[pengers84]

Are grits whats on the outside of a roast?

 

[bigss75]

I think there ground up corn, their ususaly a breakfast meal but some put gravy, syrup, cheese, etc.

 

[Martinogdenbsx]

they are complex carbohydrates so yeah they are fine for adding protein veggies and EFA's you got a good meal

The unknown carb is grits apparently

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Ronnie eats em everyday so it must be good

[Martinogdenbsx]

[bigss75]

They have a GI of 75 if anyone is interested

 

[largepkg]

They have a GI of 75 if anyone is interesting

I can be interesting but I don't think grits having a GI of 75 is.

 

[assassin]

75 is considered high???

 

[Flakko]

And let me see your Griiiits!!!

 

[bigss75]

75 is considered high???

70 and up is considered high but you throw in some eggs or what not the net GI would come down

 

[Martinogdenbsx]

good for post workout then

 

[bigss75]

Not neccesarly because it being in the lower part of the HIGH GI tier. Dextrose is far superior to grits when it comes to post workout meals

 

[Martinogdenbsx]

yeah very true i was just suggesintg due to their high GI (not neccessarily HIGH RANGE OF HIGH GI FOODS) that they could be used post workout,didn't suggest they were the best

 

[Pedigree]

They're made from the milling of corn kernels and they are awesome.
I grew up in the South, and everyone eats them down there.

I mix them with eggs made over-easy and top whole wheat toast with the mixture. Good stuff.

 

[bigss75]

I never tried them with eggs like you and ronnie do. Ive always gone syrup and they are pretty good

Shrimp & Grits are a Charleston tradition! Awesome stuff, but not the disgusting instant kind. The yellow stone ground kind are definitely the best.
