Biscuits

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.

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

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

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.

Oo and Crackerbread . Lovely.

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

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

Lemongrove have you changed your name on GN ?

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.

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

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

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

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'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!!!

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 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?

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).

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.
