Biscuits

I eat these.

Oat cakes ?

Trouble is that one biscuit is never enough, and at 70 calories each I could easily nibble away at several hundred calories worth of 'em a day. I find that once the taste has been acquired Oscar Wildean logic takes over, resistance crumbles, and that's even without a chocolate topping. Best leave them in the shop or packet, I think, nibble a carrot stick and feel superior. Ugh!

There is only 64 calories in one fig roll biscuit. I love fig roll biscuits. Not wholemeal, but the fig makes up for that.

Only for the strong willed though. Not for me.

I did toy with the idea of making my own oat-based sugar-free biscuits but have never done it. Easier to buy off the shelf, sadly.

I so want a fig roll biscuit now.

Wouldn't mind a Garibaldi -havent seen one in years.

I did hear that broken biscuits don't have any calories because they'd fallen out.........

Neither do they have calories if you eat them standing up in the kitchen.

papaoscar They still sell 'em, probably in Sainsbury, or even Waitrose.

Jaffa cakes (or substitute supermarket ones) are low calorie.

I've just posted a recipe for digestive biscuits in the recipes section. Makes about 20 and all 20 are delicious down to the last crumb.

I once enquired of a mother of a badly behaved child, in a meeting with staff about his behaviour, why she had given him 7 jaffa cakes in his lunch box. "Because they are the best low fat alternative" she said. "To what?!!" chorused 3 voices.

Not whole meal and not sweet. I am a fan of marmite rice biscuits. One is enough, it just seems to stem hunger pangs so much more effectively.

I made some low calorie wholewheat crackers the other day, about 20 of them, then ate the lot with cheese left from Christmas. They weren't even very nice, not rolled thinly enough!

Thanks for all the great ideas.

Stansgran where do I find the recipe section, I can't find it anywhere.

Found the recipes thanks.

Ah yes Marmite rice crackers. It's the whole pack for me . I dare not buy them.

Dont be silly, loopyloo! In broken biscuits the calories evaporate - it's a scientfic fact!

We eat caramel snackerjacks if we fancy something sweet. Around 50 calories and because they're big you feel as if you've eaten something.

I've been following the myfitnesspal way of losing weight. It's been working for me (mainly!) because it starts off at 1200 calories and you add in what you eat as you go through the day. I buy Aldi's breakfast biscuits (170 calories) for a snack during the evening. These stave off hunger pangs and aren't too sweet. I've tried other ones, but prefer these.

I need to show this thread to DH who has just devoured 2/3 Pk dark choc digestives !!

Annoyingly his cholesterol is very good and he doesn't put on weight
