Trade chips for wheat thins

KaylaKilgore

Anyone trade their chips (grippos, cheetos, exc) for wheat thins?
What do you think about them?
I get the Wheat Thins reduced fat, I love them!

I do the same. I love reduced fat Wheat Thins with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese!

I trade mine for Pop chips sometimes, but mostly Triscuits thin crisps or pretzel thins.

Hint of Salt Wheat Thins are my weakness! I cant keep a box in my house or ill eat the whole box in a sitting!

Wheat Thins and Triscuits I tend to over eat.... don't know why. Just can't control myself. I can sit with a block of cheese, a box of triscuits, a bottle of wine... and polish it all off.

I am a BIG FAN of the "Food Should Taste Good" chips when I need something crunchy. They have a little fiber, a little protein. I count out my 10 chips and have them with a laughing cow wedge. Nummies!

I'm able to resist potato chips recently (though they were a big cause of my original weight gain), what I find myself still missing is chips and salsa.

I know salsa is still healthy if you buy it fresh (packaged salsa contains about a billion milligrams of sodium) but I haven't been able to find something tasty to eat the salsa with (no, I will not eat salsa with wheat thins or pop chips ). Baked tortilla chips aren't all that healthy and also taste like cardboard, I have found.

Anyone have any ideas?

I like Wheat Thins but I love Triscuits especially rosemary and olive oil or cracked black pepper and olive oil. I also like the suggested toppings on the back of the box.

I like the mini quaker rice crackers - 130 cal for 18ish (I do 30 g) and quite yummy!

I can also polish off a block of cheese and box of crackers so I try to avoid being in that situation... :-/

As for salsa - I really like the La Flavorita chips (1 oz = 60 cal, that's a lot of chips) but alternatives could be celery, cucumber "chips", cheese, etc... it depends on the type of salsa and how much I plan to eat - mini rice cakes could also work, the plain ones at least...unless you like the spices then look for the sea salt and pepper or the tomato basil...

I tend to sub pretzels for chips. Rold Gold Fat Free Tiny Twists, 100 or 110 calories per serving (about 18 pieces), are my new favorite crunchy snack.

Me too!!! I had to stop buying them......they are just as addicted as chips.

I don't really eat plain salsa but I love salsa mixed 1:1 with low sodium cottage cheese. I'll eat it with celery but even with baked chips it's yummy enough to eat.

have you tried Nut Thins yet? They are crackers made out of nuts, so good.

Try these: Special K cracker crisps in Sour cream and onion flavor. 27 chips = 90 calories.

Oh just found out they have nut chips as well

My new fave "chips" are Special K's new cracker crisps. For 30 chips it's only like 90 calories and they taste so good with a texture very close to a regular chip!

Sorry, not Kellog's but Special K...

I tried the Sea Salt because I wasn't paying attention when I bought them and thought they were salt and vinegar. I was disappointed with the flavor of the plain but they were nice and crunchy. I may need to try some of the flavors at some point.
