Potato Chips!  Can I Eat Them?

If you are like me, I love potato chips-just plain chips.  However, some believe they are unhealthy.  As a practicing dietitian for 10+ years, I have always believed everything can be enjoyed in moderation.  As I strolled the grocery store this past week I noticed the above.  Hmmmmm, reduced fat.  I wonder how they taste.  Well I can report they taste exactly like regular potato chips.  They are delicious and not so bad in the nutrition department.  Let me give you a run down:

• Only 3 ingredients-potatoes, sunflower oil, and sea salt-all natural
• 140 calories/serving
• 0 grams trans fat
• only 160 mg sodium/serving-they taste as if they have much more
• gluten-free

Now in a perfect nutrition world, I would like to see around 3 grams of fiber/serving vs 1 gram and a tad bit less in fat (5 grams vs 7 grams/ serving would be ideal).  However, if you have a craving for  low-fat chips, enjoy these in moderation.  I give you my stamp of approval!
