sugar in a total amount from 0 to 30% w/w of the nutritional composition; when the sugar is present, added sugar with low glycemic index in an amount from 1 to 30% w/w of the nutritional composition; dietary fiber in an amount from 1 to 25% w/w of the nutritional composition; added fiber in an amount from 1 to 20% w/w of the nutritional composition; legume in an amount from 1 to 40% w/w of the nutritional composition; and fruit in an amount from 1 to 25% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1 further comprising fat in an amount from 8 to 20% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the added sugar with the low glycemic index is selected from the group consisting of sucrose, lactose, isomaltulose, galactose, fructose, and mixtures thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the added sugar with the low glycemic index is 1 to 20% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the added fiber is 1 to 8% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1 further comprising a milk-based ingredient in an amount from 1 to 25% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the legume is 8 to 30% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the legume is 10 to 25% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the fruit is 1 to 15% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the nutritional composition has a glycemic load equal to or lower than 20. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The nutritional composition of claim 1, wherein the cereal flour comprises (1) refined flour that is 30 to 50% w/w of the nutritional composition; and (2) whole grain flour that is 20 to 40% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The nutritional composition of claim 11 comprising: the sugar in a total amount from 5 to 18% w/w of the nutritional composition; the added sugar with the low glycemic index in an amount from 5 to 15% w/w of the nutritional composition; fat in an amount from 0 to 10% w/w of the nutritional composition; the dietary fiber in a total amount from 2 to 22% w/w of the nutritional composition; the added fiber in an amount from 1 to 8% w/w of the nutritional composition; the legume in an amount from 5 to 40% w/w of the nutritional composition; and the fruit in an amount from 1 to 18% w/w of the nutritional composition. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The nutritional composition of claim 12, wherein the fat is 0 to 5% w/w of the nutritional composition, the added fiber is 1.5 to 7% w/w of the nutritional composition, the legume is 10 to 25% w/w of the nutritional composition, and the fruit is 1 to 15% w/w of the nutritional composition.
