Quest Hero - 4 Net Carbs?


#1

I’ve had a box of these in the cabinet for a while for quick meal replacement and today they are just looking SO GOOD. The box says “only 4 net carbs!” but when I look at the ingredients I get more like 16 net carbs. (27 carbs, 11 fiber).

Any idea how they’re getting away with advertising 4 net carbs? What am I missing?

Anyway, I decided to treat myself and allow 1/2 of the bar. Yuck - too sweet! I never in my life thought I’d say those words!

They probably also subtracted sugar alcohols

If you can, tale a blood sugar reading before eating one then 1 hour after to see how it affects it.

I am planning on buying these but I was unable to find them locally.

Sugar alcohols.

Quest bars kick me out of ketosis though, and I don’t normally have any issues with sugar alcohols.

I’ll be curious to see if I’m knocked out of ketosis now… if I am, I guess I’ll know the culprit because I’ve eaten very ketogenically all the rest of the day.

Next time I have one I’ll take my glucose readings before and after but I don’t think it will be any time soon. I got mine on Amazon if you’re still looking for them.
