With M&A transactions getting louder, it can only mean one thing…protein bar brands are starting to party like it's 2019 again! In my April 2024 content, I stated for that "party to restart" the protein bar market needed increased deal announcements. And maybe not so surprisingly…it only took less than four months before a deal announcement included a protein bar brand that was included on my list. That's because in early-August, international private equity firm Cinven announced that it had reached an agreement to become the lead investor in Vitamin Well Group, valuing the brand portfolio that includes Barebell protein bars at around $2.2 billion. But what sparked the inspiration for this content…was that about two weeks ago, another deal announcement included a protein bar brand from that list of attractive potential M&A targets. This time it was 1440 Foods acquiring FITCRUNCH, a protein bar brand that was co-founded a dozen years ago by celebrity chef Robert Irvine (and the contract manufacturer Bakery Barn). And the acquisition of FITCRUNCH by 1440 Foods makes perfect logical sense especially if your deep domain expertise includes the protein bar market. And that's because you'd understand that the protein bar market (like the entire supplement industry) has mostly a “sea of sameness” composition. But where the protein bar (or functional foods space in general) varies is that differentiation can be derived from having a unique form factor. Furthermore, if that unique form factor proves popular…a competitive advantage can be created through defensibility if you own/created that manufacturing process. This is the story of FITCRUNCH…because if you remember what I said earlier, it was co-founded by the contract manufacturer Bakery Barn. So, as you likely realize…not only did 1440 Foods acquire FUTCRUNCH, but also vertical integration assets with Bakery Barn. This is super helpful across a number of strategic areas from financial to operational…as the core FITCRUNCH product being a multilayered baked process is much more complex than the typical extrusion or slab bars on the market. Additionally, while the financial details of this transaction were private…Bakery Barn customer concentration likely kept the EBIDTA multiple lower than typical contract manufacturing deals in the protein bar space. But beyond extracting value from the product complexity (uniqueness) and Bakery Barn vertical integration aspect, 1440 Foods acquired FITCRUNCH because its highly complementary to the existing brand portfolio of Pure Protein, MET-Rx, and Body Fortress. Additionally, this deepens the 1440 Foods concentration into the active nutrition sub-segment of convenient nutrition bars that has shown strong growth of late compared to the general grocery category. But my latest first principles thinking content will examine the near-term outlook 1440 Foods…and if the convenient nutrition brand portfolio is pointed towards an eventual IPO.

Today, I'm going to compare the ingredients of popular protein bars, but first, let's compare a Snickers bar to a protein bar! A 50-gram Snickers bar contains 30 grams of carbs and is about 58% sugar. CLIF Builder's protein bars are 68 grams and are about 41% sugar, with the same number of carbohydrates as Snickers. The extra carbs in the CLIF bar come from starches that quickly turn into sugar in the blood. CLIF Builder's bars contain 20 grams of protein but in the form of soy protein concentrate, a low-quality protein. Like most protein bars, they're also full of ultra-processed ingredients. CLIF energy bars are 68 grams and 55.88% sugar. Despite their name, they will not give you sustainable energy, just a tiny spike followed by a crash. KIND bars make several claims, such as “#1 ingredient=heart healthy peanuts," “low glycemic index,” “dairy-free,” and “non-GMO.” They contain glucose syrup, which is not a low-glycemic-index ingredient, along with sugar, honey, palm oil, soy protein isolate, and chicory root fiber. Quest birthday cake bars contain 9 grams of sugar alcohol, which can lead to GI problems like gas, bloating, and diarrhea. They're 41% sugar and also contain polydextrose, which hasn't been studied much in humans. Pure Protein bars claim to have only 2 grams of sugar, but they contain 17 grams of carbohydrates and only 1 gram of fiber. These bars contain 14 grams of starches, equivalent to 4 more teaspoons of sugar! The ONE protein bar is a 60-gram product containing 20 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar, but it has 25 grams of carbs from starches and cellulose, which is essentially sawdust. It also contains maltitol, an ingredient you'll want to avoid. The MET-Rx meal replacement bar contains 48 grams of carbohydrates and ingredients such as rice starch, maltitol syrup, corn syrup, fructose, and soy protein isolate. Next, let's look at the ingredients of an A.M. RXBAR. They contain 10 grams of protein, oats, cashews, egg whites, and honey. However, the front label is misleading because these bars contain several other ingredients, 52% of which are sugar.

