Raisins?

[oneovercabin]

Good? Bad? Either way, I'm addicted to these things. I get a craving for them and I just want to eat tons of them. I suppose it could be worse, but I'm wondering how good/bad they are as a part of my diet.

Account for them in your calories.

Concentrated sugar basically.

[tucker01]

[tucker01]

Raisen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What's a F***?

 

[biggfly]

That's pretty good.

Check this out, I've got a little box of raisins here. And the nutritional facts are as follows:

Total Fat 0g
Saturated Fat 0g
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 0mg
Sodium 0mg
Potassium 260mg
Total Carb 27g
Dietary Fiber 1g
Sugars 25g
Protein 1g

I wonder where the 4 cals from the gram of protein is going... I see how 27g of carbs gets knocked down to 100cals from 110 because of the fiber... but where's the protein going? haha

Yeah so it's obvious Iain is right it's pure sugar. Delicious though.

Speaking of raisins, I put regular raisins, golden raisins, and craisins in my oatmeal and grind a cinnamon stick onto it..... DELICIOUS

EDIT: post #800! congratulations to me for talking a lot

TTT

Ok I bought some boxes of raisins. Theyre all sugar! Is this ok?

 

[P-funk]

no, don't eat them. they will make you fat as shit.

 

[AKIRA]

Im just wondering where they are on the glycemic index.

 

[P-funk]

who cares? the glycemic index is stupid.

 

[workhard1]

no, don't eat them. they will make you fat as shit.

truer words have never been spoken

 

[Merkaba]

This is a funny thread.

 

[AKIRA]

who cares? the glycemic index is stupid.

Its a number. Just like BMI is a number, yet flawed.

 

[tucker01]

GI has little to no value when you consume a meal.

The GI will be influenced by the other foods that are consumed during a meal.

Its a number. Just like BMI is a number, yet flawed.

ok

I can't stand raisins by themselves, I usually mix with with some nuts.

 

[jk7761]

I too mix 1/8 cup into my morning oatmeal.

The sweetness allows me to do away with any other sweetener.
Plus I feel it is a better sugar than juice.

As stated, just account for it and eat in moderation.

I eat a few grapes during workouts, the natural sugars keep me going and burn much slower than sugars in drink form (so I've been told by a nutritionist).
