Decent MRP Bars - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Timmy Smooth · 03-10-2006, 02:16 PM

I want to get a box of Meal Replacement Bars. I'll carry a bar around in my bag each day in case I'm stuck somewhere without anything decent to eat. I really want it to be as clean as possible, not stuffed with sugars, etc. Ideally they shouldn't cost the world, either.

Any suggestions...?

I'd be interested to know what people suggest here too....

I used to eat the Dorian Yates Cherry Almond bars but there was a hell of a lot of sugar and it made you fart a lot :P

The CNP pro flapjacks are cheap as hell, but do taste like crap IMO,
I like the Meso Tech cookies and cream, but they are about £25 for 12 in most places, but thats around £2 each (which aint to bad, cause to eat out would cost three times that).

I take one to work every day and an MRP sachet (Met Rx, cause they are cheapish).

The extreme nutrition ones are nice.

But tbh, you'd be better off just making some meals up at the start of the week, putting them in tuppaware containers, freezing them, and then taking them out as u need them.

I dunno mate each has there place, I have a two hour journey home from work so I like having a MRP bar in my bag just to eat on the tube on the way home. Also I have mine as a bit of a treat - well just something that looks like a choc bar!

Agreed tho if I was just at work or at home then I would opt for the tuppaware option.

BTW I ordered the new Meso Tech Cookie dough bars this morning - they are supposed to be luvly!

I've been using them for years, since I was a 9 and a half stone weed!

They were up the road a bit from my mums house, I know there are cheaper places but the guys in the shop are really good to chat to about training and things, and the customer service is good so I always go back.

**big pete** · 04-10-2006, 05:16 PM

how about making your own bars?? soooo much cheaper, and you know exactly whats in them

Timmy Smooth · 04-10-2006, 05:50 PM

Yeah, the reason I don't want to make my own bars: I'm not after something to eat day-to-day, what I need is something foil wrapped that'll keep for a (potentially) fair bit of time in my bag.

Although it would be better to have something I've made and have control over, it's not practical.

The reason I want an MRP bar: take monday evening, I had to go into town to get some computer equipment. While there I wanted something to eat, so I ended up getting a Sainsbury's chicken wrap (healthy range) and then two drumsticks on the return journey. Now, thhey weren't too bad as it happens, but what if I'm rushed for time, or don't have a suitable place to get a healthy option from.
