Protein bar rankings
Protein bars under 200 calories, ranked by protein
A bar under 200 calories is a snack, not a meal — so the question is how much protein you get for those calories. This list takes every flavor we track whose label says 200 kcal or less and ranks it by protein per bar. Numbers come straight from each wrapper's nutrition panel; we don't rate taste.

Questions people ask
Which protein bar under 200 calories has the most protein?
The first row of the table — the ranking is by protein per bar among flavors whose label shows 200 kcal or less. Recipes change, so confirm the panel on the pack you buy.
Is a 200-calorie protein bar a meal replacement?
No. At 150–200 kcal it's a snack; a meal-replacement bar is usually 250–400 kcal. Use the calories on the label, not the marketing name.
Are low-calorie protein bars high in sugar alcohols?
Many are sweetened with sugar alcohols (erythritol, maltitol) or fibers to keep calories down. The ingredient list and the 'sugar alcohol' line on the panel tell you; if they bother your stomach, pick a bar that uses a different sweetener.
