The last decade has seen scientific evidence in the health and fitness arena that a diet with reduced calories and high protein, as well as a few high-quality carbohydrates, is the key to losing fat and preserving lean muscle. Exhaustive evidence also suggests that small, frequent meals (6-7) throughout the day keep the metabolic rate high and blood sugar levels stable, also helping to lose weight and gain muscle. But what does this mean for you and your fitness goals? Eat higher-quality foods more often to fuel your body. Choose meal replacement options and pre- and post- workout meals that offer the nutrition you need to reach your potential. This is precisely why Metragenix has created the 2:1 Protein Bar. Because we know that great taste and the best nutrition matter most to men, to women, to athletes…to you. Metragenix brings decades of experience consulting with health professionals and working with clients in a personal training capacity—all to achieve optimum results in health and wellness. Offering consumers nutritional products designed to enhance health, longevity and quality of life, the company’s staff has honed its expertise in supplemental nutrition for meal replacement. In doing so, they found that the majority of protein bars on shelves today contain more carbohydrates than protein, along with a substantial amount of fat. In fact, they found only a handful of protein bars that had a 1:1 ratio of protein to carbohydrate. Metragenix realized that there was the demand for—and no supply of—a great tasting protein bar that was low in carbohydrates and packed with the highest quality protein isolate. There was no perfect bar for both meal replacement and post-workout meal… so they developed the 2:1 Protein Bar.
