Thanks, I got a confirmation from the manufacturer: "Thank you for your interest in our products. The higher fiber and protein are from the added modified wheat starch and wheat protein isolate. The fiber that we use acts just like other fiber sources (like cereal). The protein is the same as wheat protein." - So, there is a free lunch in this world - 200 calories of pasta with 12 grams of fiber and 16 grams of protien with very little fat - sounds like a winner to me!
