Hey Gang, Just wondering if anyone has had the Trioplex brand Protein Bars before? wondering what you think of them and if they are good for dieting with when you are not on the bev. diet plan? High in Protein and low in carbs! What do you think?

Melissa, These bars have recently been exposed by Label Claims Testing to not meet up with what they list as to the contents, through lab analysis. I believe their actual protein was way below what was listed, and the carb content was almost double of that which was listed. I would guess that most bars also fall under these same suspicions.

Melissa, I would never use a bar as a 'planned' meal, no matter pre-comp or 'off-season' as there are far too many better choices ... in an emergency, do what you have to do to put the wolves at bay, but I usually just do a small snickers and drink a ton of water ... pre-contest (which is most of the year come to think of it ), I just do a handful of Ultra-40 ... by the way, how did the Fargo show go for you ?? ... tom
Holy Crap, I just read the reports! Thats insane for carbs usage! I dont want that many carbs! I cant believe that there are 55 grams of carbs and on the label they put ONLY 9! What a Joke! Thanks for the info Tim!!

I don't know what you were reading on the label, Melissa, they say between 34 and 38 grams of carbs on the ones I sell here at my gym... even so, the numbers in the test say they are almost twice that, which I think is true for most bars out there. Bars are definitely a "NO" during a contest diet for me, off season I have one on occasion or in an emergency.
