I eat one or two bags of chips each day - these are not wholegrain but standard chips or quavers or air popped ones
I buy multipack crisps (chips) that are already portioned into 19-25g packets .. they are 85 to 125 calories each

0.6 lb is the difference between poop and no poop. It's really no big deal.0

Yup; you are temporarily gaining water from the extra salt typically in processed foods. Neither here nor there for fat loss. This last shopping trip I bought a container of Pringles on a whim. I eat four chips at a sitting, so that can is going to be around for a while. I checked the side of the container and their recommended serving is fourteen chips. No way I need that many. Four chips is forty calories. Easily fit in.
I also have lots of fresh foods/minimally processed foods during the day. A salad at lunch today. It all evens out.0 -

I had bigger meals this past weekend and this Monday I was up by a pound. By Tuesday, I was down a pound. On trendweight, I showed a steady, daily 0.2lb loss for the past week.0 -
I have notice that if I decide to add any processed food to my diet, next day, that scale will show. I am on a 1220 daily calorie, and yesterday decided to add a few whole wheat pita chips, within my daily calories. Jesus, today that scale went up .6 lb. So frustrating
processed foods tend to be high in sodium which causes water retention...water has mass and thus weight...not everything is fat.
weight loss and weight management in general is about trends, not the weigh in to weigh in. most people can fluctuate with changes in water and waste by 3-5 Lbs day to day. wrap your head around it.0 -
Being that bent out of shape over the slightest increase on the number on the scale is not a healthy approach or the proper mindset to have.0

Put a bunch of fruit in a blender hit go. Organic whole natural food is now "processed"....into a smoothie.0

Yes, because bagged
Is kind of hard to eat chips when you are on this journey. When you open a bag of chips that last thing on your mind if to get a scale and weight either one portion or half portion, which is what I did. I weighted only 1/2 a portion. I remember when I was not logging my food and just eating I could eat the whole bag.
I eat chips, ice cream, and oreos and have no issues....0 -

That's why I don't keep chips in the house. Doesn't mean I don't eat them, though. Sometimes I will really be craving chips, so I hit up the gas station near my house and get one of the small bags. Yeah, they're usually 2 servings not one, but that's a hell of a lot better then opening a big bag of about 20 servings and finishing it without realizing.0 -
Yep. Clean eating will show you a cleaner weight on the scale. It's all so fascinating isn't it?0

It doesn't for me. I have a horrible diet and lost plenty with it. If you don't enjoy the food you're eating, what's the point? Other posters above are right: it's mostly likely water weight.0 -

Harrybananas is somebody's attention-seeking troll account.0 -
Methinks the 'cleaner weight' comment might be sarcasm.
