In many dieting scenarios, a major dilemma faces nutritionists regarding the “base” of meals or snacks that should be consumed throughout the day to keep the metabolism active: Can bread be effectively replaced by another product?
The answer is: Rice cakes from Crispy King!
Rice cakes are an excellent source of carbohydrates, making them a strong competitor to bread or crackers. Let’s compare the two to see their respective advantages and disadvantages.
Bread
Bread is primarily made from wheat, which may not be suitable for those looking to limit wheat in their diet. While a slice of bread may offer more nutrients per serving than a single rice cake, it also contains three times the calories.
Rice Cakes
Rice cakes provide a similar crunch to crackers but offer a greater sense of satiety (fullness) more quickly—a significant plus for weight management. They are much lower in calories than bread. To put it into perspective, for every single slice of bread, you can enjoy three rice cakes!
