I like bringing protein bars/shakes to work as a mid-afternoon snack (or meal replacement on a busy day). What are your favorite brands? I'd like something to have 10-20g of protein, minimal sugar, and tasty. Any ideas?
Regarding protein bars, my go to is MET-Rx, but only as a ration for when I can't get a real meal. When my father was laid up in a hospital for days at a time, I'd go buy a bunch of these protein bars, bring a bag of them to the hospital, and leave them in the room for sibling to nosh on when they got hungry at 2:00 AM.
My hospital-associated therapist-lead weight loss group recommended HMR 800 Shakes as meal replacements for quick weight loss. The idea was to drink a shake about every three hours, a total of five a day, with a small meal for dinner. That would result in a daily caloric intake of about 1200 to 1300 calories which, along with exercise, would lead to significant weight loss over a three month period. After that, a dietician would teach the group members how to properly cook low calorie meals that we'd want to eat on a regular basis.
I read the nutrition label for the HMR shakes and found that each one contained 18 grams of sugar, something a diabetic should avoid. To the disapproval of the group therapist, I switched over to Premier Protein Plus, which had only 1 gram of sugar per shake. Note that Premier Protein has a disclaimer that its shakes are not meal replacements; still, they worked out fine for me.
Sometimes I'll get the Power Crunch, One or Quest bars.
