Are you in Pre-Maintenance (5 lbs. from your goal weight)? If so, then you can have more carbs than the rest of us. You just have to figure out what your CCLM (critical carb level for mainenance) and dole out your carbs accordingly. As far as I can tell, the net carbs is 18 grams. (23 total carbs less fiber (5g) = 18 net carbs
But, be careful. Having 21 net carbs in a meal (cereal plus milk) can spike your blood sugar that in turn could increase your cravings. |
