all i can say is that my trainer instructed me to eat them in the a.m. and he was a Mr. Universe. He said that they were digested better and that you didn't get the bloat you would get from oats.

Looks like cream of wheat to me, not suck thing as grits here in canada. If same as cream of wheat not as good as oats, but few less cals and fat but higher on GI index.

Made from corn so definately higher GI than oats
