grape nuts cereal a good carbs source?

[young guns]

judgin from the label it seems to be, good amount of fiber. but i wasn't sure what the GI of it was. anyone know?

It's not bad bro, but are you looking for fiber or the carbs. It is a better choice of cereal. Try Shredded Wheat, with out the sugar coded one.

plain old oatmeal is a great source of LOW GI CARBS.... and it is cheap...

i'm just looking for low GI carbs. I don't necessarily need alot more fiber, but it's always a plus.

i eat oatmeal everyday (for the most part) so I was looking for a change of pace.

If you want low GI carbs check out the list at http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm

It is amazingly comprahensive (even has the GI for Met-Rx!!)

You can download the xls file and then the carbs are colour coded so just go with what's green

Oats are the best but Kashi - GoLean cereal is good if your in a hurry. Quite a bit of fiber there.

Grape nuts are good, just calorie dense so serving sizes will seem small. As for Low GI cereals, I like Uncle Sam cereal, FiberOne, and shredded wheat myself.

i'd stick with low glycemic carbs unless you were to eat it post wokrout in which case pure glucose would be much better.

I used to do oatmeal, but now I'm hooked on Fiber One (tons of fiber, plus I love the texture). Does anyone see any negatives to this?

Not really, FiberOne does have aspartame and maltodextrin in small amounts but what matters is what your having with it. I use water in my Oats and Milk in my Fiberone, so Oats are a better choice for me. Sometimes I use a protein shake to sub for the milk in my cold cereals to cut down on the carbs.
