Carbs and Fiber in Cracked Wheat Muffin Food Item: Cracked Wheat Muffin Cracked Wheat Muffin and DietNot permitted on lower carb diets, muffins (like Cracked Wheat Muffin) are typically calorie-dense foods with little dietary fiber or nutrition. Moreover, some muffins are high in refined white flour (refined carbs), therefore high on the Glycemic Index, which means they can cause a rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, leading to excessive insulin production and a sudden drop in blood sugar. The longer-term health effects of eating high-GI foods include obesity and other symptoms, known collectively as insulin resistance syndrome. Increased risk of diabetes is another possibility. See also Diabesity and Insulin Resistance. Bottom line: if you want to lose weight and stay healthy, keep your intake of muffins and other refined white-flour carbs to a minimum. And if you must eat a muffin, choose one made with whole wheat or wholegrain flour. For more details about carbs in muffins, see below. Note: Nutritional values in muffins and similar refined white flour bread-snacks can vary, so the above carbohydrate details for Cracked Wheat Muffin are intended as a guideline only. |
