    The closest I have come to eating chips is getting some whole beans in the pods, spraying them lightly in oil, covering in Cajun spice and cooking til crispy.

    Then getting some light Greek yoghurt (I usually just use a single serve pottle) about 1/2 a packet of onion soup powder and a dash of vinegar mixed up to make a dip.

    Pop Chips do the trick, not necessarily healthy, but they do come in flavors and way less fat,etc than regular potato chips

    I would rather healthy stuff, I'm just not a big fan of lightly salted plain popcorn which is always suggested. What about things like crispers? Are they OK?

    I have used WASA thin&crispy (?) flatbread - comes w/ sesame or rosemary.....I break it in pieces and use it for hummus and dips instead of chips. 2 slices have 70 cals and I love the taste........Usuallu satisfied with one serving of 2 slices and a few spoonfuls of hummus

    I personally would just eat the chips! Just get a small serving bag, and enjoy :)

    Special K has a chip/cracker thing that come in sea salt, sour cream and onion, or cheddar flavour. You can eat 18 of them for only 80 calories. That's what's been keeping me satisfied!

    My replacement for chips are Vita Weat rice crackers, they are thinner than normal rice crackers so they are crispy and they come in lots of different flavours and one serving is around 110cals

    ^^ This : Once a week a small bag won't hurt. And just may keep you from breaking out and bingeing
    on a jumbo sized bag or worse.

    Right now I'm munching on Soya nuts, tasty but higher in fat than the chips I think, extra walking tomorrow is a must

    If you are really craving - have some - just only buy a small packet, eat them slowly and really enjoy and savour them, and them move on... one small packet won't break you :-)

    I love chips as well. It was something my family always had around growing up and while I broke away from that habit, I do find myself missing the "crunch" of foods I was eating before I came here.

    One thing that I've been doing that has helped... is I bought some Chex Cereal (gluten free for me) and I put a little olive oil in the bottom of a pan and take a napkin and make sure the whole pan is covered. (Plus you don't want one cereal piece to get a glob of oil - gross) I then add 1C of the cereal and stir it around like I'm making stir fry. I do this until it's crispy. I add either some salt or garlic salt to it - I'm sure there are some dry flavored toppings you could sprinkle on them so at least you get your flavor fix!

    Hope that helps!

    Try baked Lays and then don't eat all the bag. Don't deprive yourself. Just eat a little of what you crave. I love chips and chocolate cake!!! Eat a small amount, then throw away the rest. I deprived myself of birthday chocolate cake for a week and today I HAD to have a part of a bag of cheetos!! Still within calorie range today!!

    seriously..if you want them, why not have them? eating a few now and again won't harm you in any way..I guarantee you that. it's only when people eat these non stop all day every day do bad things start to happen.
