Title: puffed wheat
Post by: glitter on January 05, 2007, 12:02:30 PM
Is this a unfriendly food? I wasn't sure if it was considered a whole grain or not.

There you go glitter, you answered your own question. :thumbup;

If you don't mind, puffed rice might be a good alternative.   ;)

like rice crispies?
Title: Re: puffed wheat
Post by: Zach on January 05, 2007, 07:39:58 PM
Nope, puffed up ... they're white and puffed up.  Quaker's brand is made by the process of "gun puffing."  Rice crispies are puffed too, but in the same way as you make popcorn.

thanks-i have never tried them-,and by the way-those little meals you eat-how many a day do you eat-4 or 5?
Title: Re: puffed wheat
Post by: Zach on January 05, 2007, 09:21:47 PM
Five meals ... three full meals and two snacks (protein bars).  Remember, you can always add more rice, noodles (no yolk) or pasta to the meals.

Exactly!  No milk needed, therefore, less phosphorus. But puffed rice is still one of the lowest.
