. The sweetener in Quest bars is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomaltooligosaccharide
I think people might be interested in the results from this group of low carbing diabetics ( personally, I wouldn't myself put the blame on 'fibre' per se so much as this manufactured product ingredient. I think it is very different when it is found in it's natural form as part of a plant structure There is a lot of inulin ie the natural form of this fibre in endives , Jerusalem artichokes and radicchio 'lettuce')
There is a follow up to the video with an interview with the manufacturer here:

There's only about 7g of digestible carbs in 100g of walnuts - 100g is a lot to eat in one go, too - so a snack on 30g (roughly a handful) is only about 2g carbs and 200 calories. Tuna is carb-free as are most other canned fish (but not the ones with sauces).

Nice if you like walnut, yukky!!!
This thread is handy for newbies to give a better idea of what's good. Plus the veterans may find things they haven't had before.
You're welcome. They're also great with Bolognese etc. I bought a pack of 20 from Groupon for £29.99, one pack serves 2 ( unless you have huge portions) so very reasonable.
I finally got around to getting some of these and had bare naked rice in a nice hot chilli last night. They smell a bit weird before cooking but tasted fine and a brilliant way to have the bulk of rice in a meal without the carbs. Thanks again for the link
