    Finally you reviewed the IQBar. This is my go-to bar for meal replacements. In addition with what Thomas said, these bars also have a high availability and relatively low price... sold at almost every store including Target, Walmart, Kroger. They taste awesome, especially when eaten with Catalina Crunch cereal. The Atlas bar changed since when they first debuted over two years ago. Although they have increased the protein, the flavor took a turn for the worst on a few of their bars. I think the best tasting will be the peanut butter chocolate chip and the Peanut Butter & Raspberry. Sadly, the ingredient change greatly impacted the Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate sea salt flavors, as their taste took a turn for the worst. On top of all that, they are quite expensive. My workout bar, especially for strength training, will be MRE- it isn't low carb, but the first ingredients are beef, chicken, salmon, and eggs

    Thomas, I've enjoyed many of your videos. However, this one was frustrating because you passed over what I think is a superior bar to virtually all you mentioned. Nugo SLIM protein bars. You said you like chocolate mint, it was right on the shelf. I eat their bars regularly. Profile: 17g protein, 3g sugar, 170 calories, 6g fat (3 saturated), 18g carbs, 6g fiber. Ingredients: Protein Blend [Soy Crisp (Soy Protein, Alkalized Cocoa, Tapioca, Salt), Soy Protein, Rice Protein]... and NO palm oil. I'm curious, what do YOU think???

      It’s not toxic. It’s just a sugar alcohol. But it will jack up your gut. And definitely didn’t say that on erythritol. ua-cam.com/video/yncn0o-OhAU/v-deo.htmlsi=PUnJKa6NFmq0Afav

    erythritol linked to heart attacks and cardiovascular issues. Honestly I’d avoid it why can’t they use something more natural in it?
