Anyone Else note this with Quest Bars?

**The Solution** · 12-08-2014, 06:39 PM

Just got a box of S'mores in

I was curious and weighed the bars to see if they matched the 60g label weigh. I have heard others tell me some weighed up to 44/60g that was stated on the label and the majority of mine came in around 54g and that is counting the wrapper, so they should be a bit less. I have had some that were 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 nothing really at 60g, so each one of my readings should of been a bit lower due to not factoring in the wrapper which would drop maybe 1-2g depending on weight.

Does anyone else see their quest bars falling short of label claims in weight?

Hire an attorney, sue their ass for false labeling which caused you irreparable harm.

Since I eat food 99% of the time, when I DO find myself in the position that I need a bar, I don't typically have a scale close at hand! ;-P

Well neither do i because i am like you and aim for almost all whole food daily, Protein bars bloat me depending on the amount of artifical sweetners. But after hearing a few people tell me some of the bars did not come close to 60g, and many were 44g, i was skeptical and weighed them out.

Then found out they all were short. I know a lot of people on here do eat quest bars so i want to know if i am alone on this one.

They also have began to use more milk protein isolate than whey isolate and corn fiber vs pre biotic fiber. They are going more now for states rather than quality, their chips and their smores bar i mean. While smores tastes really good i stick with the originals.

I paid 38 bucks for I think 32 scoops. We lll see . Probably is terrible

CCCD and CNC i still think are better IMO

DMX ---> i have read some reviews saying it was very subpar, but again it will be a personal preference thing. there will always be some other brands out there just as good if not better and cheaper.

What flavor you got?

HTW · 12-08-2014, 10:13 PM

I bought the vanilla . I'm assuming if you can't get vanilla right , the other flavors will suck

The calories are wrong too. They dont count the fiber, which is dumb. They are labled between 160 and 190 but are actually 225 and up. Also, the "net carb" thing is a joke. The ones that have "5g net carbs" I need 8 units of insulin to cover, that many carbs from a chicken and broccoli meal would require 1 unit. ... do the math.

Protien is very thick .. Creamy almost. Not bad if your into that type of thing. Taste is normal . Got my gut growling though .

I'm just OCD enough for this to have gotten into my head, so I bought a few yesterday and brought them home.

56g, 58g, 58g

No more often than I eat them, I'm not too fussed about that.

Good job. Did you put them on the scale at Publix? Busy day for yA, eh? It's annoying I'm prolly funding this. How long, if applicable, have you been on govt assistance?
