Hi, I recently started having a bag of chips with my lunch and noticed that after I eat the chips, I good amount of grease and oils still remain in the bag. I assume that the calories on the back of the small bag (160 cals) includes the grease and oils left in the bag, right?

    Can't tell if you're being serious or not but this was too funny. :laugh: :laugh:

    Don't make it difficult by guesstimating. Just log the calories

    Calorie counts for foods are often off from the manufacturers to begin with. That margin of error is likely greater than the oil left in the bag or not anyways.

    Those small bags of chips are the very best diet snack! They are automatically portion-controlled and if you are a fat-craver like I am, a thousand times more satisfying than a plate full of weeds!

    I actually am serious because I'm maintaining weight and don't want to reduce calories :P
