It would appear that they are selling people what they want, rather than trying to limit the choice to purely healthy.

Maybe they're not fully educated in nutrition and just want to corner a niche market.

I wouldn't have thought flapjack was an ideal choice, but perhaps they aim at a cross section, including very active people who need to pile on carbs and calories to keep going. Most of us don't need to add to our main meals.

They do actually have the carb counts in the actual packs, just not on the website (not sure they they don't have them on the website).

Also, by "bin", they don't mean throw the unwanted ones out when they get them 😱 , they are referring to the process by which you rate the products before they get sent - you label things as "bin" if you don't want them and then they never send you them. 🙂

In terms of low carb things, they do quite a lot of nut and seed type things, which I've always found to be quite low in carbs, are those not an option? There's nothing to stop you trying a box for free and then seeing what you think. 🙂

Thanks for clarifying Ange 🙂
 
I emailed them regarding nutritional information and now when I look at a food on the website the nutritional info is on the top left hand corner of the picture. I have managed to sort some delicious foods out based on calories and sugar content.

I had a beautiful pack of seeds etc the other day that would have cost me ?2.80 at my local club - almost the price of a whole graze box.

They are extremely friendly and efficient when emailing.

I have just emailed to see if its easy for them to state which are low gi.🙂
 
Oh dear, you got me into them too! I had my first one last week. I used the code in the very first thread and got my first box free and will get my
5th box free. In mine I got:

Honeycomb Crunch (Carbs 19.2, of which sugars 18g) very yummy
Fruit Sangria (Carbs 25.3g, of which sugars 22.7g) also very yummy
Mississippi bbq pistachios (Carbs 2.7g of which sugars 1.7g) nice enough
Apple and Cinnamon Flapjacks (Carbs 30.3g of which sugars 15.2g) lovely

The leaflet in the box outlines all the nutritional info for everything in your box.

If you go through the list on their website you can discard items completely, so if you really want to avoid the high sugar items that is the way to go. The only problem for me is that all the things they sell are 'my type of thing' rather than crisps, chocolate and cheese, so I found it very hard to resist and between me, my husband and son the whole box was empty within a couple of hours - oops! Oh well, roll on next Friday!!!
 
Seriously there good, good food and great custumer services i have sent them 2 emails now and both were replied to in 24 hours, I mean come on your getting a box for free if you use the code I put on this thread,so if your not happy cancel it with no problems.As I said the carbs,sugars etc etc contained in your 4 food items you get do come inside the box on a booklet.
Dont knock it till you try them!!🙄
 
I had the free one and the half price one then cancelled with no problems at all. They sent a confirmation email giving the web link if I decide in the future to start having them again. You can also opt to have just a one-off box. Just what I like ... no hassle.
