    I like Crispeez, and also veggie straws, both are very tasty and satisfying. Oh and Cape Cod potato chips come in 40% less fat :smile:

    Pop chips are great. Also, Stacy's Pita Chips satisfy that salty/crunchy craving for me and are excellent with hummus!

    Pop chips.. had some today! 1 serving varies from 19-22 chips and is 110 calories (trader joes brand). I'm also on the small bag of popcorn team. :)

    Now... how bout tortilla chips that I can eat salsa with?! Anyone? And no, I don't plan on only eating 20 of them if it happens. Oh my beloved chips and salsa... why must you be so tempting!?

    Bear in mind that replacing them with "light" and "low fat" alternatives is also going to up your sugar or artificial sweetener and other chemical nasties - they have to make them taste good with something! Crisps/chips are my absolute weakness - I can't have them in the house - "moderation" just doesn't work in this case for me. If I need salty and crunchy I have a weighed out portion of almonds or pistachios and if I just want crunch I have carrots and hummous. When I have a cheat day I tend to get full fat tortilla chips - I find they have fewer weird ingredients in them for some reason....

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

    agreed. Pop chips or airpopped popcorn Yum. (except I still have a big weakness to salt and vinegar chips)

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

    Yes, I was going to suggest the same things and make them home made!!

    So many processed foods listed here that it makes my head spin..............

    Try Veggie Chips. The brand I use (can't remember the name) gives 56 chips per serving at only 110 calories! AND it's all natural ingredients (vegetables, oil, etc).

    I agree! I'll also agree with the consensus and suggest almonds... they'll help curb your appetite.

    I found Flat Out baked flatbread crisps at Kroger today! Garlic Herb flavor. Very yummy! Tastes sort of like a crouton!

    Popcorn.. not the chemically laden bags, real pop it yourself popcorn kernels in a bit of olive oil with a lil' sea salt or nutritional yeast sprinkled on at the end.
