GI of cheerios

I myself like either the apple cinnamon or the multi grain...bought the colored fruit loop kind but have yet to try it.
 
BWAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!

I usually eat them about an hour pre workout, or PWO with a shake. I don't know the GI, but I'll eat them before I eat oatmeal after a workout.
 
Only because milk is a low GI carb... it is not lowering the GI of the cherroes bro, it is averaging the GI of the mixture.

I see, I was under the impression that the milk slowed the digestion, and thus lowered the GI. Good to know
 
Not really. Keep in mind the GI is based on 50g of carbs from a given food/mixture. If you take a carb with a GI of 30 and a carb with a GI of 100 and mix them in equal shares, the GI of the final mixture would be around 65. By adding the milk you are adding to what already exists, but are not removing the insulin response or raise in blood sugar of what is already there. Whole milk might be an except and fat can slighly reduce the absorbsion rate of a carb, thus lowing the GI, but you are not going to turn a high GI carb into a low one simply by adding fat to it.
