    As an American who moved to Germany a few years ago, finding the ideal protein bar has been quite the challenge, but I can absolutely recommend two for the next part in this series. One for each end of the spectrum.
    For taste and enjoyment: With not the worst macros, I have truly never had a better tasting protein bar than the KoRo bar. Both the peanut/pistachio butter bars are unparalleled in taste.
    For the macros: I've been buying and trying for quite some time, and I haven't found anything more reliable than the Lidl brand protein bars that are simply called "Protein Bar". 175 calories, 6.3g fat, 10.4g carbs, 0.9g sugar, and 22.5g of protein per bar. Plus, they don't taste like complete dog ass either.
    I'd be happy to send them over if you want to add them to the list but acquiring them proves difficult! Love the content, and I hope this becomes a recurring series so long as Dr. Mike doesn't permanently ruin his gut biome in the name of science.

It's a "feels like a treat" without killing my macros. So I REALLY appreciate you comparing the gorilla bar to that so I have a proper benchmark. So far, still feels like Anabar is top tier if you want macros and taste. Thanks.

    Musashi white chocolate and caramel bar is hands down the best for flavour/texture in that range with slightly different macros to the brownie version. it tastes like a regular person snack food.
    for people like myself who don't have a sweet tooth, a can of sardines is the best protein bar, with 20g protein, 5g fat, 0g carbs for 135kcals total. you can sprinkle it with some erythritol if you want it sweeter 😂

    I mean it is kind of unfair to point out that the bar doesn't look like what its pictured as, literally every other protein bar does the same thing. For the Musashi bar you say the brownie "looks so appealing" and yet it does not look like that on the inside, same with the built bar and the gorilla bar.

    It's a scientific fact that the best protein bar is a Kirkland brand chocolate chip cookie dough bar, placed on a paper plate sprayed with a bit of non stick spray, microwaved for 15-30 seconds depending on the strength of the microwave.
    It's basically a fresh baked cookie. I will die on this hill

      If I'm doin all that work for something to taste like a cookie I'll just opt for the cookie and eat the bar like a normal person lmfao

      Dude I HATE chocolate peanut butter protein products, but Kirkland’s chocolate peanut butter protein bar is so god damn delicious that I can’t buy them on a cut. One of the best bars I’ve ever had

      Whatever they use as a sweetener has a floral taste to it. Also, you have to get it 50/50 in boxes with the brownie, and that takes points off

    Mike is such a liar about Greg’s bar. He’s like a politician who discredits themselves again and again instead of just talking the issues. If Mike never did “political style” attacks about people, he would be respected by everybody. Instead it’s making people think he’s a biased liar. Even though he is brilliant. Cognitive bias due to an emotional reaction is real.

    Thanks for the videos! I'd love to see Mike review Lenny and Larry bars (Very different macros from their cookies) and Nugo bars. Jimmy bars have a variety of macros across their flavors that he would probably find frustrating.

    This is Scott's the Video Guy's iconic protein bar blockbuster hit movie of legend.
    Video idea: bars/candy that isnt "fitness" labeled, but somehow has great macros.
