Does anyone else on here experience frequent constipation when they eat Protein bars? Perhaps a lot might have to do with the fact that I'm lactose intolerant, but the protein bars in general, at least in my opinion, seem to be a lot harder to digest comapred to the shakes, even though those do make me feel constipated as well. For that reason, I've decided to cut down on my consumption of protein bars.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Protein Bars and Constipation

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Protein bars are full of inferior and overly processed proteins, as well as sugar alcohols and other fillers which can constipate you (or worse).
I'd avoid them entirely unless you find a brand you can stomach

Get Clif Builder's bars, 20g of protien and its all natural and no constipation (yet).
I had this MetRx bar years ago, like about 8yrs ago, and I didnt eat it all, and I put it down the disposal, and I was in bed, and the kitchen was above me, and my mom turned on the disposal, and I heard this... Chunk..Chunk..Chunk..Chunk.
I think the bar broke the insinkerator. LMAO
My mom then goes.. what is down there? I told her, and she said...and you eat those?
So now you know why you get constipated.
But for me, no I dont have a problem, and all I eat on occasion are the Promax bars. You may though, and some do depending on what are in them.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'm very lactose intolerant, and have no problem with Jay Robb's "no junk" cashew/coconut/whey protein bars. Good stuff.
Usually lactose intolerance = diarrhea, not constipation.
Try eating some salad greens with the protein bars to keep things moving along. And make sure you drink enough fluids. Perhaps put more protein and carb drinks into the mix.

oh great that's all we need.....a constipated, lactose intolerant muscle dude running around in a tank top and eating protein bars, oh bother this is too much.......where's he live?....this is cracking me up!
You are right. But I think you don't need to cut down protein bars in all your meals. You can add more fruits and vegetables together with protein bars. They are not only help you prevent constipation but also provide enough nutrition for your body. I used to consume edamame and green beans. They are not only rich-fiber that could help for constipation prevention but also tasty. I can eat them a lot. 
Besides, drinking more liquid such as water, juice, yogurt...Liquid plays the important role to strong bowel system as well as the body.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Here's something people don't get: unless your diet lacks protein, buying protein supplements is a waste of money.

Protein bars tend to contain soy. I would advise removing it completely from your diet due to the fact that it poses a risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. Bars cost so much more than powder, and liquid protein permeates into your tissues much faster.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
The Gatorade chocolate chip protein bar is my addiction right now. I don't really eat them for protein. I'm sure they're not all that good for you. I was running late one morning and grabbed one at work. Now I eat one almost every day because they're soooo good!
I've tried to cut back, but to no avail. I really think they're is some chemical that has me addicted. They have nearly 400 calories a bar, and by now I thought I'd pack on some weight. My job is insanely active and I've been lifting solidly for a year, so I guess I can afford this glorified candy bar everyday.
