How  Many Calories are present in Biscuit?

The calories in biscuits vary from one brand to another and from one type of biscuit to the next. Typically, 1 biscuit weighing from 25 to 100 grams can contain around 90 to 360 calories or so. You can get more information about the calories in the type of biscuit you are buying from the packaging itself. Biscuit manufacturers are required to disclose this information along with other nutritional values of the food item. Get to know more about the calories in different types of biscuits in this article.  

A lot of items might add biscuits to it, particularly the DIY cakes and no-bake baked goods that you see on social media today. You can take a tally of exactly how many calories are going into these items by using our measures provided above - however, a more foolproof way is to look at the nutritional values given on the packaging. Not the front of the packaging, but the back, where the manufacturer is supposed to (as per the law) be completely honest about ingredients and nutritional values due to health implications. Note that manufacturers are allowed to say “for weight loss”  or “zero added sugar” in their advertising, and the front of the packaging can contain such claims, but the reverse of your packet of biscuits has all the honest answers you need. 

1. Not bad, unless you overdo it

We have various types of biscuits available in the market today - glucose biscuits, high fibre biscuits, and so on. Although these biscuits are good for your health, consuming too many of them is not the ideal thing to do.

2. Choose wisely

If you frequently munch on biscuits but are looking to improve your health and reduce your consumption of maida and sugar, you can look at whole grains or nuts as seeds as an alternative to eating biscuits. 

3. Don't fall for gimmicks

Store-bought protein bars and granola are no different from biscuits in terms of their sugar content  (as you’ll discover when you read the reverse of their packaging). You can try to make cookies at home with nuts, seeds and whole grains.

When it comes to biscuits, the calories per piece are enough for most people to say goodbye to them altogether - except for certain cheat days of the course. After all, you only live once. Keep cheat days to the minimum, however, and if you must have a biscuit with your chai, try and choose one that is minimal in its contribution to calories -Visit a nearby supermarket that sells a whole variety of biscuits, read the reverse of packaging and make the right choice. Alternatively, some online grocers also let you read the reverse of packaging or nutritional information in the product descriptions.

Say no to biscuits and other high sugar, high refined flour items to keep your health at optimal levels. Just realised that the clock is ticking and that you’re on the other side of 40 and that you should take care of your health to safeguard your health and your family’s future? Or did all that lockdown eating result in you getting a hard reality check at your last round of tests? Either way, eat healthy, keep up annual checkups and yes, get health insurance as a means to securing your health and eliminating financial stress in the event of a hospitalisation crisis. Choose from among the best health insurance plans at Bajaj Markets.
