???? Doesn't it get expensive eating those things 2 or 3 times a day? The protein bars I was referring to are the same as the Atkins bars and they run over $2.00 a piece. I don't think he ever intended those to be meal replacments as they're fairly low in calories. Since your DH is 6 pounds from goal weight, he needs to be thinking about maintainance. Instead of the bars, why not some fruit or nuts?
