Biscuits

Try rice cakes. Home Bargains sell plain or cheese ones. I buy the plain 39p per pack they are great with a mashed bananasand only have 25 calories each cake.

Check out other brands of oatcake. The Aldi ones (Scottish rough oatcakes) have 1.4g sugar per 100g, or < half a gram per oatcake, which is insignificant. That's compared with 3.8g per Oatie biscuit (their version of Hobnobs).

I was feeling really fed up yesterday, so opened a tin of biscuits someone had given me for Christmas and ate the whole top layer. Oh dear. So my punishment is no biscuits for the whole of February. I shall stick with above suggestion of rice cakes. Any more ideas of a non-biscuit that I can have with a bit of cheese?

I love Jacobs Cream crackers with cheese - or Carr’s water biscuits -nothing else seems to fit the bill. They are my go to instead of toast if I have been unwell too.

I'm back on the Ryvita with pumpkin seeds - quite satisfying and you can put so much on them.

Shocked to find the two biscuit packet of ginger biscuits DH and I share in Nero/Costa are 129 calories EACH!!!

Oh yes, and I think there is such a thing as low-fat cream crackers. And water biscuits are low calorie. And I had forgotten about Ryvita. Thanks.

I love the black pepper variety of Ryvita.They are quite strong.

NanKate you are very slim and have no need of low sugar biccies! ?

Greenfinch I mistakenly bought those pepper ones thinking they were dark rye ones, and put marmalade on one breakfast time!Urrrrrhgh.

I would love to be very slim Lemongrove but sadly a mixture of having a under active thyroid and battling to come off steroids as well as enjoying my food has had the effect of me putting on about a stone since last year and all my clothes round my hips are tight ?

I am better at reducing my food intake rather than excluding fat, sugar, dairy etc from my diet.

Hopefully onward and downward with my weight.

Lemongrove have you changed your name on GN ?

Yes, last year ( changed names) I will pm you.

I'm a cream cracker fan too. Love the rice cakes for a change though.

Oo and Crackerbread . Lovely.

Nairn oatcakes are very low in sugar. The packet I’m looking at has only 0.1g sugar per oatcake.

That’s about as low as you’ll get.

Revita, marmite, cottage cheese with cucumber on top! Delish! And healthy!

midgey my version is marmite rice cakes, quark and cucumber. My breakfast is two of the above.

I enjoy Sainsbury's own brand Highland Oatcakes which have less than 0.5g of sugar per oatcake, and are usually cheaper than Nairn's. They are delicious, and filling, spread with peanut butter, and with pumpkin seeds sprinkled on top for extra nutrition and crunchiness.

Krackerbread is nice. Out savoury things like cheese and tomato on it. Yummy

henetha I binged yesterday too. Maybe it was the weather! I had been steadily losing weight and I have probably put half of it back on in one day.

I'm not sure about the sugar content, but I'm addicted to Bath Olivers.
Even our 17 month old DGS is hooked on them!
They're a great base for a sweet or savoury topping, especially a slice or two of smoked venison, yum!
Waitrose stock them.

Cheese is nice on or with apples and with pears too. Celery is a good 'plate' and some sorts of lettuce work like that too.

Rice cakes? Oatcakes? IMHO...tasteless.
I'm all for flavour and no half fat anything. Butter and cream not 'alternatives'.
How anyone can feel joy after eating rice cakes is a miracle.
