    Special K Cracker chips, Pop Chips, Vegetable baked chips, or raw baby carrots. :smile:

    Actually my doctor suggest eating 100 calorie packs of popcorn as a healthy snack. you should really think about buying the mini bags they are great.

    What about baked chips? They are fewer calories, still crunchy and a little salty. Or try snacking on some ALMONDS!!!! Crunchy and HEALTHY! (small quantity though because they pack alot of fat in a small amount).

    Or

    My sister-in-law loves to eat apple chips... they are sweet, but crunchy.

    Edamame with sea salt. Not exactly a one-for-one replacement but they are really good, keep you satisfied, and easy to keep on hand. I always keep a bag of both the shelled and unshelled in the freezer.

    I agree on the special K crackers and pop chips. But, if you're like me, I can't eat just just a serving size, so having any of those around is dangerous!

    Pop Chips are the best! you can find them in the health food section of the grocery store. They have different flavors to choose from like BBQ, salt & vinegar, salt & pepper, etc.... I learned about them from Jillian Michaels.

    I love chips too and I still eat them. I am just better with portion control and moderation. I would say if you want chips have 1 serving of chips ore even 1/2 a serving. I count out the chips in a serving and then put the bag away so that I'm not tempted to eat any more than that. I think if I wouldn't let myself have chips (or anything else I like) I would eventually break down and eat a whole bag so I think having the things I like in moderation keeps me from binging later.

    kale chips, pork rinds, sweet potato chips-- all homemade of course (homemade is always better for you than packaged stuff!)

    Synder's Veggie Straws or home-made kale chips or spinach chips. Put them on a cookie sheet, brush on olive oil and seasonings. Bake them in the oven until they are crunchy....about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the oven.

    I love pop chips, but I also love the 100 calorie popcorn bags! Almonds are a good alternative as well as vegetable chips. Our whole foods store has whole crispy vegetables...they are dehydrated in a way they keep their shape, color and flavor and are quite good!

    I recently saw "Light" potato chips at Walmart. I didn't look at them, but just an idea.

    These are great!! Baby carrots are have a good crunch but nowhere near as good tasting as chips lol. Oh and almonds!
