SoldierFuel™ energy bars contain the ideal balance of protein, carbs,

and fat. First Strike bars and the old Hooah bars currently being put
into MRE’s and DFAC’s do not.

Note: The Institute of Medicine’s recommended percentage of

calories from protein/carbs/fat is 18% / 55% / 28%

Additional Soldier field tests confirm the SoldierFuel™ energy bar as

highly acceptable to Soldiers.

In late 2006, the TRADOC Research & Analysis Dietician at the Directorate of Basic Combat
Training, Fort Jackson, SC., conducted a field test and survey on Hooah SoldierFuel™
energy bars. The bars were rated excellent in all categories (taste, texture, performance,
wrapper design, etc.) 70% of respondents rated it above average in the “Overall
Impression” category, and fully 27% of Soldiers gave SoldierFuel™ the highest rating of 9,
“Excellent”.

Contain TRANS FAT

NO TRANS FAT
Trans fat is "the worst fat" (Harvard Health Letter, January 2004).

"Trans fat both raises bad LDL cholesterol and lowers good HDL cholesterol. It has
other unique (for dietary fat) adverse effects on the inner lining of blood vessels...
Eating trans fat is like throwing sand into your finely regulated metabolic
machinery."
- Prof. Walter Willett, Harvard School of Public Health

The Mayo Clinic calls trans fat the “worst” of all the fats because it “both raises your
‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol and lowers your ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol,” creating a scenario
that “significantly increases your risk of heart disease, the leading killer of men and
women.”

SoldierFuel™ bars use

the natural Vitamin E –
D-alpha tocopherol

DL-alpha tocopherol (which is in Hooah and First strike) “is the cheapest
and least effective form of vitamin E… Natural-source d-alpha-tocopherol
(as opposed to dl) has been shown to have a higher biopotency”
- Dr. George Obikoya

10g of 4g protein
PROTEIN

“I am a serving member of the Australian defence force currently deployed

overseas. As part of our rations we regularly receive Hooah Bars we have do
not contain the 10g of protein that [the SoldierFuel™ bar has]... In fact, the
chocolate ones only contain 4g and the Apple Cinammon bars only contain
3.8g. As we regularly require a high amount of protein in our diet, we are
getting very full trying to get the amount of protein we need. Could you
please tell us where the missing protein is?... Regards, Murry”
