For many people, swopping bread for crackers and crispbreads is one way of cutting back on calories. However, there is still quite a wide disparity between the many different brands. Here, we analyse the nutritional content of a range of products, comparing their calorific values in 1. JACOBS CREAM CRACKERSCals per 1. Contrary to the name, cream crackers do not contain cream. According to nutritionists, eating one or two a day to keep your hunger at bay, and your blood sugar levels stable between meals, can help as part of a weight- loss strategy. Cream crackers do, however, contain a relatively high proportion of fat at 1g per cracker - compared to one slice of white bread, which contains 0. These contain sodium, both in salt content and in the raising agent sodium bicarbonate. Too much sodium can lead to raised blood pressure. CRACKERBREADCals per 1. These extremely light crackers are very low in fat - 0. However, their low fibre content and light texture means they're unlikely to stave off hunger. These do list sugar in the ingredients, but of the 3. They contain traces of milk, so should be avoided by anyone with intolerance to lactose (the main sugar found in dairy products). RYVITA SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND OATSCals per 1. A long- time favourite with slimmers, Ryvita has developed a new range of whole- seed crackers. This product contains sunflower seeds, which are a source of Vitamin E - an antioxidant which boosts the immune system, neutralises the free radicals that cause clogged arteries and other diseases, and which is vital to healthy brain function. The crackers are a source of phosphorous, which helps the metabolism. Made with wholegrain rye and oats, this gives the crackers a low glycaemic index. Therefore, energy is released slowly to maintain sugar levels. There is 1g of fat per slice, but the fibre content is high at around 2g per slice. Fibre is needed for healthy bowel function. TUC BISCUITSCals per 1. Another old family favourite, but not a particularly good choice for slimmers as TUC biscuits contain glucose syrup and a higher proportion of saturated fat. Each biscuit contains 1. A high intake of saturated fat has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease. JACOBS CORNISH WAFERSCals per 1. Suitable for vegetarians and free from artificial colours. Cornish wafers are free from hydrogenated vegetable oils, also known as trans fats. These oils are formed artificially when manufacturers bubble hydrogen through vegetable fat or oil in order to extend shelf- life. Large quantities have been linked to heart disease, diabetes and high cholesterol. The crackers have quite a high fat content per cracker of 2. However, it is this high proportion of fat that gives the wafers their flaky texture. These crackers, like many others, contain wheat flour so should be avoided by anyone who is sensitive to gluten. A substance found in wheat, barley and rye, gluten reacts with the small bowel, causing damage by activating the immune system to attack the bowel lining, which absorbs nutrients and vitamins. KALLO LOW- FAT RICE CAKESCals per 1. These are gluten- free so can be eaten by those who suffer from coeliac disease or who have a wheat intolerance. Containing less than three per cent fat, rice cakes have long been acknowledged as a slimming food. However, they may not be able to sustain energy levels for long, since according to Rebecca Foster, nutrition scientist with the British Nutrition Foundation, being low in fat does not necessarily make rice cakes a food with a low GI index. Though these rice cakes contain some fibre, choose those made with a wholegrain brown rice to make you feel fuller for longer. CARR'S TABLE WATER BISCUITSCals per 1. The technique of using water instead of fat to blend the dry ingredients of these biscuits was originally developed to keep them fresh for seafarers on long voyages. Low in fat at 0. 3g per biscuit. The fibre content is relatively low, at 0. JACOB'S ESSENTIALS WITH SESAME AND ROSEMARYCals per 1. An oven- baked cracker which combines grains, wheat germ and whole- wheat. High in fibre, at 1g per cracker, to add bulk to the diet. The crackers are a source of vitamin E as well as B3, which helps produce energy from foods and keeps the nervous and digestive system healthy. They also contain iron, which helps red blood cells to carry oxygen around body - six crackers provide 1. They are also a source of magnesium, which is needed to help maintain muscle function - six crackers contain 2. Fat content is 1g per cracker. HOVIS CRACKERSCals per 1. As well as wheat- flour, these crackers are made with 1. Wheat germ is a highly- nutritious part of the wholewheat grain as it is a source of vitamin E, B vitamins and selenium, another antioxidant that may help prevent cancer. As a rich source of fibre, wheat germ helps maintain bowel regularity and protect against renal and colon cancer. There is a slightly higher sodium content than some other crackers at 0. The fat content is around 1. TESCO RICE CRACKERS - BARBECUE FLAVOURCals per 1. These small, baked crackers have been flavoured with a barbecue seasoning made from colours and additives. However, none of those listed has been proved to have negative effects on health. Made from rice flour, the product does not stress that it is gluten- free, so anyone with a wheat allergy should eat with caution. RAKUSEN'S MATZOSCals per 1. Originally a Jewish food, these large crackers have become a mainstream snack. Being flame- baked in an oven for just 6. The ingredients are a simple mixture of wheat flour and water. There is no added salt. At 9. 8 per cent fat- free, they are a healthy option. CARR'S CHEESE MELTSCals per 1. These wheaten biscuits are sprinkled with dried cheese, so should be avoided by anyone with a lactose intolerance. But, surprisingly, the cheese content does not make the fat content any higher than that in many of the other crackers - 1g per slice. It does list hydrogenated vegetable oil in the ingredients and eating a significant amount of these so- called 'bad' fats has been linked to various health problems, including heart disease and diabetes.
