Healthy Crackers?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend any? If I'm going to consume cracker carbs, I would want them to be of a healthy variety. What are you guys using? Appreciate the feedback!!

Quest brand Protein chips for me.

I like the 100% cheese crackers like Wausome wafers and Moon Cheese. They are pricey but all natural and 0 carbs. I also make my own with Parmesan cheese in the oven on parchment paper and with Sargento Ultra thin sharp cheddar.

I wish I liked the Quest chips but to me they taste like cardboard. =(

I'm on maintenance and didn't use these while I was losing weight. But anyway ....

The best crackers I've found -- meaning, relatively high Protein and high Fiber -- are:

* Doktor Cracker's Three Seed Crackers

* Wasa Multigrain flatbread / crackers

You can find these in almost any grocery store, even Walmart.

I use these instead of bread and always eat them with something that's high Protein. Had 2 Wasa multigrain crackers today with chicken salad for lunch.

The best crackers to me are cucumber slices.

The Quest chips would be okay. I have some. They good for like 5 chips then they are not that tastey.

Ok, I just found the best tasting snack! Mr. cheese O's. Different flavors and it is made of cheese, quinoa, oat bran and spices. I bought the Sweet Chili flavor. SO good - 150 calories / 9g fat / 6g carb / 10g Protein. Not saying this is something I should eat every day. The fat content is definitely too high to have too often AND they certainly didn't fill me up, but I will definitely have them again. I wish I liked the Quest Protein chips but all I can taste is the Protein powder taste.

I love Mr. Cheese O's. They are my favorite post-swim snack.< /p>

@InnerSurferGirl - I don't know how I didn't know about these! I was looking for some decent Snacks to take on vacation and these hit the spot! I am going to get more today. I may split them down into 2 portions and I will have to be careful as I can see these being a daily habit for me.

I think the same thing about Quest chips. I like them for the first few seconds then they get gross tasting.

I definitely have to be careful or would eat them all the time! It helps that they aren't cheap.

@@VSGAnn2014 - I used Robert Wasa bread YEARS ago when I was dieting. I ate them with salsa. I ate them with cheddar cheese melted on them. I ate then with tuna. Yum! I had kind if forgotten about them. I recall them being VERY crunchy. I'm going to have to get some of those too

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
