Hi, does anybody snack on WOW chips.< /p>

I think they are delicious, but I do not know if I should be staying away from them.

If they're delicious, that's not a good sign... lol

Read the ingrediants - what's a serving size, how many calories, how much fat? Are you eating just a serving, or the whole bag?

Anything is fair game, just be conscious of what and how much you're eating. If you turn this into a "snacky" item that you munch on unconsciously you could be adding a lot of unwanted calories. But I've never tried them, so can't even guess on that front.

I've never eaten them, but that's because I'm afraid of the Olean they use to fry them in. It kinda scares me, chips go right through my band, so I'd eat a whole bag, and I don't relish the thought of anal leakage. :mad:

If you can eat them in moderation, and you don't get the side effects of the Olean, I don't see what could be wrong with you snacking on them every once in a while. Just remember, even though they're very low fat, they still have calories and calories are what count the most in the end.

Thanks for the reply, as far as the olean it does not effect me due to the fact I only have a serving size (maybe 10 chips) that's enough for me just for a taste,, I am trying to see what is best for me when I am in the need for a snack. I think they taste great(My Daughter says they taste like cardboard). With this said I was feeling guilty eating them because they were so good.

No one says we can't still eat things that taste good! In fact, now that I'm banded, I like my foods as flavorful as possible, since I eat so little of it. If you feel that they may influence your weight loss though, pop on over to www.fitday.com and track your caloric intake for a few days. If you don't know about fitday, it's a free online food journal that gives breakdowns of your total calories, fat, Protein, carbs, Vitamins, etc. It's a great site!
