"They are lower in fat but you tend to eat more."
I don’t buy this.
"They are lower in fat but you tend to eat more."
It’s not exactly true. The carbs are the same, but a good chunk becomes resistant starch, a crystalline fibre that is good for the gut and its flora. It also is partially indigestible, hence the “half the carbs” claim.
Take it with a grain of salt, and maybe a dash of vinegar. Keep the carbs low - you DON’T get to eat as much as you want. Not if you wish to remain healthy for a while.
