Does anyone else count chips if you eat them? If it says 50 chips is 120 calories, I always count out the number of chips I want to eat then put the bag away. lol..does anyone else do this?? I know chips are bad but i crave a lil junk food sometimes.

Absolutely! How else would I keep up with how many I've eaten?!0

Stopped eating chips due to a major jaw surgery (two months of mush, last three weeks just barely chewing) I don't even want them. Strange huh? Before that I used to eye it.0

Don't really eat chips except the occasional single serving bag but I do with almonds, cashews etc.0

Yes, and that is the only way to do it. I eat dried apricots. Healthy, yes. But I could keep on munching if I don't count them and put them on a plate or in a baggie. I am not a chip craver but I really have to avoid chocolate fudge or cakes. In fact, that was why I started eating the dried apricots--to get my mind off chocolate.0

american or international chips? makes a bit of a difference!0

Yes. :~( And it's damn depressing to only get to eat fourteen chips!0

Yup do the same thing lol. Do u ever worry cus some are bigger than others lol?0

I LOVE Mexican food, and when you go out for Mexican they always serve the chips and salsa on the house. I've been known (not recently!) to eat an entire basket just by myself...so now when we go out for Mexican, I definitely count my chips!0

heck yes! i count and weigh as much as i can! a serving of chips is WAY smaller that what it would seem to be. :noway:0
-
Yes, Yes, and Yes! And I've gotten so good at it that I can basically grab 14 chips by sight in one try...LOL!0

I count every chip. I also count my peanuts (39 whole peanuts = 160 calories).0

I weigh absolutely everything I eat. I trust that more than I do counting.0

I count. I had 7 today!0

Thats why you go by weight. I dont count mine but I weigh them.0 -
I count every chip, cracker and peanut0
-
I weigh them rather than count the chips because I end up taking all the big ones!0

no :laugh:
i rarely buy chips and if i do then i know it's just going to eat the entire bag. the way i avoid doing too much damage is to only buy the 99 cents size bag or 2-3 of the quarter sized bag if i want a few different flavors.
at this stage there are still some things i cant have large quantities of in my cupboards0 -
Yes and i want to know which chips you buy that give you 50 chips for 120 calories! I want those!0

I would count them or weigh the serving. I bought a simple digital scale recently and I love it. it keeps me honest.. I feel I need to do this cause if I understood potion control I probably wouldn't need to lose weight. if I am out or away from home I am forced to guess but the rest of the time I measure. I also log before I eat so I can make adjustement if needed. I don't want any surprises by having to do an extra workout to burn unneeded calories. good practice for when this weight loss thing turns to maintenance.0
