Shopper's Report and Comparison Guide
Here's our new, delicious review and article
on buying protein bars. Read it, and I think you can
save yourself a few bucks! My goal here is to provide
you guys with the best and unbiased info, guides,
and reviews on bodybuilding supplements.
Being a fitness
nut myself, I know how hard it is to make a buying
decision in a supplements store, with the sales person
recommending all types of supplements to you - it's
hard enough with all the different brands. So it's
best to do your research ahead of time, and find what
product has the best value.
The Best Protein Bars & Discount Nutrition
Bars
If you've read our protein
comparison guide, you'll know what this article
is all about - finding the best protein bars your
money can buy! I'll even help you save a few hard
earned dollars. Keep in mind though, the basis of
these shoppers reports is on price only, setting aside
all other factors such as brand, taste, quality, ingredients
etc... I think that once you know how each product
compare price-wise, you can make your own decision
on choosing a protein bar.
Okay, so let's take a look at the
line up of the best nutrition bars we're gonna compare.
We can't compare all the hundreds of brands out there,
so we'll compare 7 of the most popular protein and
nutrition bars. Here they are: Pure protein bars,
U-Turn, Methoxy-pro bars, Solid protein, Nitro-tech
bars, Met-rx bars, and Myoplex Deluxe bars.

The Showdown
Okay, lets start with the Cost Per
Bar comparison. Met-rx easily wins here at only $1.75
for each bar. Myoplex follows at $1.91, and Pure Protein
and Methoxy-pro Bars are tied for 3rd.
However, the CPGP is a much more
reflective value on the actual value your get from
each bar - it tells you EXACTLY how much you're paying
for each gram of protein. After all, that is what
you're after right?
So looking at the CPGP, Met-rx bars
are still the leader for value, but now, Myoplex Deluxe
falls short. Why? Simply because each Myoplex Deluxe
Protein bar has only 24 grams of protein. Most others
have 30grams. Even though Met-rx has 27 grams of protein
- slightly less than others - it's also the cheapest.
Methoxy-pro and Pure protein has the 2nd lowest CPGP,
and Solid Protein bars comes in 3rd at 7.5cents per
gram.
So what's our top 3 pick for the
best value? Here they are:
1) Met-rx bars - CPB = $1.75 | CPGP
= $0.065
2) Pure protein and Methoxy-pro - CPB = $2.08 | CPGP
= $0.069 (tied for 2nd)
3) Solid protein bars - CPB = $2.25 | CPGP = $0.075
Met-rx bars wins this comparison
hands down with the lowest CPB and CPGP all around.
With this info in your hands, now you can make better
informed buying decisions for nutrition bars. Now
you know how much each protein bar cost compared to
the others, so you can make your decision now either
purely based on price, or you can factor the price
differences into your buying decision with other factors
considered such as brand, your own preferences, etc...
With this in mind, you can even
save more money by ordering online. On average, you
can expect to save around $10 to $20 bucks, and that's
quite a bit.

You'll notice in the comparison chart that Met-rx
and Myoplex protein bars have way higher carbohydrates
than others. This isn't necessarily true. The others
just didn't report the amount of carbs in the bar.
They write in fine print that glycerine is not a carbohydrate
- the FDA considers glycerin a carbohydrate.
Here's a little snippet of some
of the fine print on some of the protein bar packages:
"This product contains glycerine
which is not a carbohydrate but has 4.32 calories
per gram"
