I am a Paramedic, so my ability to eat an actual meal at work is usually not the best. I am looking for a solid protein bar.

I am looking for 3 things.

Texture

Taste

Macros

Texture: I HATE most protein bars Texture. I have eaten a LOT of protein bars over the years and very few have good texture. I really liked Power Crunch and Fitcrunch for a while. Some Built Puff are solid too. I gotta have a wafer/crunch. I can't do the chewy kind anymore. I burnt myself out on the three I mentioned, so I am looking for a 4th to add to the rotation. I just tried a Ghost protein bar and was highly disappointed in the taste and texture.

Taste: This is harder to be specific about. I don't want overly peanutbuttery and if I can find one that doesn't have much of that "protein" taste? I know you can't 100% avoid it, but less is better.

Macros: I want something that is actually nutritionally sound. Things like The COMPLETE Cookie have worse macros than a McDonald's cheeseburger, so I am trying to avoid things like that.

I am being a bit picky, but I have to eat them so often that I need something I can possibly eat every day at lunch if needed. I was in the fitness industry for years and developed a very unhealthy relationship with food, so I am trying hard to avoid forcing myself to eat things that I hate because "The macros and micros are great".

Thank you to anyone who tries to help!
