Wheat Thins

Someone please get on this forum and tell me how you feel about Wheat Thins...are they really bad?  I added them to my approved list at 6 months out, but was that right?  They are soooooo goood!!! With cheese, chicken salad, tuna salad, salsa, plain... 

They're not terrible in terms of nutrition, but they do have a lot of carbs (16 crackers: 130-150 calories, depending on whether RF or not, and 22g of carbs for either kind).  Personally, I would suggest just eating the cheese and tuna/chicken salad, etc. without the crackers most of the time.

I confess to loving Triscuits - the rosemary and olive oil flavor is still high in carbs like Lora said (six crackers has 20g - I don't think I've eaten six of them TOTAL since I had my surgery, honestly). But I have eaten one with 2Tbl chicken salad as a meal. I have been scared to eat too many at a time though, so I never snuck more than one. It would be just my luck I'd eat three and get sick and the world would know.  

Just wanted you to know you weren't alone with your secret crush!

Wheat Thins (and I love the Tomato and Basil ones) are a huge trigger food for me and start me down the slippery slope of slider foods.

I would agree with the others - maybe consider them a treat to be eaten occasionally.

I am 9 months out - and um - I love them!
That is not saying that I think I should be eating them....

Crunchy salty things are my weakness not sweets.  I love love love wheat thins and triscuits so I don't have them in the house.  I allow myself to have them guilt free when I visit my mother -in-law (twice a month) since she always serves them with lunch or I buy them for a specific snack to have with chicken or tuna at an all day track/cross country invitational for my son.  That way I don't deny myself the pleasure but limit daily access.

thank you all, you each reiterated exactly what i already know, slider foods can be not so great triggers! aahhh...i am bored with some of the other foods in my life, these are salty and crunchy, and different. i must learn to move on...don't give up what you want most, for what you want at the moment!

What I do to have somewhat the same texture is that I toast a Mission low carb tortilla then break it into pieces.  I then eat them with cheese for the same crunch but much fewer carbs.  Carbs are the devil for me.

 They have the bigger ones that are like 3 inches long, 30 calories each that I use 1  of instead of bread with deli meats, tuna, and chicken salad.  

I won't eat them plain, because for me that's a huge trigger. But, I will let myself eat a few with some sort of protein on them.
