I love chips and salsa! I feel like its a good "junk" food that I can pick up at the store when we go for a snack.
Do you think its a good choice? I always try to get the multigrain chips, they taste so good, and buy a thing of salsa, (I love Salsa). It shouldn't be that bad for you, should it? The salsa is all veggies...

    Try the baked chips, less calories, with salsa you don't notice the difference in taste.

    Yumm. Chips and Salsa. I don't think there is a problem as long as you measure and count for it! Also, veggies and salsa are good snacks too! Enjoy - now where's that margarita??

    Try this slimmer version

    Get some corn tortillas
    Preheat oven to 350.

    Spray both sides of tortillas with non stick spray. Cut into strip (chips).
    Bake for 15 mins or until golden and crunchy. Salt to taste.

    You can get 2 tortillas for 80 calories and makes quite a few chips for less calories!


    Enjoy

    Most salsas don't amount to very many calories

    Hahahaha....

    I DO eat tortilla chips and salsa or gauc at least once a week, and love it! Just work it into your calories / normal life.... I didn't indulge too much during the losing phase though....

    Occasional chips won't hurt you, just don't eat the whole bag! I made black bean salsa for a work potluck and brought whole grain chips and also celery. I ate 3 chips and 3 sticks of celery with the salsa. I think it was a good choice.
