Not really high consequence, but I bought a packet of ‘Nice’ biscuits, because they’re cheap and I don’t like em much, which should reduce the rate I eat them. But just looked at the calories 41 for a single tiny biscuit!!
Which means 2.5 crappy little biscuits equal the yummyness of a packet of French Fries! – which I now want to eat, but I can’t as the shop’s shut. Which isn’t nice.
On the back of the packet there’s a link to a website –

Which tells me that a digestive and a packet of hula-hoops is better than an apple.
Brilliant news!!
A digestive biscuit has 0.5g of fibre and 1.1g of protein. It also contains calcium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin.
As a comparison, an apple contains 2g of fibre and 0.3g of protein. It also contains calcium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin A and vitamin C.
A 25g pack of Hula Hoops contains 0.5g of fibre and 0.8g of protein. The 7.2g of fat accounts for 8% of the GDA on fat for a man but potato hoops also contain calcium and iron as well as vitamins A and C.
