Alternatives for potato chips?

When I crave, I crave crunchy-salty. I figure decent substitutes will give you that with perhaps a little less fat. Watch the available substitutes because sometimes they are even worse calorie and fat-wise (i.e. Sun Chips).
When I need crunch and volume, I make up a batch of air popped popcorn. You might also want to try roasted chickpeas. They also come with higher protein and fiber.0 -
hula hoops do Puffs which I think are about 75 calories per bag. I have one while watching TV in the evening most days.0

Not really different but better are the terra sweet potato chips. No calories to be saved or anything just tastier I believe.0

Pork rinds. Crunchy, salty, yum, expecially with a dip!0

Potato chips are my downfall as well and have been trying to find a suitable replacement but all I come up with is more potato chips )0

Tortillas cut in triangles w/little olive oil, salt...bake until crispy0

The Lays potato chips are really not horrible for you. Even one of those little 1.5oz bags has a lot of chips and won't throw your calories for the day. Plus they only have three ingredients so I feel like they are better than some other more processed things. But that could just be me rationalizing eating them.
Maybe the 100 calorie popcorn bags? That's salty and crunchy.0 -
I love baked chickpeas!0

I love Nut Thins! I haven't tried any flavor but this one: http://www.iherb.com/Blue-Diamond-Almond-Nut-Thins-Nut-Rice-Cracker-Snacks-4-25-oz-120-5-g/320670

Bacon. Always bacon. Put some bacon and cheese on a cracker. Or just eat the bacon. If you don't want the high fat content, steam it before you fry it and the steaming will melt off a lot of fat. Then dry it with paper towel before eating. So delicious, you wont even remember what chips are.0

I enjoy Terra's Sweet Potato & Beet Chips. I also still eat tortilla chips and potato chips now and then, but I'm careful to portion them out.0

Skinnytaste.com has a recipe for zucchini chips. Very easy to make and low calorie and tastes great! I also love potato chips but i can honestly say i have not had a single one since I started on fitness pal. Im just not willing to use that many calories at one time. One thing I do eat though which is just like chips - Popcorners Popped corn chips gluten free. Like Popcorn and a Chip in one. I bought a box of 25 with 7 different flavors off of Amazon.com. They are Delish. Have that crunch that we look for in a chip - but way healthier!0

Oh yeah.. lol. THe Skinny Popcorn is delicious. Found in Sams and in Krogers. I like my popcorn salted and this has just the right amount of salt without overloading it.0

You can slice potatoes thin, spray a baking sheet with olive oil, place in a single layer, and bake at around 400 for about 10 minutes. Spray potatoes with more olive oil, and turn. Bake for another 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and enjoy! They are like a cross between chips & roasted potatoes but have minimal calories.0
