Yeah. Basically the same problem that the original poster said and other similar posts on the forum. Calorie contents way off, menu's nothing like on the website, etc. I think a search here for Menu C problems will give quite a few hits on the problems. Although perhaps they are now watering down what's on their website to match what's in the watered down MRE's.
Also see the following link to someone on another site who reported on the discrepancy between the site and the product actually received:

"As I mentioned before, I planned to inspect the contents of one full case and compare it to what was advertised. So I went to the product info page on MREdepot.com to print out the menu for comparison and found that they had changed the information some time after my first post in this thread. When I placed my order they advertise one menu set with "between 1350 and 1600 calories" (this is the link to the cached page). Now they estimate that each meal is between "1050 and 1500" calories. "
Note: the cached page in that message is now the newer page. But you can see the old information on a site that seems to resell them and still seems to be using the previous sales wording from the MREDEPOT site:
Each meal contains between 1350 to 1600 calories that are specifically formulated to fuel your body in high-stress situations like combat or survival. These MRE's are considered Menu ''C'' - there is no Menu A and Menu B in the C (C for Contract) Meals. These MRE Menus were cherry-picked by the Contractor to include the specific 2008 Menu Items that they wanted from Menu's A and B, as well as a lot of extra items and calories.

A word of advice, if you do order with them, I'd stick to a maximum of 2-4 cases at a time. And upon receipt, open each pack in at least one case to see what's in it. Order with a credit card as well. This way you will find the problem immediately and have recourse with your credit card company if something goes wrong and you get ignored by MREDEPOT (and like Mike said, even getting email advertisements by them while they are ignoring your requests at the same time). And do this every time you order with them assuming nothing is the same as it was before. In fact, it may be good to do this with other vendors as well until they prove themselves consistent over time of say a year or more.
