    by far, the best bars out there are Detour, Uturn, and Oneway. They are all made by Next Protein and have really started to revolutionize the protein bar market. If you haven't tried them, do yourself a favor and do it.

    when Detour bars came out, they sold the piss out of them, you couldn't buy them because as soon as a store got a shipment in, they'd sell out almost immediately. That was a long time ago, you can buy them at Target now.

    Detour tastes just like a snickers bar...30 grams of timed release protein with 12 grams of sugar. Sugar is a little high, but the taste makes it worth it.

    Uturn is similar to a Milky Way. same protein and sugar content as the Detour.

    Oneway is new, just recently came out. Same carb and sugar content as the other two. It is chocolate and peanut butter.

    I've liked all the Atkins bars I've tried and their 'candy' bars too and liked them all.

    I tried the chocolate Atkins shake yesterday, and I thought I was going to :barf:

    I had another low carb bar while on vacation...I think it was Carb Solutions or something like that, and those were gross too.

    no...once Detour bars came out I pretty much switched to them 100%. There are two new bars called "Odyssey" that are the first on the market to compete with them. They are much lower in sugar (3 grams - but 20 in sugar alcohal) and taste just about as good.

    Dillons had them on sale for buy one/get one free too! The EAS Advantage ones were only 80cents. I found some of the Atkins chocolate bars at Wal-Mart for 96cents this afternoon as compared to $1.49 at GNC. Wal-mart is starting to carry a lot more Atkins stuff and a bit cheaper than GNC.

    You can buy Detours at Target now...for $3 each.

    The cheapest place is GNC is you have a Gold Card which is 20% off next week.

    After that, National Discount Nutrition is the cheapest...about $24 for a box....you can probably find a better price on the internet.
