    OMG I'm addicted to the sour cream & onion flavor. I need to check out the Special K ones too.

    If I really want to have potato chips, I have potato chips - I just measure them, log them and work them into my day.

    If products like this work for you, that's awesome but for myself I found that a lot of these higher carb, lower fat substitutes just left me less satisfied and more hungry.

    Do these help keep you full with the added protein? If so I'll have to have a go at some of these.

    The Special K chips are very good but the sour cream and onion Popchips are even better! Both brands are very satisfying to me because they taste good and the serving size is a descent amount... 20 something chips.

    Those Special K Cracker Chips are a slightly healthier alternative to the Lay's in the yellow bag. Rice cakes - if you like them - are also great for a crunch...but I am aware that a lot of people don't like them.

    But nothing tastes like the Lay's in the yellow bag. There really is no substitute for them. Lord, how I miss those things. I can practically taste them, just thinking about them, lol.

    I was not a fan of the special K cracker chips. I tried the salt and vinegar ones. Idk, I just couldn't get behind them.

    I started eating Veggie Chips though, still give me the crunch of a chip, but they aren't as greasy as regular potato chips. I still eat potato chips on occasion, but not as frequently as I used to.

    And calorie wise there is not that much of a difference. the Special K sour cream and union is 120 cal for 30g and the lays in the yellow bag is 160 cal for 28g. When having a snack like this I dont care about fat numbers or protein. Just calories.

    If I want some I will, I don't like depriving myself. I'm not big chip eater, either. ;)
