I am starting MANS and THT training for the new year. I am 6'4" 270lbs and I want to build muscle and lose some fat.
THe daily 6 meal plan includes protien bars and i am unsure of which brand will help because some of the bars sold here
in the states are basically just candy bars with a protien label. Any suggestions?

thats a good question. in my experience (in Canada) barely any of these 'protein' bars are low carb aswell. I'd advise making your own from some of Marks recipes. Those not only taste great, but are low carb, AND if you want you can add different flavours and whatnot.
good luck to you with the system.

I have yet to find a packaged protein bar that was actually low carb, I don't think it exists actually. Most of them claim low carb but looking at the ingredients they typically have like 25-30g sugar alcohols, usually in the form of maltitol or maltitol syrup, which can not be subtracted from net carbs like fiber, despite what the deceptive packaging on some of the bars say.

Thanks for the help guys, It was what i though all along. guess i have to start making my own. thanks again!

I like 2:1 Cookies and Cream - 280 calories, 7 Fat, 16 carbs (2 sugar)(7 sugar alchol)(1 fiber), 32 protein, and it tastes great.

Yeah but that is half of the carb allowance on MANS in one bar !
