As far as I can tell from their website, the primary ingredient is
inulin which is some sort of (mostly) indigestible starch. (Note:
I've seen this ingredient in a lot of food bar ingredient lists.)
Apparently they've done glycemic index type testing and that's the
value of 5 digestible carbs per 2oz portion they report on the box.
For some reason consuming indigestible starch reminds me of adding
sawdust to sausages from Upton Sinclair's _The Jungle_.
Personally I wouldn't use it on my down-cycle days as I prefer to
avoid grains entirely. Give it a try and see how you feel if you're
more wedded to pasta, hopefully it won't cause massive digestive
problems. If it's not what they claim, you'll find hormonal hunger
creeping back up which is a better indicator to me than nutrition data
on a box.