What does the Republican Party's 2012 nominee for U.S. President Mitt Romney, the thirteenth-largest global private equity firm, and a supplement brand portfolio that will likely IPO next year…have to do with each other? A LOT more than you might think! On December 13, Bain Capital signed a definitive agreement to acquire a significant stake in 1440 Foods. You might not recognize the brand portfolio name 1440 Foods, but it was created from the leftover sports and active nutrition division (i.e. Pure Protein, Body Fortress, and MET-Rx) that Nestle Health Science didn't want in The Bountiful Company deal. Current 1440 Foods CEO is Azania Andrews, who had a 9.5-year tenure at the largest global brewer Anheuser-Busch. She most notably led business and commercial strategy for Michelob ULTRA, transforming the beer into the fastest-growing brand in America by repositioning it to focus on active lifestyles and better-for-you choices. in the last 20 months leading 1440 Foods, she has done a great job transforming what Nestle Health Sciences thought was trash by overhauling the Pure Protein and Body Fortress brands and growing all three convenient nutrition brands revenue in 2023. Yet, if all is good at 1440 Foods…why take on a major investment from Bain Capital? Last week, when any CPG pundit talked about the Bain Capital and 1440 Foods deal…they cited the PE firm's existing CPG holdings Valeo Foods and Dessert Holdings. But that information seemed like one of those sentences thrown into a complex math problem from early grade school that tried to confuse you. Instead, the critical information (to decode what's next) might be a bit more hidden. In the 1440 Foods and Bain Capital deal press release, they give the boilerplate reasoning for the investment…to fuel innovation, expand distribution, and build upon the strong brand momentum. Now…that might very well be the base case because, well that's the strategic gameplan for any leading lifestyle nutrition company, but Bain Capital isn't interested in hitting singles and doubles. The home run play is to utilize parts or all its previous Nutraceutical International (now known as The Better Being Company) playbook from the 1990s.

In this episode, we discuss food timing, exercise hacks, and why we need to learn how to eat again. Over to Joel. Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Joel Greene to the podcast. Joel, thank you so much for sharing some of your time. How are you today? Joel 01:28 I'm actually fantastic. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it. Stu 01:34 No, certainly the honor is all mine, but first up, for all of our listeners that may be new to you, unfamiliar with you, and your work, and your message, I'd love it if you could just tell our listeners a little bit about yourself. Joel 01:50 Yeah. So, the question I get a lot is, "Are you a doctor or where'd you get all this stuff?" And my answer is pretty much, I really think of myself as just a consumer. I mean, that's all that I've ever really thought of myself as. I'm just a consumer who, if you go down a certain rabbit hole, and the meta rabbit hole would be that thing we call fitness and body consciousness. If you go down that rabbit hole and listen to people, and then you continue down that rabbit hole, I'm just what you get at the end of 30, 40 years of that, which is at the midpoint, very disillusioned, then where I'm at now, which is just really after what really works in the real world over time for the vast majority of people. What got me to that was, I had done the whole fitness thing starting really in 1970 with Jack LaLanne. I'm very, very old, so a billion years ago when there was just three channels, Jack LaLanne was like the only thing on, and I would just get up every morning and I would go. I had a onesie that had Tigger on it and Jack had a onesie so, as a kid, I thought that was kind of cool. He's got a onesie too. So, I would just go and I would just mimic whatever he did, and it kind of just became this thing that I got into and did my entire life. So, what happened was, I just was fortunate to grow up around a lot of Olympic athletes. I lived in San Jose, California, and at the time, you had Bruce Jenner, now Caitlin, and you had Mac Wilkins and you had Millard Hampton and Ben Plucknett and all these Olympic gold and silver medalists that were training there. So, I was around that and I just got bitten by the athletic bug really early. So, in fifth grade, I was going and doing interval sprints at school, trying to get faster. In ninth grade, we had all these Olympic athletes that would train at my high school because my high school coach was an Olympic vaulting coach and he actually coached Jenner. So, I just was doing what they were doing, and they were doing clean and jerks and Olympic lifts. I was so skinny. I'm six, three, and I was 160 pounds, and I was humiliated when people saw my arms. I was doing everything I could do to just not be so skinny. So, I kind of got bitten by the bodybuilding bug when I was very young, 12, 13 years old. I kind of followed that path throughout going into my twenties, and I was never paid to be fit. I was never a fitness person. I was just a regular person, and I would just take whatever was new as soon as it came out and I would just wholeheartedly just digest it and do it militantly. So, in the late eighties, a company came out, Champion Nutrition, and they had a product called Metabolol II, and it was what was called a metabolic optimizer. The label said, "MCTs, the fatless fat." This was the era where fat was evil, and every product out there had a no fat, no fat on the label. So, here's this company saying on the label these fats can't be stored as fat. I was blown away by that. I was like, "Wow. How's this work?" So, I started really studying everything I could find on MCTs and nutrition. About that time, 2000 or 91, 92, I think, Vince McMahon got into bodybuilding and put everybody on the keto diet. So, this was more of this fat thing. I started looking at this and how can it be that fats can make you lean. That was impossible back then. That led into when Met-Rx first came out in the early nineties. I was like one of the first hundred customers for that. They had it in two cans and it was amazing stuff. Like I got pealed. I was probably 5% body fat for a number of years on that stuff. For interview and transcript: https://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/joel-greene-interview/ ‎

