White rice crackers
So light, so airy—rice crackers and cakes are the ultimate diet snack food cliché. But, when made with white rice, these surprisingly unhealthy foods lack fiber and can be high in sodium. What’s more, white rice crackers are actually considered carb dense, meaning they have a high ratio of carb grams relative to their weight. (Carb-dense foods can alter the balance of your gut flora and trigger inflammation.)
A plain rice cake weighs only 9 grams but 80 percent of it is carbohydrate. In comparison, a small potato—which many people think is a “bad” carb—weighs 170 grams but only 23 percent is carbohydrate.
