Meet Paul Kahan -- Private Yacht Chef, Fitness Enthusiast, and Type 1 Diabetic, diagnosed in adulthood. Prior to his career in culinary arts, he studied political science at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. However, Paul decided to switch gears and follow his true passion -- cooking. Paul began formal training in 2010 at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where he studied culinary techniques and management. Shortly after graduating, Paul landed a job as a yacht chef, establishing a loyal and affluent clientele that includes the family of a Fortune 500 company, one of Hollywood’s A-list actors and more. It was in this role as a yacht chef, where Chef Paul Kahan taught himself innovative culinary methods, embracing the ocean’s dynamic diversity.

Outside of his private chef endeavors, Paul decided to take entrepreneurship in his own hands and founded NRG Foods. Shortly after learning his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, Paul recognized a need in the energy bar market for a smaller portioned snack made with wholesome ingredients, the right ratio of nutrients and most importantly, palate-pleasing taste. As a diabetic, Paul struggled with finding a flavorful, low sugar, high-protein solution sized right for a snack, not a meal replacement. Paul developed three flavor profiles that provide snack satisfaction in a perfect portion size that's packaged for portability.
