    As far as junk food goes, they really aren't bad. I usually have a box in my house, and a handful (at 100 calories) curbs the salty snack cravings.

    I don't think that they are as bad as some other junk foods?

    I haven't had them at all since I joined MFP, but I would think they're not terrible for you. The worst thing would probably be the sodium...and the orange dye....

    Just stay within your calorie goal and you'll be fine! Enjoying a little of the foods you love every so often will help keep you from feeling deprived and will keep you on track towards your goals.

    They do not really have any nutritional value. But some now and then and not the whole box will not hurt you!

    I love cheez-its also. I could sit and eat the whole box in one day lol. When I do buy them now, I just eat the serving size but I don't let myself eat them everyday.....a couple times a week!

    I can't buy them - especially the white cheddar flavor. Once I have one....I can't stop until the whole box is gone. I know Cheez-its makes a lowfat version, but they seriously taste like cardboard.

    If you have the self control to maintain portion control, eating them every once in awhile if fine. If you're like me.....ohhh don't even buy them!

    White Cheddar are my favorite! Keep in mind, though, that 25 crackers = 150 calories and there are 13 servings per box!! I used to just sit and watch football and eat them not anymore lol. It's very easy to consume 500-600 calories at time so be careful. The other thing is, they make you thirsty so you end up consuming liquid calories that way as well.

    im eatin a "snack pack" of white cheddar now... they make the white cheddar and monterey jack in a box of "snack packs" and each baggy is 180 calories...it curbs my "salty" desire (plus i have always loved cheezits!) and actually ease any hunger i'm feeling between meals! YUMMY!

    I like the reduced fat ones. They are my all time favorite crackers. But I have to put the servings in snack size baggies and take only one to work...ha. If i don't, i make them all go away in one day.

    I have such a weakness for cheez-its. :-/ I count each one I eat so I won't go over the serving size-- But if it were possible I would live on them.

    Cheez-its, coffee and chocolate...

    Mmmm.

    Probably not all at the same time.
