QuestionI currently use this as an ingredient in my baking.
The nutrition facts on the product are listed for your review.
My question is, I don't believe it is possible for this to have no calorie count at all.
One cup weighs 56 grams. Can you please advise approximately how many calories my be in a cup?
I appreciate your expertise.

AnswerHi Ember, This Oat Fiber is insoluble, meaning the body allows it to pass through without digesting it. The body can't really break it down, so it can't absorb it either, so there are no calories.
