-What's your favorite kind?

-What do you do when you're trying to count out a serving and all you have is broken chips?

-Any low calorie options?

    For broken chips, weigh them with a food scale, the serving size should indicate oz as well as number of chips.

    Baked chips are much better calorie wise.. although they don't taste as well. Original Lays are good baked. My favorite by far are Doritos! If I have a broken chip, I always get other broken pieces and make a whole one with pieces... lol

    Chips are my downfall! I have found Lay's Light Chips as my guilty pleasure. One serving has 75 calories(about 20 chips). Still not the best choice over an apple or banana but, let's be honest, we are human and we still have "wants" and I figure if I stick to the serving and stay within my calorie range, I'm doing ok!

    Pop chips are delish. I eat the whole bag as my special treat and don't feel guilty, not one bit.

    I gave up on chips because the calories are so high and I don't like any of the low-cal options like baked chips...

    However, I LOVE the Cheetos Natural Puffs White Cheddar... they're all naturals, they've also got no preservatives. They don't leave that gross cheese on your hands, or the greasy fingers and they sit REALLY well in my stomach. Plus they melt in your mouth. YUM.

    A bonus, the serving size is 32 pieces so you actually get a ton of them. I sometimes even do just a half serving with a sandwich and it's plenty.

    My favorite chip would have to be something like doritos or salt and vinegar... but I've only been eating Cape Cod kettle cooked chips, 40% reduced fat... there are only 3 ingredients in them!

    ah chips,,,,,, I love them too! I don't usually count the broken ones but thats just my method of trying to score more to eat!

    I have tried the sour cream & onion pop chips and they are very light and low cal. You can eat 31 chips for 170 calories but the sodium is fairly high at 450 mg. Moderation, as always, is the key. Enjoy!

    OMG! Chips are the devils food! Once you pop you can't stop is so true. I love them all, but my favorite...baked bbq lays and salt and vinegar chips. I can't eat a serving size. When there's broken chips it becomes free food in my mind! Obviously I haven't had chips in a while, they can't be in my house!

    I love chips. I don't really like any of the "healthy" options though for them. They don't taste like authentic chips to me lol

    My favorite chips are Lay's Lightly Salted. They're 150 calories for 20 of them.

    i love Terra Exotic Vegetable Chips :) they are a full serving of vegetables per serving and very low in sodium. there are also Terra Sweet Potato Chips which are no salt added!

    i use a a digital scale to measure my chips (along with everything else. its a life saver!)

    im OCD about measuring and weighing everything.

    I love soy crisps-barbecue flavor. Also Trader Joe's has baked Vinegar and Salt chips which are yum! I think a food scale is a good investment in any kitchen, I love mine and use it constantly.
