Since “sugars” is broken out as a subcategory of carbs but dietary fibre isn’t, it seems that the fibre is separate from the carbs… So how many grams of carbs are there in 100g of this stuff? Is it really only 29.2???
Yes. There are 29.2g (14.4 of which are sugars) - incidentally fibre doesn’t itself contain any calories it’s the macronutrients within it which contains the calories. However much fibre is in this product, I’d estimate that this product produces a fairly high insulin response, so I’d suggest saving it until post workout.
Regarding the insulin response - is that because of the sugars? If so, what would be a high-fibre food with low sugar that would work well for breakfast? Do any breakfast cereals fit the bill? Thanks.
The numbers you posted got me thinking and I did some searching. The 45 grams you posted doesn’t jive with the carbs. Usually you can take the total carbs and subtract the fiber and get Net carbs. There is energy in fiber but we can’t get it.
Cows, sheep and other ruminants can but our intestinal track is not designed to break it down. So the carbs should always be more than the fiber. I found a site that listed the fiber as 45%. Then I found a site that listed the fiber as 12.1 grams per 1/2 cup.
Do you count the carbs from fiber in the daily count when you use diets like T-Dawg 2.0? For example, if I have 1/2 c. fiber one (29 g. carbs…14 of them fiber) do I count it as 15 or as 29 g.?
it probably means 4.5 grams fiber in the serving. I’ve never seen 45 grams fiber ina 100 gram serving.
the person who recomended to eat this post workout because of the high insulin response is correct but i’d like to add that having a good insulin spike which includes the proper ratio of proteins and carbs in the morning after your fasted sleep phase is great for anabolism and the metabolism.
On a bulking phase the day after a late training session i would recomend this for breakfast. on a maintenance phase and on post non training days i would go with the oatmeal, and on fat loss phases i would go with fish and coconut oil. laters pk
