Is that excessive? I am 17 weeks pregs and they say 50% less saturated fat on the packet.

BTW the biscuits are on top a lion bar at lunch which may make it worse.

feeling a bit thirsty now so off for some juice.....

YABU. If you are going to eat biscuits at least eat something more tasty.

I've just done the same, only dunked in a cup of tea.

the problem is if I ate something more tasty I would have to stop myself and I know I couldn't. I'm down to the last 2 now...and I've got my juice. the baby likes them.

30 minutes? Were you doing something else at the same time? Cos I think I could do that in about 6.

Half a packet! What about the rest?

Yanbu, rich tea biscuits are like thin air. I can eat a whole packet without thinking about it.

Mmm lion bar, I haven't had one of those for years!

YANBU - I think there is something "moreish" about any biscuits but especially Rich Tea because they aren't sickly so you can eat a lot in one go.......enjoy!

wanderingsheep - I've just rediscovered the lion bars in my canteen at work - slightly chilled. Far superior to a toffee crisp and they remind me of being about 10. Just a shame they're not more widely available.

Two chocloate digestives, choccy sides stuck together and dipped in tea. A whole packed just fell into my mouth.

And I can't even blame pregnancy

yabu.
you should be eating chocolate hobnobs at the very least if you're pregnant!

i've just eaten a whole chocolate bar because it stopped me from coughing for 5 minutes!

YABU. You should have eaten better biscuits. Rich Teas are a waste of space ( and calories!)

When I was pregnant and had morning sickness it was suggested somewhere, don't know if it is nowadays, that you have a biscuit or two before getting out of bed. So I used to have, at least, two rich teas and a cup of tea before getting up everyday.

Didn't help morning sickness one bit but the biscuits were good.

Blurgh. Rich Tea are pathetic excuses for biscuits.
Have an 'ob nob, woman. You're dunking for two!

I buy Rich Tea cos they're not that tempting so only have three one if I'm really peckish/in need of something sweetish.

But I also have them at 2 in the morning when I can't sleep with a glass of milk.

(And I wonder where those little pounds keep appearing from )

I had half a packet of Fox's creams, fell asleep on the sofa for an hour then woke up and ate most of the rest of the packet. I'm 36+4 so entirely blame the baby

Half a pack in 30 mins is quite slow going when pregnant
