CarboLite Dark Chocolate Bars...

[Mindain]

240 cal, 19g fat, sat. fat 12g Carbs: They claim 0 but its becuase they take a total 27-3 for fiber and -22 for Malitol which is 0. Sugars 0, Malitol 22g. They are made with splenda.


Are these any better than a regular candy bar? It seems weird to me how they get the Carb Num. to 0. Anyone have any thoughts on these?

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, and does not immediately affect blood sugar when ingested. Here's a link to a thread on the diet forum that you might find helpful: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17095&highlight=maltitol

Rule of thumb with these bars: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
