Crackers

Crackers look light and airy, but they won't make you look that way. 100 grams of generic crackers can add up to about 500 calories! And it's because they consist almost exclusively of carbohydrates. If you're going to eat them, always choose whole-grain varieties, and watch your serving sizes. Try Swedish-style crispbread, which is naturally lower in calories and comes in long rectangular shapes that are perfect for topping with healthier, filling ingredients.
