    Yeah, this happens if I eat a ton of them also. It passes. But, it's a lesson learned about moderation. They're so easy to eat a whole bag of, though.

    I was just going to buy some at the store but didn't want to spend the calories! I'm down with pork rinds but not one serving.

    I don't think the calories are that bad considering the macros but meh...I prefer them when I have more room. I'm not great at moderation.

    I bought some when I saw them at aldi today. Not sure what I'll do with them since I wasn't a fan when I tried them before. Impulse buy I guess lol

    How about these recipes:

    I saw another version of the "not chex" recipe yesterday that used a combination of only 3 kinds of nuts: pecans, macadamias & peanuts (okay, legumes) and had no sunflower seeds.

    Higher or lower than you would have expected? Personally I was pleasantly surprised since I had always assumed they were some super high-calorie, super high-fat snack.

    Crispy pork skins are all they are. I do not like the ones you can microwave.They are good at first...all warm...then you taste WAY to much salt. I tried them tonight while watching old "Adam 12" episodes on YOUTUBE with my kids. The kiddos had popcorn.

    I bought some (once) and was completely underwhelmed with them as a snack. I used them up by turning them into substitutes for bread crumbs. As a filler for salmon patties and a coating for fish and chicken they were acceptable but not great. And I had to keep those uses a secret from my husband, who recoiled as though I'd tried to tempt him with freeze dried tarantulas.

    Love those things. But I ALWAYS end up with an empty bag.

    I don't allow myself to eat from the bag. I measure the serving then eat them from a bowl when I've eaten them. :blush:

    I used to coat with butter, Splenda, and cinnamon. They were amazing right before TOM when my appetite seems insatiable. I don't eat pork anymore, but I sure do miss the flavor!

    I ate a few pieces of the pork rinds with my low carb chicken soup; very good sub for crackers.

    Walmart had a brand called Macs. The calories are only like 80. For 5 oz or something. It tastes kind of like a smoked popcorn. It's an acquired taste but I also don't leaving them in my car in case I need a pick me up
