I NEED THIS! Their partly cloudy pint is one of my FAVORITES but I can’t get it because I wind up eating the entire thing and blowing all my calories on it!!!! Normally I don’t like ice cream novelties as much but this looks like the best ice cream bar I have ever seen.... and hopefully I’ll be able to portion control with it much better!4 -

Enlightened is so phenominally creamy and delicious. I’m thrilled. There are a couple more stores in my area that allegedly carry it, so I’m going hunting for more flavors soon!
If you live near a Sprouts, they usually have a good selection! Market Street carries them as well. I always choose Enlightened over Halo Top nowadays, their flavors are better imo.2 -
Just tried the new Quest Pepperoni Pizza- on a true pizza scale it's about a C-, on a low carb pizza scale about a B.3

Frankly, I'm terrified of the amount of fiber in a whole Quest pizza. And i KNOW i'd want to eat the whole thing.3

I went to Walmart and bought these chocolate lava cakes. 10/10 absolutely delicious! However, they’re 330 calories and smaller than the chocolate e’toiles from Chatila’s Bakery! I guess that’s what an e’toile is, just a fancy name for chocolate lava cake because it’s absolutely identical. Same wrapping around the cake, same cook time in microwave to get to that desired temperature, and same cake/chocolate ganache combination! The only difference is the Chatila’s “lava cakes” (e’toiles) are way less calories and actually have a little more chocolate ganache to cake ratio.

I'm very impressed with this today.

It is Chilly Cow Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. 190 calories for 8 oz and that includes 10 g protein. I found it at my local Wal-Mart today.

In case you're wondering: Chilly Cow is actually owned by the same company as Blue Bunny, which explains why they have such wide distribution (Walmart, Target, etc.).

And on the contrary, Sweet Habit is a Nestle-owned brand.2

Isn’t skinny cow also owned by Nestle?
Why the heck can Nestle get the texture perfect with skinny cow but not sweet habit?? Sweet habit is like a brick trying to eat!1 -

Technically Sweet Habit is a brand from a startup within Nestle's accelerator program called Foundry Foods. So they most likely have a different production process. 2 -

Any info if Blue Bunny will release Holidoodle this year?1 -

Frankly, I'm terrified of the amount of fiber in a whole Quest pizza. And i KNOW i'd want to eat the whole thing.
I was terrified to learn the amount of fiber in two servings of the ThinSlimFoods Impastable Pasta was 72g, and that my total fiber consumption yesterday was 120g... but here I am... completely normal! I guess my body built up a HIGH tolerance for fiber! But Lord help me if I have as little as 10g of erythritol, I’ll be gassy all day! I really shouldn’t eat those low calorie ice cream pints, they make me smell awful, but I still do! I just make sure I only eat them at night after I’m done with all my important social interactions for the day ;p3 -

I don't really add ketchup to many things, but this was delicious on top of steamed broccoli and sandwiches. I loved the subtle sweetness and honey flavor. I am not a huge ketchup fan to begin with, but really liked this kind better. I could taste the difference from regular ketchup. It was much sweeter.
I wouldn't buy it for the "reduced sugar" claim though, lol.3 -

These are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE WRAPS!!! I eat 1-2 a day. I wish my stores carried the rye, but they only carry sourdough, everything and pumpernickel. My favorite is pumpernickel for savory things and sourdough for making sweet wraps, tacos, etc. Ah, who am I kidding they are all good with everything.
They used to break easily when you tried to wrap things but I have noticed in the past 8 months or so, the formula a bit and the packaging steps (allowing them to cool fully before packaging so they don't stick together).
They used to stick together in the packs and it would annoy me I would only get 1 usable one when they aren't cheap! They are now way more pliable and I NEVER have the sticking together issue. Have you noticed this change too? I was really happy about it. The sourdough is so pliable now and stretchy I noticed.1 -

Regarding food labeling standards and fiber: the FDA is currently reviewing all soluble fiber sources like those found in Quest products, diet ice creams (Halo Top, etc), Fiber One products, yogurts, etc. Basically any product with fiber added that wouldn't typically have fiber. They're analyzing how each source affects the body and whether or not these company's can claim it as an accurate source of fiber, which affects net carbs and the total calorie count, of course. So, for example, a Quest Pizza has approx 18g of fiber per serving and 6g net carbs as it stands. But depending on what the FDA mandates, they may not be able to count the fiber source as "true" which would really impact everything they advertise (net carbs) and would dramatically increase the advertised calorie count. Same goes for these other company's. They'd have to label the total calories based on the true carb count. There's still a lot up in the air, but this is why I track macros and don't track net carbs lol.
BUT simply put, even with the 18g of fiber, it probably won't affect you the same way 18g of fiber from, say, fruits and vegetables would.5 -

I always thought they should do this. I find I always gain weight eating too many of the foods they count that way. I don’t know if I believe that having fiber impairs digestion of the carbs. If that were the case couldn’t I just add a bunch of added fiber to every meal and then not count the carbs ?3 -
These were delicious ! Nice and crispy. The chocolate ones were my favorite. Did anyone else get them from when I posted the samples ?

That’s a little confusing to me, I thought they used like a bomb calorimeter or something to heat up the food and determine the calories. So really they just manually calculate it based off fat, carbs-fiber, and protein? I know there’s a difference between soluble and insoluble fiber (not too sure of it though). Are you saying some of these diet products might be more calories than their labels suggest, or are they really low calorie but the fda will make them market them as being higher calories?
Personally I have never noticed any weight gain from ThinSlim Foods. Unfortunately, some of my other favorite low calorie products like Simply Scrumptous and The Dough Bar doughnuts do make me put on weight if I continue eating them long enough.0 -
Finally got to try the sweet earth pizza. @hgycta mentioned the protein lovers was vegan but it has cheese so I think you meant vegetarian right ? I got the veggie one.
Pretty good. It was crisp and I loved all the veggies. I thought was weird to have corn but It added a nice sweetness. I did think it was a bit boring though. I ended up adding hot sauce and onion powder.it could have used more cheese. I wouldn’t consider it like a pizza, but more of a veggie flatbread.

The problem really is that you'd have to eat a lot of those things, record every gram, have the same activity level every day, and weigh yourself every day, to be able to tell if you're gaining weight from those or not.0

Yeah, I wasn’t saying for sure just saying I’ve noticed. Since I stopped eating so many (4-5) quest bars a day I’ve had to increase my calories to maintain. But again could be something else at play. But if the fiber really doesn't exactly "negate" the carb calories as they advertise, that would be a few hundred calories less a day and make sense. Although I know this is not evidence at all, lol just my own personal observation.1 -

Correct — many of the products that contain these fibers contain more calories than advertised. Now, the macros are correct or else it would be illegal.
But take a Quest Bar for example:
180 calories:
-8 fat
-20 protein
-23 carbs (4 net carbs due to soluble fiber)
So really there are approx. 240-250 calories in a bar [(8*9)+(43*4)] = 244. But because of the 4g net carbs they can say 180. [(8*9)+(24*4)]=168.
Same goes for Halo Top. They advertise 320-360 per pint based off the net carbs, but really there are upwards of 500 in a pint. Based on the macros
The FDA is examining whether they can continue advertising these as low calorie based on net carbs due to these fibers.
But, it’s like people say. You would need to eat a lot of these products for it to make the difference count.1
