Diet foods?

I've never been much of a fan of 'diet' foods, Weight Watchers, supermarkets own brand, etc. I always find there are never enough calories, they don't taste nice (sometimes like cardboard!), they don't fill you up and so you end up eating more, I could go on but you get the point.

Well, I was in McColl's over the road from me to top up my electricity and as usual, I took a sneaky peek at the reduced to clear baskets.


I decided to pick up these bad boys and give them a go. 50p, I couldn't complain at that so even if I didn't like them, I hadn't lost out on that much money.

As I said at the beginning, I never really have high hopes for 'diet' foods but I figured I could at least try them and then I'd know for sure.

Well I was certainly proved wrong! These were so yummy. Yes I'm 24 years old and I'm using the word yummy. The perfect wee snack. I've tried them on their own and dipped in Greek yoghurt, next time it'll be a cuppa!


I wish I liked more fruit so I could have them with yoghurt and sultanas on top. I'll maybe try apple, that could work right?

So onto the nutritional info for those interested, (per packet/2 biscuits)
  • Cals - 84
  • Protein - 1.4g
  • Carbohydrates - 12.9g
  • (of which sugars) - 4.2g
  • Fat - 2.7g
  • (of which saturates) - 0.9g
  • Fibre - 1.4g
  • Sodium - 0.05g
  • Salt equivalent - 0.1g

In conclusion, I should stop lumping all 'diet' foods together and try some, I might be surprised!

Have you been surprised by any new foods recently?

  1. Some diet foods are OK but some contain loads of artifical sweetners to replace the fat they have taken out, so I'd always check ingredients.

    I'm a WW member and I ocassionally eat their products but I prefer to make my own stuff.
