Hey folks:

Just wanted to know what other types of power bars/nutrition bars besides the P90X bars would be the grocery store equivalent?

I'm not going to buy the P90X branded bars, but I figured there is some over the counter bars that are close enough...any suggestions?

You could just make your own protein bars.
Go to the Bodybuilding.com Forums and search for protein bar recipes. People put their recipes on there and they are cheaper with not as much fat and crap that some protein bars from the store have. Here is an example of one that I use.

MagicPunt's MRBs (Meal Replacement Bars):

Combine in large mixing bowl:

3 Cups Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Natural Peanut butter
1 cup Skim Milk
4 Scoops Protein Powder
dash of cinnamon

Mix with a large spoon or knife until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)

use the spoon or knife to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)

top with 4-8 packets splenda

put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

11g fat (good monounsaturated fats)
26g carbs
21g protein

285 calories

I bought Atkins Advantage bars... Chocolate Peanut Butter

Front wrapper says 18g protein, 1g Sugar, and 2g "net" carbs whatever that means. Peek over on the back wrapper and it's 22g Total carbs. Supposedly the net carbs are carbs that impact blood sugar, and good carbs have a lower impact on blood sugar. Oh and 240 calories.

All of the Cliff Builder's bars are good. I also like the Cinnamon Creme South Beach bar.

I jsut picked up the Atkins Advantage bars - they're pretty tasty. I have to look for the cliff builders - I haven't seen them around here in a while.
