The possibility of lowering the fat content to a minimum and of almost totally substituting the glucose syrup with sweet non digestible and so non assimilable dietary fibres is experimented with in the BARRETT'ONE. The result is a balancing of nutritional characteristics and taste to satisfy demanding athletes. The reduction of fats that could have substituted the residual sugars is better than in some American products. Furthermore, no glycerine was used as this seeps out of the dough when the bar is subject to temperature variations, including minimal ones. This type of bar is recommended for all those who must increase their dietary protein intake while limiting carbohydrates and above all limiting the intake of fats. From this point of view, the bar is also a valid meal replacement, especially when the subject is on a hypocaloric diet. As with all high protein content foodstuffs, BARRETT'ONE must be assumed either before (at least 1 hour) or after physical activity. As is well-known, protein is not as digestible as carbohydrates and their assumption during performance can compromise the activity If this is a limitation, then assumption after a race or training can help muscle reconstruction, minimising wear and promoting ex novo synthesis of lean mass. Nutritionally this product has important plastic/structural value but is only of modest energy value.

 

SPORT: in addition to the nutritional value of the protein, taking them as a health supplement is indicated for sport any time an increase in or maintenance of lean mass (muscle mass) needs to be guaranteed at the expense of fatty tissue.

dosage: for those participating in power sports: up to 1.6 - 1.7 gr of protein per kg of body weight a day or longer. The assumption of high-tech protein bars must therefore be complementary and appropriate to these dosages. In stamina resistance sports: 1-2 high-tech bars are sufficient post race/training to aid recovery in medium weight subjects. 

EVERYDAY LIFE: the product is useful when the diet lacks protein (meat, fish) and for those who want to reduce their carbohydrate and fat intake during hypocalorific slimming diets. In these cases 1-2 high-tech bars can replace one of the main meals.

dosage: the recommended daily dosage for protein is 0.8 gr/kg of body weight. Two bars (60 gr of protein) provide a suitable dose of protein for someone of average weight.
