Used for: Comparing packaged foods like energy bars and cereals
Praised: Balances whole vs refined grains; better than focusing on sugar alone
vs: Focusing on sugar alone can be misleading
"As a general rule, and we've published on this that it works pretty well, look for at least one gram of fiber for every 10 grams of carbohydrate. That's a 10:1 ratio... If you can get a ratio to 5:1 or 4:1, it's even better."
