Best rice cakes, chips & crackers according to redditors

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

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.
  

Kotsubukko; Fried rice crackers;

Mild soy sauce flavor with a hint of honey

https://www.amazon.com/Kameda-Kotsubukko-Fried-Crackers-4-37oz/dp/B01N562GB5?th=1

Well, you can definitely order them through Amazon!

Here is the link.

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

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.

Want-Want Senbei Rice Crackers

I bought this case of Austin's Cookies and Crackers for like $7 bucks. 2nd place goes to a $5 ribeye and $6 NY Strip.

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

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

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.

My roommate made buffalo chicken dip last night with these flaxseed crackers she found on sale that were 1g net carb per serving and weren't that bad with dip. Though at some point we gave up on and just ate it straight after a while.

These are my fave.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

I found basically these (https://www.amazon.com/Sekero-rice-cake-Korean-Ovaletts/dp/B001AD8C2O ) rice cakes/medallions at an Asian grocery store the other day. My boyfriend and I think they would make amazing scallops with the right marinade. The texture is what we remember to be similar!

I think you would enjoy these.

As for me, I'm a Seahawks fan!

Congrats on getting free 6-months of Prime!

Not ice cream, Mochi daifuku!
They make a green tea flavor as well. I prefer the red bean, but if you've never had it before, the texture can be really off-putting.

Now I'm hungry

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
Drizzilicious Birthday Cake 4oz 6 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GBDWJXN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vB2tDbH6VW54P

China, Taiwan, Japan have variants.

​

definitely not a western invention.

late night munchies are the best and worst! I have [this] (http://www.amazon.com/JFC-Arare-crackers-wrapped-seaweed/dp/B0006G1K9I/ref=sr_1_3?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1368692033&sr=1-3&keywords=seaweed+rice+snack) on my wishlist. I am obsessed with these.

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

These are delicious

The rice rolls are sweet and crunchy. I get them at Costco
https://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Lane-Organic-Crunchy-Rollers/dp/B01MRD01EM

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
   
   

Well, it depends on what you need:

I think Kim's Magic Pop is similar. It comes in a bunch of different flavors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007TKWEVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_p0RYAb18D1EEB

SO I've been doing my janky diet version of a cinnamon-something. I'll put cinnamon on a Magic Pop. It's been getting me through my sweet cravings big time.

You could buy flax seed crackers or make your own.

I found 1, 2, 3 and 4 on co.uk. No Red Bean currently unfortunately!

1, 2, 3 and 4 on .com. Bunch of more expensive seeming ones there too, but I only had a quick gander

Here are some rice crackers
