Health tip IX: Choose your biscuits wisely

Okay, who doesn't love biscuits? Don't lie, I know you do. There are hundreds of them, one for every kind of person; buttery, chocolatey,  sugary, rounded, star-shaped, creamy... and we would eat them all if we could! Well, who says we can't? In moderation, everything should be alright. Don't go eating twenty Oreo biscuits a day if you want to maintain your figure, though. That's a total no-go. 

Biscuits are perfect for either breakfast or as an afternoon snack. However, we should always be wise when buying them. My tips:

• Buy them in small packages; this way you will always know how many calories you're eating. For instance, Oreo and other brands have what they call 'snack packs', bags of about 120 kcal each. They are perfect and you can carry them everywhere! 
• If your favourite biscuit doesn't come in a small pack, you should always be sensible about  how many you're going to eat. Eat four or five, don't eat forty.
• Tea biscuits are amazing if you're feeling peckish. They're not as tasty a biscuit as the chocolate ones, but they're much less caloric. (Mc.Vitie's tea biscuits have around 38 kcal each, whereas any chocolate-chip biscuit has around 55 kcal.) Keep it in mind when you're buying!

Again, you're not on a diet. You're free to eat whatever you please. However, be sensible and wise, choose whatever you think is best for you and your health and, of course, enjoy it as much as you can!
