This week it is all about Ice cream, after all
July is National Ice cream Month. Check out all our
Reviews of Ice cream of the low fat variety of course.
Try a flavor you haven't tried before.
Nutritionally, this is very good. Unfortunately, this doesn't make up for the lackluster taste. There are only 100 calories per 3/4 cup serving, or 125 calories per cup of cereal (add 40 calories for half a cup of skim milk). There 's not much fat (3 grams total, 0.5 grams saturated), 5 grams of fiber or 20% of daily recommendations - excellent - and only 2 grams of sugar. There are 20-35% of many vitamins and minerals, and 9 grams of net carbs. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across any cereals with great taste aimed towards low carbers.

Special K cereal "for a low carb lifestyle" is made up of "lightly sweetened wheat, soy and rice flakes"; and they do mean very lightly sweetened, with only 2 grams of sugar per 3/4 cup serving. From the

Strangely enough, I absolutely love this cereal. I love it so much that I went on a diet for a week eating nothing but this and fat free milk, and I lose six pounds. I've never tried the other varieties of Special K, however.
