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.

No biscuits are 'healthy'. Make him buy his own biscuits and do his own research.

When DD was small, I used to make biscuits with two ingredients: overripe mashed bananas and porridge oats, small rounds on a baking tray, bake until golden. DD loved them and they weren't unhealthy.

Fig roll
Lemon puff
Jaffa cake
Garibaldi
Jammie Dodger

That's your 5-a-day right there

No sugar biscuits Are in poundlands and b and Ms at the minute . They are usually a light blue box but have been rebranded to a red box. They have a range of digestives to chocolate chip cookies. X

Jaffa cake only has 46 calories.

Pink & White wafer biscuits only have 50 cals but feel like a treat because they're big

Nairns, 40% lower sugar.

I use the low fat (or whatever it is)(the most miserable one) rich tea when i'm dieting.

2 of them is my snack with a cupper if i've got the nibbles.

Rich tea fingers are around 30 cals
each - but I tend to find that eating something like this makes me more hungry

Which is the healthiest is what way? Lowest in sugar, fat, calories or carbs??? None are healthy!

Do the no sugar biscuits not contain polyols that can have a laxative effect if you eat too much of it?

Yep.

The labelling never specifies how much is too much

Fruit shortcake are quite low calorie compared to things like chocolate digestive

This reminds me of my 6 year old asking me a few days ago ‘what’s the healthiest fruit?’. To which I replied ‘well it depends what metric we’re using… do you mean lowest calorie? Lowest sugar? Highest fibre?’

Healthy = fig rolls or so I was told by an nutritionist. But that doesn't mean low sugar / low calories; it means they have some nutritional benefit.
Rich teas probably aren't awful; they're a lot less greasy and sweet than even a digestive.
I just buy the biscuits I don't like so I don't eat them. Bourbons and hobnobs - yuk.

Fig roles are yummy!

Skinny cookies are sugar free

Aldis Party Rings - 28cals each

Looks like he might be right re rich tea!

Skinny cookies also contain maltitol that can have a laxative effect

Air Biscuits.

No calories ingested at all.

Nairns low sugar biscuits - come in a variety of flavours. Closely followed by rich tea. Low at the sugar levels as opposed to the calories.

• Look at the sugar levels, I meant.

How about one iced gem? Even better if you bite the iced bit off before giving it to him.

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 are only 38 cal in a rich tea biscuit.
