I love dip and there are so great Protein ones but what alternative is there to chips? ???

[tarajill 63]

What about veggies? Carrots, celery? Or I've found some pita bread and flat breads, lavash that is very low cal and high Protein.< /p>

Zucchini chips, handmade

There are soy chips. Also some crackers are not too bad calorie wise.

There's lots of options for almost any food you want to eat. Make healthy choices and remember Portion Control and you can enjoy all types of foods. That might sound like a diet but for me with the band it's not.

I got a microwave chip maker from pampered chef and it's nice to make veggie and fruit chips. I can make apple, zucchinni, sweet potato and they taste good, but aren't loaded with the fat, grease and salt like store bought are.

However, if any one gets one, you do have to play around with the time in the microwave to get it right.

That sounds like a great idea cause my problem is craving salty. This could give me a healthy alternative.

Carrots, capsicum/peppers, cucumber sticks are great. Celery I've had some trouble with stringy bits if my teeth can't shred the stringy bits

Rice crackers are also a great alternative.

Mary's Gone Crackers - wheat free, gluten free, made from rice, seeds and flax. Rather low calorie and moderate carb, and at least nutritious - not empty process wheat calories. You can have 13 for 136 calories according to te box.

Hard to get in Australia and probably specialty store item in the US too but easily available online.

Jachut,

Thanks for the recommendation! I just discovered them here in a nearby shop called "Veggies" - quite expensive but worth the price
