What makes these cookies 'low-carb' compared with regular chocolate biscuits? — Low-carb cookies Snaq Fabriq glazed Chocolate with hazelnuts 35g.

Regular chocolate biscuits are usually made mainly from wheat flour and sugar, which are rapidly digested carbohydrates. In this SNAQ FABRIQ cookie, the base is different: whey protein concentrate provides protein, while peanuts and hazelnuts add fats and texture. Instead of a large amount of sugar, sweetness comes from erythritol and sucralose, and water-soluble corn fiber and oligofructose from chicory add bulk with less digestible carbohydrate than standard flour.

That combination means the cookie has a lighter carbohydrate profile than a typical chocolate biscuit, while still tasting sweet and dessert-like. However, 'low-carb' does not mean zero-carb: nuts, milk components and the chocolate glaze all contain some carbohydrates. Check the nutrition table on the pack for the exact amounts per 35 g cookie.

Because the product contains sweeteners and added fibers, it may not suit everyone. If you are not used to polyols or high-fiber snacks, start with a small amount and see how you feel, especially before exercise or a long trip.
