cereal?

  • I'm sorry if this has been covered before. I did a search and didn't find anything, but maybe I missed it.

    I bought a box of Kashi 7 whole grain flakes the other day. Looking at the label, I am not sure if they are SB "legal"

    They have 41 g total carbohydrate, 6 g fiber, 4 g sugars and 31 g other carbohydrate. That is a lot of carbohydrates, isn't it? I used to eat Fiber 1 last time around, but I remembered them having artificial sweetener and since I use so much splenda already(including on top of my cereal!) I was trying to avoid that being IN the cereal as well.

    Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?

    Here are the ingredients...

    Kashi seven whole grains& sesame blend (whole:hard red wheat, oats, brown rice, triticale, rye, barley, buckwheat, sesame seeds) long grain white rice, evaporated cane juice, wheat bran, barley malt syrup, oat fiber, brown rice syrup, salt
  • Sadly, this has added sugars (THREE kinds: evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup and barley malt syrup) AND white rice so it's not South Beach Diet-compliant ...

    I hate with otherwise healthy things have added sugar! This happens a lot with whole wheat bread.

    I used to eat Uncle Sam (original) cereal - no sugar added. I think there are others listed on the Phase II foods list (in the Sticky section)
  • I thought so. Thanks!
