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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
