I'm having trouble getting enough carbs. My body reacts very poorly to "fast" processed carbs, so I avoid breads cereals rice, etc. I know I need to work in more vegetables, and I'm working on that, but does anyone know of a whole grain low glycemic index high fiber no hydrogenated fats cracker that tastes fairly good?

    Do you have a sprouts market near you? They have a great pumpernickel rye cracker that I love.

    Look into crispbread. Crackers sounds like biscuits which are basically cookies.

    You'd have to look into the specifics on these, but trader joes multigrain crackers, in green and white box. Ak maks.

    Crackers are crackers, cookies are cookies. How did you turn a cracker into a cookie?

    Not sure if it meets all of your specifications, but I enjoy Crunchmaster 5-seed crackers, and wheat thins.

    Google: Good high carb foods
    Things like lentils, quinoa, barley, beans, sweet potatoes.
    Crackers will not be your best source for carbs if your goal is to increase carbs.
    Some in stores still contain trans fats.

    Make your own baked Mathris. They are a staple in northern India and are made from just a few ingredients. Very easy in the oven. I like them with pickles. Just Google baked Mathri

    I think if you go on one of the paleo sites you will find a variety of low carb crackers made with flaxseed, low carb flours, etc. This website might get you started: http://www.julianbakery.com

    Sorry, I just noticed you aren't trying to find low carb cracker. I like Mary's Gone Crackers. Delish!

    I like crunch master artisan 4 cheese rice crackers. Costco has them and I'm sure others.

    I'm never sure what processed means but can't you just bake your own bread? Or your own crackers? Keep any extra in the freezer and pull out when desired.

    If you are avoiding the bolded and depending on the area in which you live this list could get interesting.

    I live in Canada and prefer wheat thins or triscut crackers.

    I eat toppables too but I suspect you wouldn't want those as they are buttery and not grainy at all.

    Mary's Gone Crackers do have brown rice and quinoa in them, but they're my favorite cracker.

    I'm looking for something on which to put tuna salad, egg salad, vegis, cheese spread, and stuff like that.

    To clarify; I'm not anti grain or anti carbs or anything, I just do better with small amounts of whole grain. Instead of sandwich bread or a serving of rice, I think I'd do better with a small healthy cracker under a towering pile of protein and healthy fat, so I can use the majority of my carb calories on vegis.

    My husband used to joke that chips are just a delivery system for dip. That's kind of the concept I'm after here, only a healthy version. I need a low profile delivery system for my protein and healthy fats.

    Instead of crackers, try spreading these on celery sticks. You can't beat that crunch! :)

    Wasa makes a bunch of different crackers that have different grains and amounts of carbs and some have a decent amount of fiber. You might want to check them out.
