I don't think this belongs in the southbeach diet

Remember: the South Beach diet Phase I key to success is reduction of sugars. If the average 1,500-calorie maintenance diet allows 300 grams of sugars, certainly keeping sugar input from noodles to a 7.77-gram per serving limit is not that harmful.

change the macaroni to whole wheat pasta, the flour to whole wheat flour, and the cheese to lower fat version and it sounds like it could fit in Phase 2.

6 points a serving, about the same as the lean cuisine...but it begs the question of how much would the calorie and fat numbers drop and the fiber number rise if you used whole wheat and low-fat products...
