The official diet and nutrition thread

Anyone tried the Built Bar? Keep hearing ads and sports radio guys talking about how awesome they are (I know, I know - what else are their ads going to say?)

Eddie, my wife picked some up from someone who didn't like them. Fortunately for me, I really, really like it. I have only tried the one flavor (salted caramel), but it reminds me of a 3 Musketeers. Sure, it's not a Snickers, but you eat 3 Musketeers before you get to the Dum Dums and candy corn in the halloween bucket. For a 130 cal, high protein bar, I think that's decent praise.

I would eat the candy corn before the 3 Musketeers.

That explains a lot.

Yes...yes it does.

Thanks GM - I've tried the Kirkland brand protein bars and they're OK, but I'm still intrigued by the BUILT bars - they've got a pretty good range of flavors.

I am intrigued too. But they cost literally 2X what the Kirkland bars cost. Yikes.

They cost more, sure. But they'll occasionally have a sale for 15-20% off, and then they'll have a radio ad code that will give you another % off on top of that.

If they taste better and give you what you need for 2/3 the calories, and come discounted enough to put you in the ballpark, might be worth trying.

Well, hook a brother up with a code next time you get one!

I ordered a sample pack from Amazon with 18 different flavors. I’ll tell you what I think.

But they are not out of line for what other protein bars cost. In fact, they are a few pennies cheaper per bar than my favorite ONE protein bars.

You have such expensive taste.

Ordered a box of the variety flavors and they arrived yesterday. Holy cow, these things taste great.

After trying Cherry Barcia from BUILTI just ordered a bunch of boxes. Definitely twice as good any any other protein bar, so twice the cost seems fair. I am
Sold.

Same. Take my money please.

[Eddie]

Gonna give me whiplash going from "That's expensive" to "Take my money please" so quickly.

Radio was giving a 20% off code this morning - "zone". I've heard them give one on the Dan Patrick show too - I think it was just "dp", but I might not be remembering right.
