Wheat thins are worse than WHAT?

Ok so I got some wheat thins last weekend and I was looking at the nutrition facts, of course, and I didn't immediately made this connection but - 31 g of Wheat Thins are 150 cals, and 30 g of light brown sugar is exactly 100 calories. So the same amount of wheat thins has almost 50 MORE calories than sugar! :noway:
More calories than sugar, wow. No wonder I put weight back on over the summer, I was on a Wheat Thins kick! :grumble: Never again.

lol thats funny! but remember that the wheat thins do have some nutritional value and will keep you satisfied where as the sugar will not0
-
try the kashi TLC crackers. They are much better for you.0

well by that logic an apple is worse than sugar too. which we all know is not so.0

Of course a serving of Wheat Thins probably tastes better as a snack then a scoop of brown sugar. :laugh:
I just bought some Wheat Thins the other day. I should've got the low sodium. I got the original and I can only eat a serving or 2 because they're so salty.0 -
mmmm wheat thins.... haven't had those in a long time.0

I was talking in terms of caloric density only. I have no idea what the caloric density of an apple is, but probably less than wheat thins! Besides, fruit makes me hungrier than I was before I started :ohwell: Also, have you seen what a single serving of wheat thins looks like? Not nearly enough! They're so addicting . . .0 -
In the book eat this not that they eat Triscuits instead of wheat thins. Can;t remember why but I think it was because of the calories and fat. NOt positive though.

they probably also have high fructose corn syrup in them...like so many other crackers.0

A very tasty example of something that is not the least bit healthy! Triscuits, now those are tasty and full of goodness! Keep reading those nutritional side panels!0

I have to mention my favorite crackers. They're called Nut Thins. I bought them b/c I can't have wheat/flour...but they are actually really good. They're crispy and there's a bunch of different flavors. One serving is 16 crackers and 130 calories. Enjoy!0

Depends on the size of an apple. I eat medium sized apples and they have 80 calories in them. A large apple I think has 120...not to sure.0 -

hmmmmmmmm I've been logging my medium sized apples as about 110 cals. Don't know which is right.0 -
