I live in Mexico, so many of the commercial products are not available here. These crackers are pretty yummy though, and was wondering how many would be allowed for an E meal? I use them to scoop food with (kind of like chips) . They come inpackages of 3 crackers, the serving size is one cracker: total carbs: 6 grams total fiber: 2.5 grams total protein: 1.5 grams and ZERO SUGAR!! Gluten free. ingredient list in English , but it doesnt have the amount of corn versus cactus, I would love to know...

And I did read the post about amounts in the FAQ section. I am wondering since these are made from corn/cactus, where exactly do they fall? I know corn is a starchy vegetable... From the FAQ section: "Carbs limits to E meals are explained very clearly in our E Meal chapter. We recommend never going over that 45 gram limit. Some people with more insulin resistance cannot even do that much. Mamas with PCOS or thyroid issues (which make dropping weight more difficult) may need to scale their carbs back even more in E meals. For instance, instead of having a full ¾ cup of quinoa or rice in the Nicey Ricey Salad (page 304) these women should use no more than ½ cup of the starch and sometimes less than that. They would need to fill up more on the non starchy veggies, include enough protein (although there is no need to go overboard) and if still hungry can add a Fuel Pull smoothie. Carbs in S meals are easy. So long as you are only using non starchy veggies or a small amount of berries, with your S meals, you don't need to count. Any add on grain would be an S helper and we have already given number amounts for those. The exception are some low carb products, like Joseph's pitas. With low carb products like these, you only have to make sure that your low carb product keeps into similar stats as non starchy veggies and we mention that those usually come in somewhere between 2-6 net carbs per serving. Sometimes, you may want to eat more than one serving of those, just as you may often want to eat more than one serving of non starchy veggies and that’s usually okay. We never put restrictions on non starchy veggies but try not to go overboard with low carb products too often. Read more: trimhealthymama.freeforums.net/thread/518/number-guidelines#ixzz3w7fMN2bE"

1 pkg of 3 crackers: Fat is 1 g Carbs 6 g Fiber 3 g
These look like a fuel pull cracker! You could eat 3 crackers and be in FP mode! Or add it to an E or S meal.
Unless I'm missing something.
