You know I had never had them before. I tasted them a few wks ago with some sugar and it was really good.

Is it high in Protein?

What are grits? I'm an Ausie and if we have grits they are called something different and i hear about them all the time.

Please take it easy on the grits :thumbup: High carb content (It's ground corn)

ewww with sugar?? no, no, no. you eat them with butter & a pinch of salt. Or maybe some cheese or red-eye gravy.

To the Aussie: do you have Polenta down-under? It's the same thing.

As another poster said, do take it easy with grits, they're not weight loss friendly, they're ground corn and corn is a high glycemic food (ie, it tends to spike your blood sugar and then when the bld sugar levels drop.. you get hungry again faster).

In general, grits are not high Protein. However, if you add some cheese (preferably 2% or even lower fat), then you will get some protein.

Pre-banding I LOVED my grits. Nothing better with eggs & sausage in the morning..or with fried catfish at night. Now I rarely eat them. They are a treat rather than an everyday food.< /p>

Here's some info on a brand I sometimes buy. If I'm gonna indulge, I want the good stuff. :thumbup: With cool weather coming on, it might be time to have a little. I think it's been 6 months or more since I had any.

I LOVE grits; however, they're now hit or miss. I've had some of my worst stuck episodes trying to eat grits.

I use to eat malt-o-meal. I don't know if I can eat it any more. I'm scared to try when I'm able to eat again that is. I really loved couscous but found that it's a big carb, so I switched to quinoa and it has more Protein. Approx 5g protein for 1/4 cup. Not a lot but it's better than a total carb.
