Is this a unfriendly food? I wasn't sure if it was considered a whole grain or not.

[tamara]

Yes this is an unfriendly food. You see it's got no energy and no fun to be around cause its all Puffed Out.

looks to be tolerable

[Zach]

There you go glitter, you answered your own question.

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

[glitter]

like rice crispies?

[Zach]

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.

[glitter]

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?

[Zach]

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.

Zach? is that really you and Dom or did Epoman do his "magic" like he did with my "family picture" lol,  If it is, how and when did you meet him, i'd love to hear about it, and how many other "big name celebrities" do you know?  Come on down to Off Topic and let us know, please 

[Zach]

Zach? is that really you and Dom?

The real deal.

[BigSky]

Closest I get to puffed wheat is Super Sugar Crisp or Golden Crisp as it is called now.

[Zach]

Then there was Sugar Smacks ...

[kitkatz]

There is Corn Pops, too

[glitter]

I didn't want to admit it was golden bear lol-that and honey smacks are pretty good with just a little water..

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