Protein bars are fine mate, no problems with them. However you mentioned bulking and i dont really think a protein bar is going to put any bulk on you.

I think you might be better with say 2 scoops of whey as this will be cheaper than a protein bar and then have something like 2 bananas and a turkey salad sandwich. Or 2 scoops of whey and 3 weatabix.

You have to remember you have say 5 to 6 meals to get excess calories down you per day. so if you want say 3000 calories per day then devide this by say 5 or 6 (3000 devided by 6 = 500 calories per meal) so we now know 2 scoops of whey and 2 bananas are not going to get you there, where as add a turkey salad in a brown bap just might.

Dont forget the trick is find out what your maintenace calories are, average for a male is 2000 but were all dif. If your maintenace calories are 2000 then you just need to add 500to this and see how you respond and if need be add another 500 a few months down the line.
