You listed 28 gm of carbs, they listed 24 with dietary fiber as 5 g. Pat, I copied the information from their web site. I don't recall the flavor, though. Susan Yeah, it comes in 3 flavors. IIRC, the flavor listed on the website was the one with raisins...Another one has strawberries. Pat |

This reminds me: my grocery store just started carrying almond crackers and other kinds of nut crackers. I forget the brand, but I was excited at first until I looked at the label and saw they're pretty high in carbs. I think you can get whole-grain crackers that are lower, but I suppose these could be useful for someone with poor grain tolerance. I'll have to look again and read the ingredients. -- Aaron -- 285/235/200 -- aaron.baugher.biz |

I think you're right over the long haul, and I know you've been at it
for years. Cheri Glassman@work wrote in message ... A little variety makes for a more interesting life for me. Nothing wrong with an occasional LC treat or a bowl of LC cereal now & then. -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
