Reddit mentions: The best rice cakes, chips & crackers

You're probably familiar with most of these already, but these are my favorite foods for filling up on minimal calories. Let me know if you want any additional info about any of them.

• Puffed corn - 60cal per cup and lots of volume
  
  
• Sugarfree jello cups - 5-15cal each
  
  
• Halo Top ice cream (praise be)
  
  
• All the green leafy vegetables
  
  
• Soup (even cream-based ones can be pretty reasonable)
  
  
• Egg whites
  
  
• Oat fiber
  
  
• Shirataki noodles
  
  
• Tofu
  
  
• Coco Lite - https://cocofoods.com/shop/index.php/coco-lite.html 16cal each. They're light, puffy, large crackers. Kind of like packing peanuts that you'd use to ship something. Not bad with Laughing Cow or something similar on them.
  
  
• Laughing Cow - https://www.thelaughingcow.com/spreadable-cheese-wedges/ Mostly 35cal each.
  
  
• Arctic Frozen ice cream - https://www.arcticzero.com/ 150-300cal per pint. Easier to find than Halo Top, but pretty gross. Good for desperately eating a whole pint of ice cream.
  
  
• Rice crackers - https://www.amazon.com/Ka-Me-Crackers-Original-Ounce-Packages/dp/B000EPP56U?th=1 This link is just for reference. You can find different brands of these kind of crackers at most stores. Around 100cal for 16 crackers. Not bad, pretty bland.
  
  
• Wasa Crackers - http://www.wasa-usa.com/products/crispbread/multi-grain/ Many varieties, pretty low cal.
  
  
• Turkey/chicken chili – If you like canned chili, the turkey or chicken based ones are pretty good and have far fewer calories than the beef ones. I like Hormel's Turkey Chili, but it's admittedly pretty white trashy. Always get it with beans. They provide extra protein and fill you up more.
  
  
• Rice cakes – 35cal each and good as a substitute for crackers.
  
  
• PB2 - https://www.amazon.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-6-5/dp/B002GJ9JWS I've never tried this but have heard good things from people who like peanut butter.
  
  
• Protein powder – 150ish calories per serving. Fills you up fast and is cheaper than your premixed drinks.
  
  
• Hot Pockets – If you can stand these, avoid the low fat ones. The regular kinds have about the same amount of calories. 200-300 cal each. Good for a quick, shitty meal.
  
  
• Walden Foods - https://www.waldenfarms.com/ - I've tried their salad dressing and their coffee creamer. You're not going to be wowed by any of their stuff, but for having almost no calories, it can be worth it.
  
  
• ThinSlim Foods - http://www.thinslimfoods.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8 – I haven't tried them, but have only heard good things.
  
  
• Freeze-dried fruit – They are different than "dried" fruit. They've had all the liquid removed, so they're crunchy. 100-150 per bag generally and you can find a bunch of fruits.
  
  
• Sprouts of any kind – alfalfa sprouts, brocolli sprouts, etc. Cheap and filling with good flavor.
  
  
• Greek yogurt – Usually 100cal per serving. Comes in some good flavors, and you can find it pretty much anywhere.
  
  
• Low cal pudding. Either premade or boxed-instant. You can find them in the 25-100cal per serving range. Can be nice for a quick sweet or you can mix it with other stuff.
  
  
• FlatOut Bread - http://www.flatoutbread.com/ There are a bunch of brands that make similar items. Great for making little pizzas, rollups, etc. 90-110cal each.
  
  
• Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers https://crunchmaster.com/products/multi-grain-crackers/ Delicious on their own or with a topping. Roughly 8cal per cracker.
  

I'M IN :D And I've already got ideas c: Gonna start on this c:

EDIT: I meant to edit this.. Not reply. ._.

