Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips

I have been having some serious cravings for salt & vinegar potato chips lately. Sadly I have given in several times. I have bought the little 25 cent snack bags and eat one in 2 sittings. Not terrible, but not a good idea either. Anyway... I was at my mom's the other night and she had some pickle spears. I had one and I think that that may be close enough to get me through my craving. I wonder if all the vinegar will encourage an ulcer? What do ya'll think? Thanks, CP

I was just starting to read your post and thought, "I'll suggest that she eats pickles instead", but you were way ahead of me. My personal opinion only, but I think you'll be fine with the vinegar if you don't go overboard. I'd be a little more afraid of the pickle skin if it's not chewed well. Connie

CP, I have been eating GenSoy Tangy Salt 'N Vinegar Soy Crisps. They are a good alternative to high fat potato chips. For 25 crisps, there are 100 calories, fat is 2g, sugar 1g, and protein 7 g. I found them at Ukrop's, Vitamin Shoppe, and Vitamin World. Hope this helps. Sara -59.5

You will be at less risk long term if you can make sure that anything you eat is at a meal 3 times per day. Add these or the pickles to your menu and eat your protein first. That will give you a taste but the experience will be more in your control. Gano

Thanks for everyone's insight. I'll be cautious with the quantity and thankful for the substitution(s). Thanks, CP
