[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2054990, member: 400972"] Sorry been out all day, but answering your query about Carb Killa bars, I carry one in my handbag for an occasional emergency treat at a coffee shops with friends or family when they are all tucking into cakes or cookies. The carb count looks high but when you’ve subtracted the polyols (sugar alcohols which are neither sugar or alcohol!) which most people don’t absorb you end up with ‘impact carbs’. These are quoted on the front of the packet of flavours with lower impact carbs for example the Jaffa Quake one is 2g impact carbs. However I’ve noticed some of the newer flavours, the raspberry one in particular don’t have impact carbs on the front but if you work it out from the info on the back it’s around 7g net carbs so not so good. I tolerate them with no rise to my blood sugars but some people don’t, so you just need to test yourself to be sure. I suppose if you buy a box and don’t do well with them you can always give them to you daughter ;) [/QUOTE]
