Product Description
Fiber your kids will eat! Each easy-to-prepare dinner box comes with a tasty, tangy cheddar cheese packet, just like those Kraft blue boxes but without the artificial colors and flavors! And since it's FiberGourmet you know it's the world's healthiest mac & cheese: high in fiber (18g per serving!), and low in calories. According to data collected by the USDA Continuing Survey of Food Intake, only 12% of children consume their Daily Reference Value (DRV) of fiber each day. Give them the fiber they need, without the fight over broccoli. Our Mac & Cheese tastes just like the usual version your kids love, but it also secretly supplies them with 70-100% of their daily fiber! Make the choice that makes both you and your kids happy: FiberGourmet.FiberGourmet is a truly revolutionary product: the first and only "light" pasta in the world. While standard pasta has 210 calories in each serving, our has only 130. Thats 40% FEWER CALORIES! The secret lies in our unique, patent-pending technology, which allows us too add large amounts of fiber without ruining the taste and texture of the food. So while our pasta provides 72% of your Daily Value of fiber in each serving (ten times more than standard pasta), it tastes virtually identical. Your kids wont be able to tell the difference! FiberGourmet - dedicated to creating reduced-calorie, high-fiber products that taste good and are good for you.

Not very cheesy, but nice texture and VERY filling with tons of fiber November 15, 2008
I used FiberGourmet fettucine during my losing phase last year (I've pretty much been maintaining, but I need to get back to LOSING weight). It was a serviceable pasta that, while not exactly like regular pasta, and certainly not as nice as Dreamfield's lower-carb pasta, lets a dieter have the pleasure of pasta-ey-ness with fewer calories and a lot of filling fiber. A lot of fiber. Look at the stats on it.
Each box has 3 servings and each serving of this mac-n-cheese product has 18 grams of fiber and 170 cals. I had about half for supper tonight, which was 255 cals and 27 grams of fiber. All of a day's recommended minimum fiber intake in one sitting. Not bad.
However, because it wasn't nearly cheesy enough for me, I used some sharp cheddar on top. So, my whole dinner (sans the mango and broccoli) came to about 350 cals. For a dieter, not bad at all.
I do recommend that cheesy-enthusiasts add some of the 2% sharp cheddar, shredded, for extra protein, calcium and flavor.
But I give the product 4 stars for convenience, adequate flavor, pleasant texture (I prefer teh lower end of cooking time to keep it firmish), and high fiber. If they'd make it cheesier, I might go to five.
A dieter's version of a classic American comfort food. :)
