Protein bars are a tricky one. I found them to be a handy, more macro friendly snack option. But I definitely found myself slipping to having them too frequently as I enjoyed them too much as a snack.

I find that there is a limit to how many I can have because of how goddamn expensive they are...
My favourite is the grenade chocolate chip salted caramel bar.
With the aim of being kinder to yourself, its better than having chocolate, cakes and biscuits too frequently as you enjoy them too much as a snack.
And if you find that you haven't met your calorie deficit because of protein bars, at least those protein bars had 40g of protein and only 2.8g of sugar. (in the case of the grenade bars)

A snacking or food reward habit is hard to shift, so you could replace the food reward with something less calorific / slightly less tasty, until it is more manageable?
Protein bars, protein yoghurts, fruit, cans of diet fizzy drink.
Sure it might be processed, artificial sweeteners etc, but on balance healthier than a slab of rocky road / brownie.
