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)
