New Product ... What do you think?
Hi there, I am just over 6 months post-op and just found a new product (new to me) and wondered what some of the veterans on the site thought. Its called 'Broghies' poppers and they kind of remind me of rice cakes without all the calories, etc. here's the nutritional facts:
1 wafer (5g)
19 calories
Fat 0.02g
Cholesterol 0mg
Sodium 0.1mg
Carbs - 4.4g
Sugars 0g
Protein 0.4g
They are made with Wheat, Tapioca, Soybean and Salt, however you can get them with Corn Flour rather than Wheat.
I just found them and enjoy one of them just for the crunch factor as a snack. My concern is the carbs, I try to keep me carbs (simple & complex) under 45 and I don't do anything 'white'. Anyone see something that may be an issue? Thanks, Cathy

I kind of felt that might be an answer ... I think it's the crunch I like but I definitely get the empty calories. Thanks for your input Ginny

I liked them for the crunch and would put. My cheese or tuna eetc.. loved them with peanut butter. Moderation is the key and everyday
