Substitutions that are healthy and yummy - I miss chips and crackers:(

I name homemade chips. Cut thin slices of potatoes or sweet potatoes and bake in oven after tossing in canola or coconut oil. They are good. I only cook an oz and that is usually the c serving size any way

If you want the chips - only make and eat half a sandwich. The key to losing weight is to adapt your previous eating habits that caused you to gain weight. You don't need to give up food items, just eat less of them to fit into your new calorie reality.

(I'm not even going to comment on the 1200 calories.........)

I love the snack size bags of Popchips or Pirate's booty.

I love chips. I love crackers. I understand what you're wanting.

I have found air-popped popcorn with plenty of salt to be a good substitute. Lower calories, more nutrients than chips -- and you can have quite a bit of it for the same calories. I had to adjust to the air-popped, no-butter version, but now I really enjoy it.

That's a lot of protein! I'm always looking for more protein sources. I'll have to look for these

I like making crackers out of Josephs Lavash flat bread. It's 50 calories per serving but sometimes I do 2 servings. I use a pizza cutter and cut it into small cracker sizes then bake. If you want seasoning without adding many calories, brush with a little water then sprinkle spices and/or salt on. Otherwise, do the same with a little olive oil instead of water. Watch it though because this bread gets crisp fast! They are light and crispy and work for me.

I dont know when I want chips, I just dont think I have the patience to cook them I try to find the close to healthiest and what will fit my calories intake for the day and eat it.
