RE: Hot chocolate (to much ?)

>>>It has 7 grams of sugar and 10 Carbohydrates. Is this to much?<<<

Everyone is different but that for me is WAY to much for a whole meal much

less just something to drink. I don't count calories and all that jazz (no

time or patience to do so) so I have a simple rule that makes it easier for

myself to " watch " what I eat / drink -- my personal rule is no more than 9

grams combined of sugar/carbs.. broken down nothing with more than 4 grams

of sugar EVER and nothing with more than 9 grams of Carbs and if it has

" both " sugar and carbs then together they can not equal more than 9 per

meal. Plus the nothing white rule. (milk would fall in the white rule)

I know it is simplistic but that's what works for me... Keep it simple

~smile~ I don't have the time or the personality to sit and " count out "

daily intake.

I have had the diet hot cocoa when I had my dental work done for a warm

liquid and it counted as a meal since I was really NOT hungry and couldn't

do food anyway and I added ProCel in it for the protein -- but that was

under special circumstances.

That's just me... others do it differently and there are probably many ways

to do it right but for me -- that's WAY over the top of acceptable.

Just an FYI sugar is a carbohydrate. Most carbohydrates convert to

sugar. It's just that the sugar listed on the label is already in sugar

form.
