Subject: Energy bars and gels; where are they?
I can't find energy bars or energy gels in the nutrition database. They seem like natural foods to inlcude in a triathlon nutrition DB. Am I just looking in the wrong place? Please advise.

They may not be there.  This is only the USDA database. 

Although my Nutrigrain bars are in their(I know, doesn't really count).  Sometimes you have to try alternate words or synonyms.  Most likely for endurance-specific items, you will have to add that as a 'custom food' and enter the indrediants from the label for the first time, then it will be there forever.

We plan to add an additional, I think, 70,000 foods by the end of the year and plan to make other users custom foods 'public'.
