America is suffering from an obesity epidemic and companies need to sell their products.

So its blatantly mislabeled? Ive read thing can be 10-15% off but this looks like more 35.2%?

So whats wrong?

Is the 4-9-4 a bit off or is that label way off?

Post this in the supplement section, i think you might get a better answer. The quest guys hang out on that side.

I love them bars, i wish i could afford to eat them often. I eat them as a quick snack at work. I dont think i will be buying them again, $$, I'll stick with my canned sardines or 1/4 cup dry roasted edamame as my cheaper protein snack again. Money is getting tight around here!

i think it has to do with the 17g of dietary carbs in them, since your body doesn't digest them

Dietary fiber which is listed as a carbohydrate on US labels is not 4 calories per gram. Insoluble fibers are often counted as 0 calories per gram.

Thx for the replies. Dietary carbs would add up to right around the error of margin.

I actually like chugging ON shakes better than I enjoyed this brownie bar. I was buying it to look for something for someone who doesnt like the shakes and has stomach issue with them. They are pricy, but, it wasn't so bad at 18.84 a box shipped last week during BB's 25% sale. In the end, if it gets their protein intake up, it's worth it.

they take out for fiber

they take out for fiber

this - fibre has LESS calories in most instances

I don't know the ingredients in this product, but are there any sugar alcohols?

Those and fiber are counted towards the total carbs and both have less than 4 calories per gram.
