so im a big fan of cheez-its. i don't eat them regularly and when i do its in strict moderation (i actually count them out! :-x ).
but even still i am open to finding something that's healthier, yet still tasty/crunchy/satisfying with just a handful or two.
something kind of in the same cracker-y, including (but not limited to) cheesy - type snacks?
other snacks in general would be great too.
thanks!

Started NutriSystem on 3/10/07 to lose weight. Continue to weight train and adding more cardio. Primary goal is to drop the weight. Once the weight is off, then I will intensify the strength training.

Late July Cheese Crackers
1 oz snack has 130 v 144 for Sunshine's cheez-its, and only has 6gm fat compared to 7.2. They are also fully organic.
They are little more salty than regular cheez-its.

My fitness regimen includes stationary cycling, light weight training and lots of walking around NYC. I'm a graduate of WeightWatchers and an enthusiastic advocate of its balanced approach to weight loss. I'm sure that I drink too much coffee and get too little sleep. :)
My goals are to maintain my weight in a healthy BMI/BF % range and forestall the toll of advancing age. :)
I think Traineo's established a great community and appreciate the support and information we share.

I'm a big fan of the multi-grain nuggets produced by Benzel's Pretzels. They're low-fat and, because they're small, you get 11 or so per portion size.

I really like Kashi TLC crackers in Country Cheddar. I'm a huge Cheez-it fan, too, and as heretical saying something like this is, I think that TLC crackers taste a lot better. They're very savory and the cheese taste isn't artificial.
They only have 4.5g fat and aren't organic, but are all natural.

I second the Kashi TLC crackers. They're really good. You can get them cheap if you have a Trader Joe's nearby you.

there isn't a trader joes super close but there's one near my mom's house, i guess that's an excuse to go visit her - and perhaps to stock up!

one of my vices is Wheat Thins (reduced fat)...
better than potato chips... i suppose....
and it has the word Thin in the product name... so it must be healthy

Mmm. Cheeeeeese.
I like Baked Cheetos. The little bags are 120cal and 4.5g fat, not the best nutrition, but crunchy, salty and cheesy enough for me to have on occasion. I think they taste quite close to regular cheetos. Especially satisfying if eaten slowly to get all that cheese taste ;) My grocery store sells large bags of the small bags of the Baked Frito Lay line. If I buy the big bag of anything its trouble unless I force myself to portion out everything into little baggies.
I also eat Trader Joes 100 calorie pack cheese crackers. (Also 4.5 g of fat)
Their light string cheese is excellent too.

Looking to add some muscle over the next few months. Trying to get in those calories and focusing on the compound lifts. We'll see how it all goes :)
