    Taking a short break from thinking about Atkins chocolate bars which I'm not convinced are healthy, let alone low carb.

    The idea behind researching these products is that people who low carb long term or who find low carbing difficult, sometimes want to feel normal and have a treat without getting terribly off track. So squares of a 14g/100g Lindt 90% chocolate bar (as opposed to a 54g/100g milk chocolate bar) can help with that. As can 4.8g/100g peanut butter or two scoops of ice cream at 11.1g for the two. Quorn products can be low carb, there is a list of stuff earlier in the thread.

    Soo.. fish fingers..

    Tips so far..not listing anything over 20g/100g.. look at price per kg as some big packs more expensive per kg..also when you look at carbs per 3 fingers look at total weight of the 3 because it seems fingers vary in weight and size too !

    Please note that only offers shown on Morrisons website, not full range. Have only looked at ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose and will update if I see further offers elsewhere.

    NO fish fingers over 20g/100g carbs or 20g/3 fingers listed.

    Cheapest fish fingers was a tie 2.40/kg ie 60p for a 250g pack of 10 fish fingers -
    Tesco Value fish fingers, 3.9g carbs per grilled finger or 7.9 for two
    ASDA Smartprice fish fingers, 9.1g carbs per 2 fish fingers

    Lowest carb fish fingers were
    1st - ASDA Chosen By You 36 Omega 3 fish fingers 900g £3 (3.33/kg) at 11.4g for 3 fingers ie 3.8g carbs each
    2nd - Tesco Value 10 fish fingers 250g 3.9g carbs per finger 60p (2.40/kg)
    3rd- Young's Omega 3 fish fingers 7.9g carbs per two fingers £1 (£4/kg) ASDA
    4th - Sainsbury's Basics 10 fish fingers 8.6g per two fingers, 250g 70p (2.80kg)

    Cheapest low carb fish fingers were therefore Tesco Value 10 fish fingers 250g 3.9g per fish finger 60p (2.40/kg)
