Quest Ranch Flavored Protein Chips vs Atkins Ranch Flavored Protein Chips:
Flavor: Quest wins this one, but only slightly. The Quest version doesn’t have any more or less flavor than the Atkins, as both chips seem to be thoroughly seasoned, but the flavor itself just tastes better by a hair, in my personal opinion. Slightly tangier/zestier maybe?
Texture: Atkins has more of a texture variety between chips and more of those bubbly air pockets while the Quest chips are more consistently flat. Out of these I prefer the Atkins version.
Protein, etc: Both bags are labeled as 140 calories with 4g net carbs (for the 32 gram bag). Quest has 19 grams of protein versus Atkins 13 grams of protein per serving. They are protein chips after all, so this should matter, so Quest wins here.
Pricing: I meant to keep my receipt, because I bought these with the intention of comparing the two, but alas, I lost it. So while I’m unsure on the exact cost, if I recall correctly, the Atkins was the cheaper bag. But not by much.
Conclusion: It’s pretty much a tie for me. I will say though, Quest would be the definite winner (taste, protein) if the chips had just a bit more texture to them. But maybe that’s just me? I really do love those bubbly air pockets. So for that reason, I’m staying neutral and settling it with a tie.

They look exactly like the same chip, same bag layout and size, same calories, except Quest has more protein than Atkins, and Atkins has more fat, carbs, (not so good) but also more fiber (good) than Quest.
I guess it depends on what your you’re focused on nutrition wise.
