I get these random cravings for khara biscuits with chai, especially evening time. its a bit oily and salty so wondering if its fine to have during pregnancy or should i cut down. anyone?
I practically lived on khara biscuits and chai during my first trimester because they really helped with my morning sickness. It was completely fine for me, but check how your stomach reacts to them.
I was so worried about the baking soda and salt content in them, thinking it might cause swelling! If you are anxious, just have 1-2 biscuits with your tea and avoid eating too many at once.
They are fine to eat in moderation, but since they have high salt, keep an eye on your blood pressure. I had to monitor my thyroid and BP regularly, so my doctor suggested limiting packaged snacks.
They are perfectly fine for a light snack when you feel nauseous. Just ensure you are eating balanced meals otherwise, and keep your doctor updated on your diet.
While they are safe to eat, keep in mind they are made of maida and have high sodium content. It's always best to balance them with healthier snacks, as advised by nutritionists.
