One cookie has 360 calories (!) but no carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein, 5 g of fiber, and 3 g of sugar?

The Pkg says, one cookie (one serving) is 20 calories, 0g fat, 0g dietary fiber, etc.

Don't be trying to ruin this for me hlthe2b! I search high and low for something other than fresh fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth!

I can have 4 of these for 2 points.
