Now that everybody is offering high-quality ingredients, it's hard for Met-Rx to keep the lead. It's kind of like being the gifted kid in a class of other gifted kids - even though you're smart, you're just one of the crowd. Met-Rx has the same problem, though they're trying to regain ground with new products, but the original Met-Rx is still a staple among many bodybuilders.

Truth is, like I said, that there's better options out there, in spite of Met-Rx still being a good product. 37 grams of protein was good a couple of years ago, but now they're way surpassed by competitors with 42, 45, and even 52 grams of protein, oftentimes for the same price.

Nextra Protein Crunch
I picked up this funny-looking little snack-bag at the GNC the other day, thinking it looked interesting. It said it contains 17 grams of protein, very little fat and carbs, and were from the makers of Designer Protein. Designer Protein is overpriced (mainly because of it's fame), but it's still a legit product so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Well... the experience is strange. If you imagine dog-kiblets made of soy protein with a really strong, fake BBQ flavor, you're pretty close. And that's pretty much where it ends. Dog food. Nutrition-wise, I'm sure it's a great snack, but I'm not giving up my protein bars quite yet. Granted, it comes in other flavors beside BBQ, but the truth is that I'm not really enthusiastic about finding out.

Value for your dough: 3 (expensive! $1.50 for 1.2 oz!)
