I think you're best with the 3rd ones because #'s 1 and 2 are very low in fiber and both have enriched flour. They seem high in calories though. How many is in a serving?

I have been having Kashi whole grain crackers (the kind that look like a triscuit) but I am not 100% sure if they're "legal". The serving size is 7 and when I have them I only have 2 or 3 with a little bit of sf jam. Man is it a nice treat though!

I like triscuit original thins. Maybe too much! I try to have spreadable cheese on top to combine with protein.

Karen, I love Triscuits too. Love them when dieting (ahem - trying a new WOL) or not. Over the weekend I had some for breakfast each day, but I'm nervous. I don't want to start binging on them, which believe me can happen (especially with that spreadable cheese you talk about!) There are certain things I am only going to allow myself on weekends, like Triscuits and popcorn (and the occasional pork rind - I know, I know).

I like Triscuts too and I really like the peppered ones. what I do is take out my serving and put hte box away. In the past I have been known to prebag into individual servings.If I eat out the box I will eat too many. If I take out my serving and put the box away The serving size is just enough and sometimes too much. I don't finish it.

Mmc and Tammie - I think they taste wonderful when I am on SB and like straw when I am not! Funny how that works. I ate them every day last spring on PH2 but admit that while I portioned out servings, too, sometimes I added just a cracker or two. Or got a second serving. So this go round, I am avoiding them for now. But I have three boxes in my pantry! Maybe I should try the "only on weekends" approach.

Wfonseca, in the first two choices the words "enriched wheat flour" are your clue that these are a no-no. That is plain old white flour. Look for crackers that are made with whole grains, not just "wheat flour". From the Phase II list sticky:

Crackers, whole grain with 3 grams of fiber or more per ounce and no trans fats

Portion control is key too. I don't eat crackers because of this. I can't stop eating them and they set off cravings for more carbs.

you can also try the cheese stick crackers!

how do you feel about soy chips?

[Kslosingit]

Are soy chips ok? I bought a bag last week but wasn't sure if they were SB friendly and couldn't find any info online.

[murphmitch]

Look on the ingredients. All the ones I've looked at have rice flour and corn flour in them, so not OK.
