FAQs

What is READYBAR, and who is it for?

READYBAR is a meal replacement bar for everyone who needs to eat like a hero when life turns up the heat. Created by an ex-NASA scientist, it’s the only meal bar made to follow the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, giving you clean, balanced fuel your stomach loves — whether you’re saving lives or just saving your sanity at work.

What makes READYBAR different?

READYBAR is different because it was originally built for astronauts to replace a full meal in the harsh environment of deep space. It follows the 40-30-30 balance used in the Zone Diet — about 40% complex carbs, 30% protein, and 30% healthy fats — to give you steady, long-lasting energy. READYBAR has no artificial sweeteners and no sugar alcohols, so it’s easy on your stomach. It also includes Vitamin E and Omega-3s, which support recovery and help protect your body from everyday stress and oxidation.

How many calories are in a READYBAR, and why that amount?

Full-size READYBARs have 500 calories because that’s what the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends for adults in a single meal. It keeps you fueled when you’re on the go, can’t stop to cook, or need something quick that fits into your diet. Half-size bars (250 calories) are available as well.

Why is READYBAR low-sugar, and how does it help performance and recovery?

READYBAR keeps sugar low so you get steady energy instead of a spike and burnout. This helps you stay focused longer for hard work and long days.

Who created READYBAR?

READYBAR was created by Dr. Ryan Dowdy, a NASA food scientist who worked on feeding astronauts. He collaborated with first responders to develop a meal bar that helps everyone perform at their highest level.

What ingredients are in READYBAR?

READYBAR is made from simple, real ingredients like pea and rice protein, oats, nut butters, fruit, and healthy fats. Everything is chosen to keep you satisfied, energized, and nourished without preservatives.

Is READYBAR gluten free?

Yes. READYBAR is made with certified gluten-free oats and contains no gluten ingredients.

Does READYBAR have carbs?

Yes — but they’re the good kind. It uses complex carbs from oats and fruit. They digest slowly to give steady, long-lasting energy — exactly what you want from a real meal.

Where can I buy READYBAR, and do you offer discounts for government employees?
