I LOVE chips of all kinds, Potato chips, Doritos, Cheetos, etc. bit am trying to find alternatives for when those cravings hit.
What do you eat instead of chips when you are craving that crunchy, salty goodness?

Just eat some when you want. If you deny yourself something completely it's going to make this much harder. Work on portion control.0

Bump. I am interested in this also.... though I know most will probably suggest Kale chips... I hate kale though, bleh.0

Over time I have noticed that bad eating habits have dropped off as I have pursued good habits.
Maybe anticipate times/circumstances where you will tend to indulge, and make sure you are doing/eating SOMETHING ELSE!
Agree with above poster that eating a little is certainly fine, over-indulging is not fine.0 -
My favorite chip substitute lately: Carrots with hummus. Carrots give the crunch, hummus gives the salty/savory (and the flavor variation). The carrots take longer to chew and you feel FULL before you can over eat. If you DO overeat, you've over eaten on something with nutritional value, so it's the lesser of two evils.0

Have you tried eating some pretzels? They can be salty, and the tiny hard card aren't too terrible for you (if I'm reading the labels correctly).0

Pop chips0

I love popcorn! I buy the big bags of kernels and pop them in the microwave in a micropopper but I know some people just pop it in paper bags.0

Air popped popcorn isn't a bad option. No fat, 31c per cup. You can sprinkle some salt or other seasoning on it. I usually have a good sized bowl 2-3x a week.0

My absolute favorite crunchy/salty snack are Special K popcorn chips in the sea salt flavor. 30 chips for only 130 calories. I eat them almost every day! Also good are their cracker chips in the honey barbeque flavor0

chips were a big thing for me. if i'm craving chips, i go for rico's cheddar cheese popcorn. still not great for you, but it's at least air popped and cheesy/salty. perfect replacement for sour cream and cheese chips for me.0

I will sometimes opt for cucumber slices.0

Popchips - Katy's kettle corn or Salt and Vinegar..0

Trader Joe's Inner Peas are so good... as someone mentioned prior about pretzels, try some pretzel thins with hummus. So good! And kale chips, lastly, are delicious and don't even taste like kale if prepared properly0

Popcorn or veggies with hummus, it's the crunch that you're addicted to. Both of these options can be very healthy and a great snack!!!0

Cabbage with Spike or Lemon Pepper seasoning.
You have to get it wet first so the seasoning will stick.
Also popcorn but limit the butter.0 -
pop chips, its true. they are good.0

I made kale chips once. It was a lot of work, and they weren't great. I'll never do it again! I agree that air popped popcorn is good. I spray it with zero calorie cooking spray and shake on seasoning salt and Tabasco sauce. Yum!0

KALE CHIPS!!!!! SOOOO GOOOD!! put popcorn seasoning on them. Just be careful baking them. Well worth them, though. :laugh:0