1. Something that is grey.
   
2. Something reminiscent of rain. This is rain because when you drop a bunch of them, it has the soothing sound of gentle rain c: (Craft WL)
   
3. Something food related that is unusual. How are pumpkin pudding flavored Kit Kats NOT unusual? (Food WL)
   
4. Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!) This would be for my dad!! I want to make him a cake for his birthday with this wonderful topper! He just loves golf. He goes about 3 times a week ._. (Baking Stuff WL)
   
5. A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! I haven't read this yet. But.. we should read it at the same time. 'Cause I love talking about books with everyone c: AND. It's about a clash between men and women. A guy who's from a time where women are obedient and a women who's from a time where they go unquestioned and praised. Aaaaaaaaaand... FIGHT! (Books WL)
   
6. An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!
   
7. Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...) Cateye glasses c: ORRRRRRR feathers because I've seen cats attacking birds or walking around with a feather in its mouth COUNTLESS times c: (Both from my Craft WL)
   
8. Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. Shoe laces that don't tie aren't useful.. But shoe laces that don't tie AND LIGHT UP are beautiful c: And I would love to have them so my appearance at night will be FABULOUS. (Cutes! WL)
   
9. A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?

11. Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. This would allow me to easily carry a white board surface with me anywhere. I am a math tutor and an aspiring math professor, so being able to have a handy white board surface would be lovely. ORRRRRR this for a more playful goal. My friends and I seem to have the craziest conversations and strangest encounters while we're playing together. This would be a fun way to get our stuff recorded and FAMOUS. loljk.

12. One of those pesky Add-On items. I just want mochi.. ;~; (Food WL)
    
13. The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? This is my current dream item. I'm attending college. My laptop is a dinosaur and it weighs a ton. It works fine, so I'm not looking to get rid of it. But I need something that won't break my already breaking back when I bring it to school. I spend a lot of time on campus doing homework or just relaxing. This Chromebook has a great battery life and is a good price for what I need to get done. (Dreams WL)
    
14. Something bigger than a bread box. I'm going to assume this is bigger than a bread box because of the amount of candy in it.. (Food WL)
    
15. Something smaller than a golf ball. Sugar pearls are smaller than golf balls c: (Baking Stuff WL)
    
16. Something that smells wonderful. It may be too strong by itself.. But add it into some yummies and it'll smell DELICIOUS. c: (Baking Stuff WL)

    Edit#2: Adding raffle phrase! fear cuts deeper than swords
    
    Also adding one of the bonuses! Purdy paintbrushes are made in Oregon c: They've been made in Portland since 1925! c:

These are all things that I would eat crave even if I wasn't trying to lose weight, and had never even heard of the idea of losing weight:

​

Seaweed snacks, I've been in love with them since childhood. Also these seaweed covered rice crackers, which are roughly the same calories as our beloved Veggie Straws (though I find I eat these a bit quicker).

​

34 Degrees Natural Crisps (airy light crackers). I see crackers just as a vehicle to get other food into my mouth, so I love the super light, almost communion-wafer-esque texture of these.

​

Egg Tofu. These jiggly tubes look kind of like regular silken tofu (which I also love but I get is not for every one). But they have egg mixed in, which means if you slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds and pan-fry gently, you get this golden slightly-crispy egg exterior with the soft silky tofu inside. Drizzle some soy sauce over for yumminess. 100 cals per half tube (which is a good sized serving if you're doing it as a side).

​

Trader Joe's chocolate chip meringue cookies (really most meringue cookies, I guess). Bash 'em up and mix with greek yogurt + thawed frozen berries for a light version of Eton Mess!

​

I love mushrooms sliced thin, sprinkled with salt, and fried on a dry nonstick pan, or tossed with a tiny bit of oil and roasted until golden. I guess it's low cal, but who even cares, I'm putting that stuff on everything. Ditto slow-roasted garlic and cherry tomatoes. Oh and those super thin Enoki mushrooms are so fun, I love the snappy/bouncy texture.

​

Shrimp cocktail, raw oysters, steamed clams, crawfish, imitation crab... I dunno, I don't even know if people think of these as "good for being diet food". I just see it as deliciousness.

​

Frozen grapes, especially when it's hot out. Like a bite of sorbet in each one.

[Edit: formatting]

I am Indian, so I really missed naan after going on keto. Here's a great recipe I found.

I also love Chipotle's sofritas but idk what they put in there and I assume it is salty, so I made my own using this recipe.

I also really love crackers, and I found a great replacement on Amazon called Flackers (they're made from flaxseed)

I really like this pea protein yogurt topping too and this healthy keto friendly granola

Lawful good fictional character, Maxwell Smart " Maxwell Smart lives to thwart evil and promote niceness. He's loyal to the law and his country, and is a stickler for the regulations, but is not above occasionally ignoring them to help his friends."

