Do you like a biscuit...or two with your cup of tea (or coffee)? I sure do. But it's always a naughty but nice feeling when I bite into one.
I came across an article that gives you the worst biscuits to eat if you're trying to trim your weight, number 20 being the worst.
20.
Tesco All Butter Shortbread Fingers - the worst for saturated fat.
19.
Fox's Crunch Creams - one of the worst for saturated fat plus there's a heaped teaspoon of sugar in each biscuit.
18.
Cadbury Crunchie Bisuit - The worst for sugar content; one of the highest bisuits for fat content.
17.
Jammy Dodgers - has more than a heaped sugar in each; there's no real raspberry in the centre.
16.
Fox's Viennese - Contains the highest fat content in a chocolate biscuit; contains hydrogenated vegetable oil - not good!
15.
McVitie's Milk Chocolate Digestive - Contains twice as much sugar as a plain digestive.
14.
Cadbury Chocolate Rich Tea - Contains twice the amount of sugar AND twice the number of calories as a McVities plain Rich Tea.
13
. McVities Chocolate Hobnobs - Compared to plain hobnobs they have seven times the amount of saturated fat AND nearly twice the amount of sugar.
12.
Tesco Value Bourbon Creams - The cream centre has almost 10% of your daily intake of saturated fat.
11.
Crawfords Custard Creams - Contains more fat, more saturated fats and more sugar than Asda's smartprice brand.
10.
Asda Smartprice Custard Creams - Contains less calories and sugar but has a high saturated fat content (as with all creamy centre biscuits).
9.
Fox's Crinkles Coconut - High in sugar and saturated fats.
8.
Maryland Chocolate Chip Cookies - Only 57 calories per cookie, but eating two or three is equivalent in saturated fat content as eating a two-fingered Kit Kat!
7.
McVitie's Jaffa Cakes - Only 46 calories per biscuit AND contains 1g of fat, BUT is high in sugar.
6.
Tesco Value Ginger Nuts - Only 46 calories and 2g of fat per biscuit; is a healthy biscuit to choose - contains approx. one-tenth of your iron daily allowance.
5.
McVitie's Ginger Nuts - Contains slightly less fat than a Tesco Value Ginger Nut.
4. Fox's Malted Milk - 43 calories and 1.9g of fat; high malt and milk content; low sugar and saturated fat content.
3. McVitie's Digestive - A great source of fibre because of the wholewheat content. This brand contains a lower saturated fat content than other digestive brands.
2. McVitie's Oaty HobNobs - 67 calories and 1.3 g of fat; very good for fibre - three biscuits gives you 10% of your daily allowance; gives a steady release of energy; high sugar content.
The Best Biscuit
1. McVitie's Rich Tea - Only 38 calories; only 1.3g of fat; They're made with vegetable oil so are very low in saturated fat.
