A 500g pack contains 9 individual bars with an energy value of 260 kcal each, which in turn are vacuum-welded together in an aluminum composite foil (water- and gas-tight).

Review: I liked these :) - I had bought this a long time ago in my last year of high school. Originally for myself and secondly for a friend who had trouble feeding himself. The flavor? Delightfully bland. You will find that if you have ever struggled in your life that this is just above that. A faint toasted vanilla flavor above a sea of wheat. It favors little better with water. I myself ate these before and during weight lifting bit by bit. I could also comfortably eat half of the block at once. It is very absorbent so you could panic and choke, but simply chew slowly and vigorously and you will find that these do not dehydrate you. Though of course, you'll almost always prefer these with a drink. I felt not so much dehydrated, but uncomfortably warm after chewing such gritty things. I find myself wanting to buy these again, and I wonder how it is that I ever found the will to eat them all. I recall these did not last more than a month before they were all gone. I was also the healthiest, and found I could suddenly lift my tall friends as I was merely a five foot shrimp with what people call a sleeper build. These are truly highly nutritious. They are good for hikes, late night snacks and pre workout and post workout and for anyone who is curious enough- and perhaps even hungry enough to eat. They survived being thrown around in a gym and being in the pack of a harried student just trying to get to his next class. Overall I find myself pining for these old days, and oddly enough I remember fondly these NRG-5 rations. In a time where much was junk food or fast food, and the food served at school was often times lacking- this provided a nutritional salvation that could pad the time between meals. It also served as an excellent curiosity around the classroom and my weight room. During the time I ate them, these cured my mortality, and I felt as though the world was mine. 9.6/10 would buy again, the crumbly texture may not be for everyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ peu aider à caler en cas d'urgence
*by A***X on 2 July 2025*

Ça cale en cas de besoin même si gustativement c'est pas ce qu'il y a de mieux. L'avantage est de pouvoir le manger directement ou avec de l'eau.
