Really? I've got sainsburys organic crunchy and it's only 10 grams per 100, which is almost half a jar. remember, it's low GI carbs as well.tangram said:Peanut butter, well sainsburys crunchy is 2.5 per tablespoon !!

They're not that bad Camilla. All bran is only 48 grams per 100. Shredded wheat and most others around 70. Although fruit has fructose, berries are low GI and if they replace the same weight of cereal, they REDUCE the overall carb count as the fruit has less carbs per 100 than the cereal. Milk is only 5 grams carbs per 100 mls and is low GICamilla said:Neither. All cold cereals are extremely high in carbohydrate, never mind the fibre content. Take a close look at the label - all will be at 85% or more carb content. For me they are on my completely 'no way' list. The other thing is that the milk you add to them contains carbs as its number 1 ingredient. If they contain dried fruits that means fast acting fructose too. Truly bad news on every front.

Certainly, some can't tolerate cereal, but others tolerate it very well.
I'm lucky, I can eat cereal with no problems. Real solution is to try then test
You might be surprised by how quick eggs can be. I can cook scrambled eggs in 5 minutes. I eat them straight from the pan, lovely and hot with a bit of melted cheese, and sometimes a handful of berries on top. If you keep a little pan specially for this purpose, the washing up is a simple too, just a quick swish and wipe under the tap. Couldn't be simpler really.chocoholicnomore said:I need something quick and easy for work days. Was thinking maybe some wheat crackers (2.7g carbs each) with cheese. I don't enjoy yoghurts. Omelette is ok but takes time to make. Suppose I could get up a bit earlier
