Basically, you are eating hazelnut cream covered in chocolate and egg powder. Also, those little bars are 10% of your daily fat intake and 25% of your daily saturated fat intake.
Another evil plot by BBB?

Actually, you are really not supposed to intake more than 40 to 50 grams of fat per day so those candy bars are more than 10%.

Please tell me you're kidding! If you're that worried about your weight, just pass on the snack basket altogether. :-P

I'm not THAT worried...I just figured people might be interested in knowing exactly what they're eating since it's not printed on the back of the package itself.

OK, time to go off topic. Yesterday, I interviewed a mid-40's former US FA originally from NJ. Our office manager said she was very impressive on the phone although she has limited experience in our field. She walked in, very attractive with the possible exception of her mullet. At this point all my Southern employees said, "Bless her heart". Northern friends would say "No sh*t".
I guess you can take the girl out of NJ, but can't take NJ out of the girl.

Ugh started diet today! Ya those nutritional bars don't fit in the diet unfortunately! Using www.fitday.com (http://www.fitday.com) to track it all!
Maybe they'll have Tuna packages for those of us trying to diet!
