Potato chip craving? Substitutes?

cheese cheese and more cheese! purely because of the Protein. I know this is going to sound horrible and I don't necessarily condone this but i LOVE salt & pepper Pork rinds. 80 calories for 1/2 oz and thats a great amount (about a snack bag full) and it has 8 grams of Protein. I don't do it often but they are delicious, the cut the craving and I justify it because it has more protein and less calories than chips. I love beef Jerky too but it doesn't give you the crunch satisfaction.

Good luck!!

I totally agree! When I am just dying for something, I eat pork skins since they have no carbs. I can only eat about 5 of them before I'm full, and it hits the spot. Its certainly a better choice than eating Lays!

cheese... that is the best bet. Quest also makes small packs of Protein chips, but they are pricey and I didn't really find them to be all that great.

I totally agree! I bought those Quest chips thinking they would be great for when I craved something like that. Nope, I was wrong. I bought the cheddar and sour cream ones. Ick. They were not good at all. I threw them in the trash. And it was like $2.50 for one of those small bags. I eat cheese probably every day. I love it!

How about baking some kale chips? They're really crunchy.

I like Pork rinds. They surprised me as to how much Protein they have and no carbs or sugar. Just be careful because they can become a slider food...only have a few to satisfy the crunch.
