Oh wait- is this what you read? (from allegro medical site):
<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Boost Plus is now available in Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry flavors. The Boost Plus Nutritional Drink supplies 14 grams of high-quality protein and 360 Calories per 8 oz serving, offering balanced vitamin and mineral levels for the special needs of stressed patients. <b>At least 100% of the Daily Value for vitamins and minerals are provided in 1800 Calories (five 8-oz servings) with Boost Plus. </b>The Boost Plus Drink also has added ultra-trace minerals chromium, selenium, and molybdenum.</end quote></div>

Yep, same thing- except one says 4, and the other says 5? (???)...
Sorry I keep reposting, but I know my links will mess up if I edit! And sorry that I am searching like a fiend about this, lol, but I had looked and looked for something better than the powdered stuff that I ended up getting from cf services (and wow, the price for that stuff, whatever it was) when I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and I was wondering how I missed 1800 calories in a can <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> !
I hope you find something you like. I liked the no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast, if they still make it (I hope they do!). It was cheaper too, but I don't remember the calorie content.<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.carnationinstantbreakfast.com/Products/FAQ.aspx">Instant breakfast FAQ</a>
Okay, found it:
Calories Total 70, 12 carbs and no fat- without milk added.
Whole milk:
Calories 149
Calories from Fat 72
..................................................% Daily Value*
Total Fat............. .........8.0g.....................12%
Saturated Fat ...............5.1g....................26%
Polyunsaturated Fat ......0.2g
Monounsaturated Fat.... 2.2g
Cholesterol................ 32mg....................11%
Sodium.................... 113mg.....................5%
Total Carbohydrates.. 11.4g.....................4%
Sugars .......................11.4g
Protein......................... 8.5g
So that would be:
........................ CIB+wholemilk=
......................... 70+149= <b>239 calories</b>
..........................12+ 11.4= <b>23.4 carbs</b> (8+11.4=<b>19.4 sugar) </b>
............................5+ 8.5= <b>13.5 protein</b>
for the Sugar free Instant Breakfast mixed with whole milk.
And... <b>190 calories, 16 carbs (4 sugars), and 16 g protein </b>for the Boost Glucose Control.
Boost Plus <b>360 calories, 45 carbs( 20 sugars), 14 g protein</b>
At NexTag, 8 packages of SF Instant B'fast (vanilla) is @ $5.49 (but still have to add milk),, so adding about $2.20 for a half a gallon of whole milk (assuming you buy it by the cheaper "by gallon" price) makes it........$7.69 for 8 servings
Boost Plus @$28 for 24 8 oz cans, so... @ $9.34 for 8 servings
Okay, I'm done! I think my brain needed something to do- that was fun- lol!
