Bear Naked Granola: It's good

[Guest guest]

I bought this good granola mix at costco. It tastes good and it

seems healthy. Please tell me what you think. Do you think it's

BFL/EFL approved?

I'm planning to make this part of my evening meal. I'm so happy this

can be a little treat.

I figure this can be a good source of healthy fat.

First off I can see that it doesn't have enough protein. The fat also looks

a little high, but if you had low amounts of fat in the other meals, it's

fine. So you could always eat this as your carb portion, but find some

protein to add to it.

I think it sounds like a good carb portion for your meal. Watch your

portion size (I always find that these thigns are MUCH smaller in

volume than I think they are) but otherwise it has whole grains, nuts,

dried fruit...sure a little sugar added in, but I think it's not bad.

I know I know. This granola tastes so good. However, I think it has

ignited my sugar cravings. I'm ate it last night to complement my

strawberry protein shake as a last meal. But I think I will try

mixing it in some cottage cheese. I blend all my cottage cheese

though. I just can't stand the curds. UGGGHH

I discovered Fat Free Ricotta Cheese, made by Precious.

Any store that handles that brand should be able to request the Fat

Free version.

1/4 cup has;

60 calories

60 mg sodium

5g total carb

10g protein

I use 1/2 cup for a surving with either fruit, a whole grain, or a mix

of the two.

I still blend some cottage cheese in the blender with 1/4 cup water if

I want a creamy texture for a pasta sauce, etc.

But, mostly I have switched off cottage cheese and on to FF ricotta.

Those are both great carbohydrates if the granola is a low fat

homemade type.

Where's your protein for the meal?

That same company makes a high protein granola that is really good. It has a lot

of calories for only 1/4 cup. I had a hard time w/ portion control with it, so I

didn't buy it anymore. It's also really expensive!

That stuff is a staple in my weekly shopping list. I mix a little sweetener

into it and put some

blueberries on it or fresh strawberries or rasberries and never have a craving

for dessert.

Walnuts would be the source of protein.

The bag of walnuts from my shelf reads;

1/4 cup serving

Calories 210

Fat calories 180

Fiber 3g

Carbohydrate 3g

Protein 5g

I try to get about equal amounts of protein and carbs at each BFL meal.

I usually aim for around 20g of each give or take a bit. No big deal.

When I use walnuts, I just count a few as my healthy oil serving.

Something to think about.

[Guest guest]

Walnuts are counted as healthy fats, and very good ones at that. Dr Oz

(cardiologist) that appears on The Oprah show a lot says he eats a hand- full

faithfully. There's not enough protein in walnuts to count as a protein.

Yeah, it's hard to eat just 1/4 cup, but then I think about my goals

in order to help me stay firm. I bought the bag from Costco for

about $8.00. I never bought granola, but I figured since it was in

costco that it was a good buy.
