What's a clean calorie?
No/very low fats and NO sugars- simple carbs. ie breads, other starchy foods and the obvious plain 'ol sugar.

I'm lost - doesn't sugar have sugar in it?

I think I see the problem - you meant that first dash as a slash and that period as a comma.

You got it, or at least used an equal sign for the hyphen. I should have read it myself first.

Hate to say it, but starch doesn't qualify as a simple sugar. Simple sugars are sucrose, glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, etc. I'd say it stops at dimers. Starch is definitely a long polymer. Easier to digest into simple sugars than, say, chitin, but...

I bet Ken's the kind of guy who lets a Saltine cracker sit in his mouth until his saliva breaks down all the starches into simple sugars, then says, "Mmmm, sweet!"

Don't hate to say when you're right. I should have been more specific and said simple carbs and starches, but I lump them together as they essentially end up doing the same thing within the body.

But, I adore simple carbs! I'm seriously not sure I see the sense in living if I have to give up potatoes, rice and bread.

See, Tom, that's how I feel about cheese! I'd rather go the rest of my life without rice if it means that I can eat cheese and still fit into my skinny jeans \:\) Life without cheese seems cold and cruel to me. Now, to fit cheese into the 200 calorie mini meal . . . not sure how to manage that \:\(

Chacun a son goût I guess!
