    I know of nothing in the store that gives me the same satisfaction as I get from chips and fries. Sure you can eat veggies or fruit instead --- but it's not even close to the same. The closest thing in the stores to chips are Quaker Rice Quakes Salt and Cracked Black Pepper - delicious!

    If you are looking for something similar in taste yet healthy - I cook my own. Cut a potato thinly, coat lightly with about a tablespoon of olive oil and grill (best results) or bake in the oven at 400 flipping a few times. Make sure to salt them too (I don't have salt issues so I salt 'em good!).

    I like Pita chips. Sometimes you can get them with different flavours. Or you could make them yourself?? and put whatever spice you like on them.

    Oven fries as good as french fries but fat free. Cut into fries, spray with cooking spray. Put in oven at 450 and bake till crunchy and golden brown. 100 calories instead of 400.

    Roasted baby carrots! They taste just like sweet potato fries except you don't have to cut or peel them. Just put them in a roasting tin, little bit of olive oil and roast in 400F oven for about 30mins turning once yummy!
