    Have some if you can keep it in moderation go for it. Try a substitute if you have to. Potato chips are my weakness too. I save them for my cheat day. Now I don't crave as bad as I use to. The key is not feeling deprived.

    Eat them!
    What you on MFP for? Tracking macros / calories? Eat them - track them and live happily ever after!
    They will not make you fat or kill you - all is going to happen is that you fat and carbs intake is going to go down for the rest of the day!

    Measure out an ounce and put them in the cupboard?

    How did they get into your house?

    I'm usually for everything in moderation but chips are one thing I can't control. They were/are a trigger food for me. I stopped buying them as a result. I haven't had a craving for them in a long time! So have your chips now, log them, and maybe don't buy them in the future.

    eat them, if it fits in your macros for the day, weight out a single portion add it to you diary, enjoy!! put the rest of them away. out of sight. its that simple. I have then sometimes with a sandwich, I buy the 1oz. bags most the time that's one serving and I weigh out a half serving , save the other half for another time.

    Maybe try something else that's crunchy like rice cakes or pretzels or wheat thins or celery...U can make ure own chips too in a healthy way by slicing a very small potato thinly and baking them with salt and olive oil and whatever spices u want. They would satisfy that need for the crunch and wld be baked

    Why is baked superior to fried?

    Have a glass of water.

    Then, eat some protein.

    Wait 20 minutes.

    If you are still craving chips, eat some but not all.

    Log it, and move on. But I find that water+protein usually quells my hunger / craving.

    How does one eat just a couple? Wait. I have no self control. I eat the whole damn bag and just log it.

    It's the salt you crave - try pickles, carrot or celery with some salt, a salad.

    There is no way they would still be sitting on my cupboard! If they are in the house I can't stop thinking about then and it is sad really, they are my weakness. I try not to have them in the house easier on me that way.

    Yeah, don't bother giving them to a homeless person or a food bank. You know, instead of wasting them.
