Advantages: Easy to count calories, helps weight control

Disadvantages: Taste, texture, calories are not that low

WeightWatchers products are marketed to people wanting to lose or maintain their weight. These cookies are 87 calories for an individual wrap of 2 double chocolate chip cookies! Not bad, and easy to work out the calories.

There are a few downsides to this product. First of all, they really don't taste like cookies, and barely taste like chocolate. They are a bit sweet, but would not satisfy my sweet tooth if I really fancied a chocolaty biscuit. The cookies also have a lot of fibre in them - which is a good thing, but they taste like they have a lot of fibre in them, which is not a good thing. They are a bit crumbly and sawdust-y, which I guess you expect from low-fat biscuits.

The problem is that they are not particularly low fat when compared to, say, ginger nuts, digestives or custard creams - especially if you go for a low-fat variety. A lot of biscuits are 50ish calories per biscuit and will make the sweetest tooth happy.

The only advantage to these weight watcher biscuits is that they are wrapped in packages of 2 so you can't scoff half a packet with a cup of tea 'by mistake'.

Expensive (80p for 12 biscuits), don't taste great and don't look appealing. But if they help you to control your willpower and get your weight under control - I say give them a go. If you crave sweetness and this is all you have in your cupboard, they will do nicely.

Summary: If they help - go for it. If you have willpower, get something tastier.
