Odyssey Protein Bars

Has anyone tried one of these yet? A trainer at my gym recommends them since most of the carbs are made up of sugar alcohols.

There actually are a couple of decent bars out there. I only use them when I have to but I would rather eat a bar when I am on a plane than the airline food.

AST makes a pretty good bar called Vyopro, it has zero glycerin and only 1 gram of sugar. There is also a new bar by Chef Jay which is made with whole grain oats.

Yeah I just looked up that Vyopro bar - doesn't look too bad. Saturated fat isn't too high and also there are no partially hydrogenated oils in in the ingredients.
