Veggie Chips or Veggie Sticks. I usually find them in our organic section and they are amazing. I can (and have) eaten the whole bag at one sitting. They are so much better tasting than regular chips.0

Pop chips are pretty good
Love those! The BBQ is so yummy!0 -

Rice chips. They're awesome!0

Special K Chips are outstanding. They currently come in two flavors, sour cream & onion, salt & pepper. 27 chips for 110 calories.0

Popchips are awesome. Sometimes I get the Utz No Salt Chips.
Sweet potato fries and popcorn are good substitutes for me.0 -
http://www.flickr.com/photos/raeannesisson/5950862727/in/set-72157627100623285/ <-- veggie chips that i get at my local nutrition store. these are different than the ones that are "fake" and just pieced together and aren't actually made of veggies... and they are CHOW. (not the most healthy... but amazing)
i agree on the pop chips.... and... BEANITOS are my absolute favorite sub for chips. i even made a video on them and the company sent me free stuff! LOL. but i love them so much.... here's a link to the video. http://www.flickr.com/photos/raeannesisson/5950862727/in/set-72157627100623285/0 -
PS genisoy crisps (like rice cakes, made of soy) are GREAT. i am big on snacks that are nutritionally dense too... not just empty calories. a lot of the main stream stuff is empty calories. just sayin'0

Popcorn - you can make your own with kernels, a microwave, and a paper lunch bag. It's a great way to control your sodium and calories.
1) Put 3 tbsp of kernels in a paper lunch bag
2) Fold the bag down 1/2" at a time until you have 3-4 folds
3) Lay the bag on its side in the microwave
4) Use the popcorn setting or microwave on high, listening for the pops to become a few seconds apart
5) Season and serve (I like to use kosher salt and garlic powder)0 -
I sometimes snack on Sensible Portions Veggie Straws:)0

Pop chips are pretty good
BBQ and Sour Cream and Onion .. yummm0 -
I like Lay's Light chips. I'm not a "clean eater" so the Olestra thing doesn't bother me and I don't get any kind of tummy problems from them either. You can have around 20 chips for 0 fat and 70 calories. I think they are yummy!!!
Yeah these are good too. Never seem to find them in my local grocery store. But I have had them and they are yummy.0 -
I just tried Pop Chips for the first time a couple weeks ago. Oh.My.God. So little calories and all of the crunchy salty potatoey goodness that I love in chips.0

I never heard of pop chips? Are they available in the south? What's the brand name? I just eat Cape Cod 40% reduced fat kettle chips. 23 chips are 140 calories, and they are, well, Potato Chips!0

I also LOVE the Special K Cracker Chips.. Sour Cream and Onion!!0

I just made some kale chips for the first time and they pretty darn good. I tore the leaves from the stem (don't use the stems) and laid them on a baking sheet. Spray them with non stick cooking spray and then I sprinkled mine with sea salt, pepper, and a bit of garlic powder. Bake at 350 for 5-7 minutes. They are unique, but I find them pretty darn good!0

I have the same fight with potato chips. They are so good. I decided not to give them up, just eat a smaller portion. I buy the 1 oz size bags and eat 2 bags a week, but only after I exercise. I find that I crave them less when I'm exhausted and enjoying them. That method has worked for me since April 2011. Completely eliminating something I love doesn't work for me, learning to control how much and when I eat it does. I hope you're able to find something that works for you equally as well.0
