein bar: 20 g prot for 200ish cals, low to NO sugar, hi fiber & clean ingreds! I was dumb-founded & even took notes. Glad I found ur channel, have liked & subscribed. I will go back to Amazon to find & order ur suggestion. THANX SO MUCH!!!! Eager 2 see more of ur vids as ur channel is new & great 2 me!!

    I love this video! You're so thorough and specific! Have you tried simply bars? They have slightly less protein 15-16g but they're only 150 cals so they meet your ratio guideline. They also meet all of your other requirements in terms of clean minimal ingredients, low sugar and low fat.
