    Baked Lays,
    Baked Cheetos,
    Trader Joe's Roasted Seaweed Snack

    I made homemade baked wonton skins once
    ... got the recipe from Eating Well Magazine,
    They were way yummy!!!

    I've heard Kale Chips aren't hard to make, but I've never done it.

    100 calorie bag of popcorn. You can get light butter or kettle corn so you have salty and sweet options.

    ^^^ This! This stuff is good! OR I found these things called "Pretzel Crisps" that come in different flavors and they are pretty similar to chips. (You can have like 11 of them for 110 calories) and they aren't tiny...so you don't feel like you aren't getting enough of them.

    Popchips rock! My favorite is the sweet potato flavor but the jalapeno or salt and vinegar are really good too.

    Special K cracker crisps 110 calories for 30 chips.

    These and pretzels are good alternatives.
    If you're wanting a healthier alternative, fruit. Or cooked veggies since you don't like raw. Or nuts. :)

    ^^^THIS!!! We only have Sea Salt, Reg Veggie flavor & Apple Crisp. I've never seen the Sweet BBQ or Cheddar Cheese. We love them!!! I usually buy 2-3 bags a month. My kids would rather eat these than regular chips, Cheetos, or Doritos.

    Special K - Sour Cream and Onion Chips are good. As well Costco has Veggie Chips which are also good and filling too.

    This is a lifestyle change...I am not so much changing what I eat but how much I eat...

    I am addicted to chips but have found the "Lights" to be great!
    Lays has some lights...originals and ruffles...as well as Pringles has originals, BBQ, and Sour Cream n Onion.
    75 - 80 calories per serving vs. 140-150 calories per serving!

    I need to find some of these veggie chips. They sound really good and healthy. Sometimes I think I just need that crunch when I have a sandwich. Bad habit I guess.

    A sandwich without chips is against the law I think.
