Fish Crackers
They're a staple kid food (which may, in fact, be their downfall). It isn't that there is anything particularly bad in them—there's no food colouring or trans fats, as well as little sugar, but could you do better? Yes. Consider that 55 crackers holds 140 calories—about ⅓ of them from processed fat, and the rest from white flour. There is less than one gram of fibre for all of that ‘snack'. And although some brands now have a ‘whole-grain' version, keep in mind that it is still highly processed. When you think about what wheat is supposed to provide (roughage, carbohydrates and nutrients), this isn't the place to get it. Instead, find crackers with as few ingredients as possible that start with ‘whole grain'. Woven wheats are a better bet.
