Continuing the truncated Quest discussion from May 2017: I prefer to consume my Quest bars with coffee which alleviates the dryness. My favorite flavor is Olga Chocolate.

Going to need a kcal/100g figure before I allow myself to get to full mast.

Continuing the Quest bar discussion....they're hard to get down and I don't like them. That being said, if you microwave them for 25 seconds they def taste better and are easier to eat. Esp chocolate chip.

+1 for Quest bars with coffee. Chocolate chip cookie dough all the way for me. My wife came home with 7 or 8 boxes the other day after a 15% off deal. <3

lol @ the candy bars are good for cutting sentiment.

Eat something worthwhile for the same kcal or don't bother. What's next, a protein cookie? Sheesh...

Quest bars are pretty ****ing far from being candy bars. They're basically insipid blocks of protein and fiber. Now there are "protein" products that are basically candy, loaded with calories and a bit of protein. Those aren't great for cutting.

Wouldn't we all? But the issue is that a very high % of total calories needs to come from protein during a cut, if lean mass sparing is an objective. Consuming 150 cal of a snickers bar will make it that much more difficult to get adequate protein for the day, so it can't be fairly compared to a quest bar.

It's obviously a super small rock, but I'd personally much rather budget for a treat or just eat another chicken breast if the alternative is a 'protein bar'.

I forget if I posted the TR, but I went to the Mr Olympia last year and almost got into it with the Quest rep. She was claiming stuff like their products cure cancer, ketogenic diets are the wave of the future and always lead to increased neurological efficiency, these protein cheese crackers are delicious. ****ing nonsense, but I held back because the poor girl was just doing her job.

Also, I enjoy the Costco/Kirkland version of Quest bars. Only two flavors, chocolate chip cookie dough and dark chocolate, but the cookie dough is good raw and the chocolate is good heated up.
