eek! potato chips

Is a small bag of potato chips really 1200 calories???? It came free with my lunch. I shouldn't have eaten them. What a ditz!!! Almost my whole days allotment. Guess I know which way my ticker will be going tomorrow morning. Damn!!!! Maybe they mean a large bag is 1200. Not sure what 8 0z is. The bag is long gone.

most chips are 150 calories, 8-10 grams of fat per 1 oz. So if you ate 1200 calories worth that would mean an 8oz. bag. Have you tried Baked Lays? Fat Free Pringles are not too bad except where the fat won't kill you the sodium will! Uggh!

I had a bag of doritos and it was shy of 490 so your small bag probably is close to that or less.

Don't be so hard on yourself... I buy Pringles 100 calorie snacks. I use them to kill cravings since I never have a sweet tooth and always crave salty snacks.

The small bag that came with your lunch can't be 1200 calories. That seems like WAY too much.

thanks for all your answers. I guess when I get to work tomorrow, I will take that small bag out of the garbage and have a look. Thanks again. I am not usually a potato chip eater.

Me too!! No way it could have been 1200 calories- maybe a regular sized bag, but a small lunch sized bag? no way.
