So when you you actually live then??
Sounds like a hectic schedule.
When I take time off from work
No excuse I wake up at 3 and work 11 hours a day 6days a week do all my cooking on my day off and reheat in the microwave.
You seem to have completely ignored the part where I said Sundays are reserved for chores. This includes doing my laundry, shopping for supplies, time to eat, clean the house, etc.
Yeah, I'd cook on Sunday... if I wasn't so damn exhausted all said and done.
Back on subject though, if the argument is going to be made for Quest to not put out a high carbs SKU because one can just eat actual food, why the heck even argue that point then? The only argument then should be Quest bars are pointless, just eat real food. Seems to be some sort of unnecessary defending or being apologetic on behalf of Quest. Which brings me back to my original point, the main stream consumers in which Quest makes most of their money from, likely only bought the effen things based on the brand recognition, not necessarily because it's the low carb low cal company. So it would appear to be a very good idea to expand the line with a high car high cal line of bars as well. For goodness sakes, they sell effen apparel now.
Back to the GNC example. They are practically selling only Quest bars as the only third part protein bar brand in their stores now. Is this because their clientele have magically become carb-a-phobes? No, because they still sell plenty of weight gainers. It's strictly due to brand recognition (and Quest probably throwing a lot of marketing dollars their way).