Wonderful father in my life is my husband, he sacrifices everything for his children. He started a business for concessions selling mini donuts so that we could provide better for our children. In addition to this every summer he works a full time job year round and then does taxes an hour away during tax season, meaning he works two full time jobs, sometimes putting in 120+ hours a week with very little sleep!


Two things that achieve maximum awesome!! Cheese and crackers baby!!

Bonus #1: I'm guessing he was born in 1979

Bonus#2: totally guessing one again lol

For you and anyone helping you out:

• Dried fish and nuts: pretty self explanatory?
  
  
• Dried squid sticks. It says cuttlefish but they taste pretty much the same (to me). There are a lot of brands though, in case he has a preference...
  
  
• Authentic instant noodles: Not sure what would make them authentic, but I'm guessing a pack/bowl you can get at 7-11 would work?
  
  
• Koala Bear Strawberry things: As mentioned, they're available in the US and are called Koala March. Should be the same as the ones in Taiwan, I remember eating them growing up.
  
  
• Pearl milk tea: Not sure how you'd send milk tea across the ocean. But you can probably buy the pearls aka boba aka tapioca and make the tea yourself?
  
  
• Rice crackers: I like these but if he said oval then it may be more like this. Should be this brand though, you can see the boy on the package.
  
  Like other people have mentioned, you can buy most/all of these in the US, but I know that Tennessee doesn't exactly have a big Asian population so it may be harder there. And snack exchanges are fun! So don't let me get in the way of that. Just in case you ever needed to know for the future.

Be careful of the sushi. Roe and squid will have gluten (soy sauce) on them already. Octopus might as well. If you can get to know them and call ahead, they might be able to make your sushi first thing and put it in the fridge before they start making everything with gluten in it.

Want Want shelly senbei don't have any gluten ingredients: http://www.amazon.com/Want-Shelly-Shenbei-Cracker-Biscuits/dp/B0009R0626

Most mochi is ok, but I don't know what brands to get.

Same thing with dried cuttlefish (squid) and dried mango.

It's an excellent place to get super fine ground white rice and tapioca flour for cheap.

Rice noodles and rice paper (although that's Vietnamese so they might not have it). If you are lucky they will have rice macaroni (the stuff I got is Chinese so probably not). Stay away from Soba noodles. They are buckwheat but have gluteny wheat in them as well. I've only ever seen 100% buckwheat soba once.

Ok, so a HUGE thing for me was missing chocolate, I'm not sure how far your sugar avoidance goes, but Walmart now has allergy friendly chocolate chips, even white! So there's that plus literally any fruit would be good.

Otherwise, I recently found this brand and it's an awesome "can't have junk" snack that actually tastes good

Yay! Congrats on getting paid! What is your new job?

You know who else blows a mean piece of brass? Lisa Simpson, hahaha.

Thanks for the contest :D

These Japanese rice cake mochi look tasty for 12.38

It's honestly super simple. The hardest part is probably making sure you don't add too much or too little water.

I'd get something like this (https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Tteokbokki-Popular-Korean-Snack/dp/B07GT3HCH3) and add some shredded cabbage and ramen noodles. The link I gave is overpriced and I've never tried that specific brand, but if I want to make it at home I just grab one of these instead of making it from scratch.

For a "lux" meal, you can also add kim-mari (http://www.heytheresia.com/2018/02/resepgimmari-kimmari-korean-deep-fried.html), have some mandu and kimbap on the side. But yeah, having this at a street stall is the best.

I think you would enjoy these.

As for me, I'm a Seahawks fan!

Congrats on getting free 6-months of Prime!

Your cookies sound delicious. I don't see this recommendation, somehow but... stop buying them if you don't like the rate of consumption? or plan the consumption so you don't feel so bad. I have an issue eating handfuls of prunes (I'm not sorry) so I intentionally plan to not buy them 4/5 grocery trips then not feel bad on the 5th when I do and then inhale them.

Have you tried these root veggie chips? This might not help your cause because they are delicious but you might like the ingredients better. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014852HH6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Qfc4DbJDNQ1W2

Edit: Also these. I'm so sorry. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016CEEYKY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_fpc4DbKY6AMWQ

Beanfields - they are made from navy beans. The nacho cheese flavored ones are fantastic! High protein, high fiber.

Beanfields Bean and Rice Chips, Nacho, 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NG8T9XW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_llEHxbKZC3596

They are usually between 2 and 4 dollars a bag at health food stores like Whole Foods or Sprouts. :)

There's lots of candies that are less than $5 with shipping, my personal favorite are the candies and snacks of the Asian variety. c:

Dried Squid

Some kind of Pocky thing

Pocky, mmmm.

