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?

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.

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

Thank you girls for taking the tine to answer .... I will stay whit option #3.
