I think they forgot to add the energy.   Granted I’ve only had one serving/pouch but still… oh wait… it says they are for use before or DURING moderate & high intensity exercise.   Oops… I know I’ve been slacking on the work out stuff lately but has it been so long that now we’re supposed eat/snack DURING a