Whatever this is.. xD

All of these strange jerky things..

Strawberry and Chocolate Candy stuff. <3

More dried squid or fish stuffs (which I think is a pretty interesting thing. o:)

Grape gummy candy c:

Roasted watermelon kernals(?)

Sour Cream flavored corn snack.

Cracker Jack!

Welcome to the sub!

I suppose things that would make a difference would be,

• A dust mask, since I work around it a lot and I'm sick of breathing it in.
  
  
• Socks. Comfy socks can make a BIG difference!
  
  And several food items that I really miss from back home, like
  
  
• Octopus flavored chips.
  
  
• Rice crackers.
  
  
• Prawn crackers.
  
  I'd also like to nominate /u/mynthe! Welcome again!

Hawaiian Hurricane popcorn is specifically made by that company.

You can make a similar mix with a package of kettle corn popcorn, arare, and furikake. As for Kim chi powder, you're on your own. Maybe add a Korean dried ground hot pepper seasoning? Anyway, here's the rest of the ingredients:

If you can find arare (seasoned mochi rice cracker puffs aka mochi crunch or kaki mochi) locally, it's probably much cheaper, a few dollars for 4-5 servings per package.

Then you need furikake mix, specifically nori komi furikake. Or this brand's Aji nori furikake. I get a jar of this for less than $5 and it lasts a long time.

Make popcorn, sprinkle arare and furikake, any hot spice you want.

Good luck!

I will try and also try to maintain formatting lol now I really want Rice Rollers they are not owl shaped but they are really yummy

1. I had so much of these in Japan so I bought some on amazon when I came home to Ireland. They are Daifuku! Kind of like a cookie dough consistency, containing a thick jam.
   
2. I am obsessed with jelly belly beans
   
3. Thanks for the competition :3
   
   

They have some soy sauce rice crackers (see ingredient label in photos) that is amazing with the jalapeno pub cheese. The spicy/umami soy flavor goes really well with the jalapeno cheese.

Nikkei here. The mochi ice cream was invented based off the daifuku and gyūhi popular in Nikkei wagashi shops. If you're near a city with a Japantown, see if there are traditional sweet shops, or you could order some generic mass-produced ones online: https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Fruits-Daifuku-Rice-strawberry/dp/B000TRHKGG or https://www.amazon.com/Royal-Family-Japanese-Mochi-Daifuku/dp/B003SPM64C

Well, you can definitely order them through Amazon!

Here is the link.

I am gluten free, and I absolutely love everything from this company. I wouldn't mind getting some of those or these suckers either ;) I have a new obsession with sour gummies, but It's totally up to you!! nomalicious

I really love these:
http://www.amazon.com/Harvest-Stone-Chickpea-Crackers-567grams/dp/B01APVTXB0/ref=lp_14030906011_tnr_p_2_6524484011_1_a_it?srs=14030906011&ie=UTF8&qid=1459358656&sr=8-2

Do you have pricing on Nori Maki?


https://www.amazon.com/JFC-Arare-crackers-wrapped-seaweed/dp/B0006G1K9I

I love these and can get them at a shop near by, but they are very expensive. The amazon link is the brand I usually buy

A alot of snacks here are from neighbouring countries like malaysia and stuff, but these , these and these. <3

Also, we have these mostly during chinese new year, but it's sold all year round and is freaking awesome. :D

As /u/themclavicles said, they're little rice crackers which are salty-sweet, you get two in a packet and they're 29cal per packet. These are the ones I have today, there are also some circular shaped ones which have a sort of icing speckled over the top and are also very nice.

These rice crackers are relatively low in calories (and gluten free if that matters).

https://www.amazon.com/Ka-Me-Crackers-Original-Ounce-Packages/dp/B000EPP56U

You could buy flax seed crackers or make your own.

Here are some rice crackers

There's a thing called Crunchy Rice Rollers by Bamboo Lane. They're basically puffed rice held together with a mixture of cane juice, rice syrup and agar. Very cruncy, 45 cal ea. http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Lane-Crunchy-Rollers-Ounce/dp/B00FGKJQPE

Want-Want Senbei Rice Crackers

These are delicious

Now I'm hungry
