protein
During long periods of time that I didn't eat. I had granola bars, fiber one bars, cereal bars, etc. Those are great camping snacks. Trail mix, nothing super salty cause you'll drink more water which could mean more potty breaks. Haha
Just stay hydrated. And have fun.
I drink whey protein and use it for cookies, I also eat protein bars.
When we discussed this with our nutritionist we were told to try to find one that we enjoy and not to worry about whether it is protein or starch. These protein bars are supposed to a balance meal in a bar. The ones made for diabetics are designed to help keep blood sugars level. We have found the Zone bars, and the bars that are low carbs (they say to count as a lower carb. than on the label.) Have worked better for keeping our daughters blood sugars in line.
By protein bars I mean Balance or Power bars. A lot of times I will eat them for lunch as well. I have eaten them for all three meals, although that is not typical. At least one if not two meals is typical for me.
I have a lot of digestive and health problems and I'm starting to wonder how bad this habit is on my health. Where are some good resources for me to read about this?
Thanks!
Good question!

Southbeach and special K make high protein bars that have 10-12 gms protein and are low in calories. I also eat string cheese, cottage cheese, tuna, and snack on salted cashews.
I eat vegetables with salt, and fat free margarine. You can eat the whole package. It seems the more protein, less sugar plus I do take fiber, I feel better diet wise.
They also make antioxidant fiber bars you could snack on.
Good luck.
Well, thanks again for all your help on everything ive asked so far. Glad i have a resource where i can ask questions, and get help.
Well, my honeymood period is ending, so i know im gonna have to start eating on time, and doign what is needed. My question, im a reallly picky eater, and being a diabteic dosnt help that out much.
Thanks for the advise. I have good days and bad days with the protein shakes. I think i'm going to try the protein bars and see if it has the same effect.
I also take the vitamins and minerals but not sure if they are helping. I'll keep taking them though. Kaceyv, what meds do you take that slow your colon down?
Weight gainers are typically higher in protein than whey protein supplements. However, the protein content comprises a significantly larger percentage of whey protein supplements than weight gainers. A lower-calorie weight gainer may contain 35 grams of protein, while a higher-calorie weight gainer may supply 100 grams of protein. However, given calorie amounts of 620 and 1,860, the protein comprises just 22.5 and 21.5 percent of the calories in these gainers.
Cereal and cereal bars are a good source of fiber, grain and energy for breakfast. Some cereals provide fruit and nuts in the mixture, which adds servings of other food group. Take care not to choose high-sugar, refined cereals; these tend to have higher calories and cause a sugar crash, resulting in mid-day fatigue. Cereal bars that contain oatmeal, bran and fruit offer sensible options on the go. Grab a piece of fruit such as an apple, orange or banana to pair with the cereal.
She stated that protein bars and special k protein shakes were totally fine! Just dont consume protein meant for body builders and people who work out a lot. Cliff bars, luna bars, special k brand stuff are all fine for us to eat. Ive also been really lucky too my cravings have mainly been for fruits and veggies which helps!
