I will. Anything that involes my lower back I will be wearing the belt. After hurting my lower back 2 weeks ago. I'm not taking any chances. Worst pain I've every felt.

I'm not an expert on this stuff by any means, so someone correct me if im flat out wrong.quest will win the lawsuit

From what I've read, the bars contain isomalto-oligosaccharides, which act as a fiberous carb. It has a different calorie per gram number than regular carb. Basically, there are different interpretations on the testing and what the results actually yield.
here is the actual law suit: http://romanoroberts.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/031117536688.pdf
Testing: http://www.strengthsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/LabReport.pdf
IMO, it is not a big deal, just a very shady business practice. Any misrepresentation of fact that causes reliance to buy their bars (quest claims their bars have the perfect nutritional profile) is an actionable lawsuit.

It's not double the calories. That count shows calories per 100 grams. The bar i just looked up only has 60 grams.so by that test its saying it has double the calories?
no way thats true... if so

For those who wear a weight lifting belt, when exactly do you use it? meaning when do you put it on an when it is removed? Im curious to how often its used and when its used/not used.

Usually when I get to 80% and up on whatever lift I'm doing. Then once Im done with those sets I take it off, drop the % and do more sets.
Wearing a belt is not cheating lol get off your high horse
I do laugh when I see people wear one for literally everything they do, even curls
Speaking of weird things, I saw a dude benching on the smith machine with the squat pad on the bar. I was very confused.

I do all my heavy lifts raw now. Used to have a belt but it wore out and haven't ordered another.
Like Al Audi said, I am an average bro - do not need the belt if I am conscientious of my form. All I need is a good pair of sweat pants or long socks for that bar hitting the shin occasionally.

The few times I used my old cheap belt I would use it at the beginning of my work out because I start my workouts with compound movements. After that I put it in the locker and finish my workout.
I was all about core strengh than I snapped my back warming up on front squats @ 95lbs. My working sets were 235lbs. I guess I'm getting old. Now I'm all about injury prevention. Hopefully a belt will assist and keep my form correct. That's just me.
Yup, that happened to me. I thought I would never lift again. Luckily I have two good foam roller and did that to the best of my abilty. I just returned to the gym yesterday. Now I have to get my mind right. As I'm scared for my back pain coming back.

I don't use a belt and I'd say I'm getting to a pretty good level of strength (435 DL/300 Squat/225 incline/185 OHP @ 175 lbs)
I just don't see the point because I've never used one and still make gains. I've also heard from guys with belts that they can't lift as much without one because they only train with them after a certain % of 1rm.
