The crackers in diets and how to make them low in calories

Moreover, the most common is that we have doubts about what foods may or may not be consumed, especially for its fat content and calories, even when our diet is supervised by a dietitian.
And why do these doubts arise? Basically, even though our dietitian or nutritionist advises us in the follow-up of the diet, exposing us what foods we should eat every day (something that is established from a dietary menu), when we follow a certain diet of slimming it is usual that in many occasions let's know what would be better to eat. Or, which is the same, if the food or food product that we have in our hands could be suitable or not.
