What this plate gives you
Low-fat cottage cheese is about 11 g of protein per 100 g, so 150 g on two rice cakes is a 17 g snack at 191 calories, under 10 percent of a 2,000-calorie day, with 4 g of fat. The rice cakes are the 22 g of carbohydrate. Chives, black pepper and a few cherry tomatoes cost nothing in the numbers and make it a plate.
Swaps
- Wholegrain crackers: about 3 g more fibre.
- Full-fat cottage cheese: about 40 more calories.
- Sliced cucumber on top: no change worth counting.
Keeping it
Assemble when you eat; rice cakes soften under cottage cheese within ten minutes.
