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)

Amazon now have their own range, with very similar macros to the grenade bars - 20g protein, 2g sugar, 200-250kcal.
I basically just always order a box off Amazon, and get whatever is cheapest with similar macros. Currently have some grenade Oreo bars, the pack of 12 was £15 posted. Usually pay £12-16 depending on offers. Have had grenade, PHD, Amazon, and Sci MX (a bit grim tbh).

I'm not sure if I'm alone in this but I find that I crave the flavour of something rather than the feeling of it in my stomach. By that I mean, if you like the taste of the rocky road or the protein bar (or the bar of dark chocolate in my case) then just have a portion of it.
I am happier with three little squares of a lindt bar than I am with the whole bar because I know I had the treat but didn't fuck up. I decide on the portion size of whatever I'm having, put it in a little bowl, put the rest back on the top shelf in the kitchen cupboard for another day and then scurry away to eat it. 99 times out of 100 by the time I've had my little portion, I realise that actually, it did the trick.

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.
