Recently started the 5:2 diet and looking for new ideas for fast days. Can someone tell me which oatcakes are the ones referred to in the snack section. I love Derbyshire oatcakes but feel sure these will be too high in calories.

Is this in The Fast Diet book? I really don't know. I would guess Nairn's or similar Scottish oatcakes.

Paterson's are the nicest oatcakes and are palm oil free, so good for orangutans.
You can get them off Amazon if you can't find them. They're about 50 cals each and I like them or crisp breads as my small lunch.

Some of the 'Rude Health' oatcakes and oatie thins are quite tasty... unfortunately, they're also reasonably pricey but I guess if you're not having many and want to really enjoy what you're eating, it's not a bad thing. Their 'thins' are about 25 calories a thin and their oatcakes are around 50.
I just use the Tesco own brand ones, they're 45 calories each.
I don't believe (but I could be wrong) that one brand is good and a different one is bad - the nutritional content should be on the label, and really on 5:2 its all about the calories.

Home made are THE best! And you know exactly what's in them. And they're dead easy. Not sure about the calorie count though...

A quick google reveals that Derbyshire oatcakes are more like crepes or pancakes. I think it's the Scottish type that the book refers to.
