Nutritional Data for Whole Grain Waffles

I calculated the nutritional value for the 1/4 waffle discussed in the previous post using the tools available on nutritiondata.com. As you can see, this 1/4 waffle is a healthy food that is equal to 1/2 carb and 1/2 fat in the Connolly Schoonen diet. On the right side of the figure I show what happens when, in addition, one adds 1 tablespoon of psillium dissolved in a glass of water and adds 1 teaspoon of sugar for coffee to the meal. This now equals a full carb, 1/2 of a fat, and lots of fiber. It provides a healthy basis for the addition of fruit and peanut butter or cottage cheese. Alternatively, 1/2 waffle would be equal to 1 carb and 1 fat, and could also serve as the basis for additional peanut butter or cottage cheese, but in lesser amounts.