Why he was so drawn in the world of strength training and bodybuilding. How his background and negative childhood experiences shaped who he is today. The contrast between fitness and wellness and how they're changing in the current industry. Why Planet Fitness wouldn't allow one of his clients to have a membership based on her weight. Why people are so hesitant to join a gym and start weight training. How he's helped people completely transform their lives by creating healthy habits rather than looking for that quick fix. The wrong advice that people are giving to their clients or on social media. Why it's better to work one-on-one with a personal coach rather than a social media influencer. The biggest No-Nos to be aware of and avoid in a personal trainer. Why resistance training, not cardio, should be the foundation of your fitness plan for losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle. The importance of mixing up workouts for both a physical and mental beneficial standpoint. Why some of your favorite workouts might not be good for you but specific training can help you become the strongest version of yourself. How to integrate strength training into a holistic lifestyle based on self-love. The importance of having a mindset for longevity rather than just losing weight. Train to failure: should you be doing it doing your workouts?  Why he starts clients off with belly breathing and how much they focus on doing before working out. His own spiritual practice of thinking how he could be a better person. How his focus on physical intelligence has changed from when he was 20 to now at 40. Power Quotes From The Show "Getting fit isn't as hard as you think; you just took an incorrect approach because someone probably steered you in the wrong direction." - @DonSaladino on @WellnessForce Radio episode 225 http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "You don't have to be a gym killing yourself in the gym. You don't have to have this Biggest Loser approach to fitness or be vomiting after each workout. Being healthy is just about making better choices, moving in an intelligent way, and if people took that approach, they'd be able to reach their health and fitness goals a lot quicker and easier than they ever imagined. As I'm getting older, I'm finding that I may even need less and just do two-three movements each day. It's shocking how a little can go a long way." - Don Saladino "People find going to the gym very intimidating. When someone's not used to being in the fitness environment, they immediately feel insecure but the truth is, no one cares how you look. I don't care what type of shape you're in or what you look like. If you're at the gym and you're a good, quality human being who's putting an effort in, I have great respect for you. If you still feel insecure about the gym, just go in there for 10 minutes and do something really simple like a 3-movement circuit or run around the track to build confidence." - Don Saladino "Training a celebrity really isn't any different; they have families, work, and time constraints too. The only difference is that sometimes we have a definitive goal that has to be reached in 3 months. What people need is consistency. Some days you can go in there with just a 40-60% effort and it's all good because it's better than not doing anything for weeks. Plus that day off from the gym might be exactly what you need sometimes." - Don Saladino   Links From Today's Show Don Saladino Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Drive495 Health Clubs Facebook Twitter Instagram Playbook App Don Saladino Blog Super Trainer: Meet The Man Behind Some of Hollywood's Fittest Action Heroes Don's No-Hangover Playbook Don Saladino On Training Celebrities, Running A Gym, And Getting Cover-Ready In 30 Days Don Saladino'S 7-Week Plan To Get Shredded From Head To Toe Robert Irvine - Interview With Celebrity Trainer Don Saladino TrueForm Runner Treadmills Charlie Weingroff Kyle Balzer TMHS 280: Exercise Secrets & Building Superhero Bodies – With Celebrity Trainer Don Saladino WFR 203 Brian Mackenzie About Don Saladino Don Saladino is one of the most in-demand and respected trainers in the business.  For over 20 years, he has coached actors, athletes, musicians, and titans of business function at their full potential.

Protein Bar Break Comparison I compared the Power bar (38), Met RX (41) Pure Protein (44) and Cliff Bar (61). The biggest problem with the lower ranked bars was the addition of saturated fat and sugar. The scoring was via the Shop Well App.  They recommend the Quest Bar line who has interesting flavors like Peanut Butter Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and variety packs
