Balance bar
Balance Bar is a prominent brand known for its line of nutritional energy bars. The foundation of these bars is the 40-30-30 dietary principle, emphasizing a balanced diet comprising 40% carbohydrates, 30% proteins, and 30% fats.
History[edit | edit source]
The brand made its debut in the health and wellness market in 1992. Its unique selling proposition, the 40-30-30 dietary principle, was heavily influenced by the nutritional philosophy introduced by Dr. Barry Sears, a notable biochemist.
40-30-30 Dietary Principle[edit | edit source]
Dr. Barry Sears popularized the concept of the 40-30-30 nutritional balance. This dietary principle is centered around the belief that one's diet should consist of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% dietary fat. Dr. Sears later expanded upon this concept in his series of Zone diet books, emphasizing the importance of a balanced intake of macronutrients for optimal health.
