Nutritional stats for these bars aren't great. Only 10g of protein per bar but a whopping 22g of sugar :neutral_face:

Your body needs sugar to work properly when doing exercise...

No idea what this current obsession with avoiding carbs is about.

There's nothing wrong with carbs but to charge premium prices for not so premium ingredients should rightly be called out.

Stop listening to your government (or any government) full stop

Stop listening to my government, who tell me carbohydrates are needed to live? OK then.

ordered mine an says delivered by july 7th 2016,dodgy!

Tried these recently and thought they were quite nice! Not Huge protein content as others have said so maybe not the best for weight training but pretty ideal for long bike rides which is what I would use them for! cheers op

Has anyone ordered from these guys before? Looks like one of those "secret deal" places where you gota be a member first?!?!

I bought the Trek Morning Berry Protein Flapjack and Trek Banana Blast Wholefood Energy Bar for 39p in Home Bargains this week. Short dated end July/beginning August.

ss health foods have some protein bars on offer aswell. might be worth a look?

I'm under constant review by the docs so, ketosis is fine it's ketosis acidosis that is dangerous and is completely different to being in ketosis, my glucose is fine in ketosis hba1c of 36, when carbing in Dec it was 59, I did 3 marathons in one week not so much as a blister, and it's the oat bars I have issues with, the actual protein bars I'm fine with, my girl and I go through loads of them last 2/3months at least coco chaos and red berries10 boxes= 160 bars as the release slowly, the oat bars are the totally oppersite and that's what is an issue for me. Still a good deal for those that can use them.

I've looked in multiple home and bargains many times and never ever seen these in stock.

It's not clear whether these are the smaller size or larger? If the larger with 9-10g of protein then it's a good price. If it's the smaller bars with 7g, then not so much?

Good deal! These work better for me on the longer ultras than gels so I'll get some ta :-)

Peanut butter one of these is nice, but I think protein bar is stretching the definition a bit with these macros. Good natural ingredients, good for pre-training IMO.

Ketosis as you are referring to is good for short periods of time, long periods will damage your body, be cautious. Protein requires a certain amount carbohydrates to process.

Beat me to it.. My pet hate word "processed" came up and I was about to rant..

These bars are good healthy food on the go. Hot price.

Rubbish stop listening to representatives of other industries. :wink:

Your brain and body prefers to run on glucose. Ad hominems and conspiracy theories aren't enough to base health advice for me.

Just because we lived without vaccines for tens of thousands of years, doesn't mean they bad and not needed. Pressing a few fruits, nuts etc together into a bar is not the best example to try and demonise processed food. It's just convenient and tastes good. :smile:

Fine for you but not me as diabetic, I gym and run much better on fat and protein.

They are natural and gluten free, the premium price is for premium ingredients

Rubbish, stop listening to representatives of corporations and governments.

It's nothing new and it's not an obsesssion, it's simply truth, it's been a thing since Ancel Keys lied in the 50s and things have gone downhill from there.

Regardless, this is processed food and processed food isn't good for you, you don't need this stuff to exercise or perform in sports, people did just fine without it for centuries.

packs of 4 in Asda £2.

everyone is fat?

There's nothing wrong with carbs but to charge premium prices for not so premium ingredients should rightly be called out.

£2 for 4 bars at Asda

I dunno if they are the same, as I can't view that site without registering. The ones I saw were raisin and oats IIRC.

Nutritional stats for these bars aren't great. Only 10g of protein per bar but a whopping 22g of sugar :neutral_face:

10g of protein for 69p, you're better of eating 40g of peanuts.

The chocolate one is truely awful. But the peanut one tastes OK.

It's true but running 10k 3 days a week depletes my muscles thus requiring a high carb diet.

Not in my local branch Home Bargains Hillsborough Sheffield, but did have trek flapjacks @29p not something I'd buy as Carb heavy and too much sugar.

Bought these a few weeks ago for 10p a bar on the clearance shelf at Asda. l thought a good deal to keep in the car for long journeys or long shopping trips. Unfortunately not to my taste. No wonder they were clearing them.

Yeah, I saw them in HB today

These are 39p each in home bargains

Cheers, I buy one regular after gym for about a pound so decent saving here.

I was just looking for the best price on these, thanks op

It's natural sugars (fructose). I eat these daily as I run 30km a week
