It looks like a pasta, and is apparently high in carbs and protein. Dunno though, I'm not a expert, heh.
See here:

Seems high in calories for just a serving, but I imagine you can cut that serving in half and load it down with steam veggies and chicken.

I am curious too. I thought it was 'more or less' like a pasta in terms of carbs etc. There is a new place "Cous Cous House" that I go past every day on my exercise route. I am interested to try it but generally avoiding too many carbs so I haven't gone there yet.
