How much energy in crackers?

For time-poor people, crackers are a convenient and healthy snack on the go, but just how much energy are we taking in? Healthy Food Guide checks them out.

We compared a serve size, around 2-4 crackers, to a slice of multi grain bread.

One sandwich slice of an average multi grain bread has about 380kJ.
