Durum wheat (e.g. Ebly) is an excellent low calorie food worth including in a healthy diet. It's not possible to calculate its GiP value until its Gi is known (see unlisted foods). You could either only choose foods that are listed, or you could include small amounts of this alternative food and accept that you won't know the GiP value of it - simply make sure you use low fat cooking methods and combine it with a low Gi carb.
