What's the healthiest biscuit?

[greenmeansNogo]

My Dh says a rich tea is diet food ? He needs to diet but can't give up the biccies I know so many will hate me for saying biccies he he.

Are there ones he isn't fussed about? Just buy those so he will only eat a couple a day.

Any type that you don't particularly like and won't be tempted to eat more than one of

He likes everything even fig rolls

I always imagine garibaldi must be low in calories but you can buy weight watcher ones I'm sure.

Rich tea have little nutritional value but are only about 36 calories each, compared to something like a digestive which at least has a little fibre but is 70 calories. I'd say rich tea would be a good option as they aren't particularly moreish (unless you butter them ).

I'm following just to see

By ‘healthiest’ do you mean ‘lowest calorie’?
He can eat whatever biscuits he wants as long as he has an overall calorie deficit.

Rice cakes but they don’t count as biscuits in my book.

Sadly biscuits are the enemy of weight loss as they are so calorific and easy to eat. Rich Tea may be less calorific than a Hob-Nob but they are still highly calorific. He needs to do without biscuits if he can’t restrict himself to one or two max a day.

And yes, I hate you for using the b-word.

Apparently there's only about 25 calories in a party ring

30 cals in a chocolate finger.

Don't forget, broken biscuits don't have a calorific value.

Sports biscuits, obviously ;)

I would think maybe Nairn's stem ginger biscuits, for the oats and the lower sugar content.

I am diabetic and buy low sugar biscuits. I get mine from Amazon. They are nice ,unlike low sugar cake.

There aren’t that many calories in a Jaffa cake.

I asked my community diabetes service dietician about whether no added sugar biscuits were okay; I was told if I was going to eat biscuits, go for all butter shortbread instead because it contains "less crap".

Would you mind naming them / linking them as I have a newly diagnosed neighbour who is having to undertake a major lifestyle overhaul and asked my advice (I had GD years ago)

What do you mean “even fig rolls”??? They’re the best ones

Lowest calorie rich tea Fingers, not even a while rich tea! Also dry and bland and no good for dunking so not tempting to eat half a packet

I love a fig roll and it's one of your five a day

Low calorie doesn't equal healthy. Which is he looking for?

I'd think a plain digestive, fig newton or some kind of oat biscuit would be healthiest.

Add a lemon puff and you've got TWO of your five a day!

Hahahaaa this post is hilarious. Rich Tea are NOT diet food 😂

Have an oatcake with a bit of cheese or peanut butter.

The healthiest biscuit is any home made one with normal ingredients. But it won't help you lose weight.

What about those pink wafer biscuits? They were always on about them at ww

Fig rolls are delicious.

I haven't had a lemon puff since being a tiny child. I'd forgotten they exist. Can you still get them?

It doesn't sound like he's in the right frame of mind to diet.
