What is this food?
Marie cookies (sweet biscuits), usually eaten as a snack or with coffee/tea.
Why it matters to health
Per 100 g, Marie cookies are calorie-dense (421 kcal) and higher in carbohydrates and added sugar (77.1 g carbs; 21.9 g sugar). They also contain fat (8.9 g) with more saturated fat (4.45 g) and sodium (402 mg). Eating them in small, planned portions can still fit into a balanced day—especially if you pair them with a meal or choose them as your occasional snack. Too much too often may make it harder to manage energy intake, and frequent higher sugar + saturated fat can affect long-term heart health and blood sugar control.
Healthier tips
- Portion first: keep it to about 1 small pack/serving or roughly 20–30 g (check the label) instead of eating straight from the box.
- Pair it: have cookies with milk or yogurt, or add a piece of fruit to balance the snack.
- Mind the timing: if you already had a sweet snack, choose something less sweet for the next one (aim for 1–2 snacks/day only).
- Choose alternatives sometimes: swap with whole wheat crackers, oat-based snacks, or nuts (small portion) when available.
- Watch sodium: if you also eat salty snacks (chips, instant noodles), reduce cookies that day.
