What I might have done, is cut it into tiny chips and use it to put tuna salad or chicken salad on.  That would have increased the nutritional value for me and I would have only eaten 1/4 or so of it.

It works for me protein wise (I don't like to spend more than 10 calories per protein gram until I have all of my protein planned for the day) and the fibre is great. I don't count carbs, so all that is left is taste and texture.

Fred would be fine texture wise IF it was toasted, so the 64 million dollar question is - what does it taste like? (I'll faint, then buy stock in the company if it tastes good)

So - yup, I'd be willing to at least taste it, but if it was nasty I'd probably spit it out and chuck the rest, like I did with the Flatout wraps I bought. Oh my gosh they were horrid!

I personally wouldn't eat it myself.  The reasons it would not be a personal choice in my own daily plan are:  1)  way too many carbs compared with the protein; 2)  during this weight loss phase I am purposely not eating anything bready, cakey, etc. because I think they could be trigger foods which could open the floodgates to bigger and worse things.  I just choose against potentially jeopardizing my weight loss and recovery by finding out.  That's just my own take on it.

Another reason I wouldn't personally eat it is that, based on the education I received preop, that could potentially be a difficult food to digest without drinking along with it, which is another problem in itself.

That's not a bad profile, depending upon the context in which it is used. It's not far off of the organic sprouted wheat bread that I used in sandwiches part way through my loss phase when I needed to add more complex carbs to the mix (somewhat lower in calories and protein, than what's posted, but I wasn't looking for its protein.) It wasn't any particular problem digesting it as part of a sandwich with other moistening components in it.

I am only 10 weeks out but I wouldn't eat it (not sure what it is), too high carb content for me to validate the calorie/protein amount.
