You will be fine eating them, heck while your at it,,,eat some chittlings,,,,they are soaked boiled and then deep fried like potatoe chips...you gotta love southern food my family lives forever,,,,,live a little...and they keep the skin moist and dewey......besides,,,a treat from time to time is called guilty pleasure.....the crackerlings in cornbread is divine too with mustard greens......anytime you need southern recipes..just hollar friend!!

I'll try not to burst your bubble but give you a laugh! Our nutritionist told us about pork skins because they have good protein but told us not to tell our surgeon cause he's Jewish! Diona

Hey Full, The pork skins shouldn't hurt you as long as you don't mix them w/ carbs! I used them in my Adkins dieting days. They were good with a low carb ranch dressing.

I love them too but they make me sick because of all the grease in them. A lot of recipes including pancakes use them to keep the carbs low.. but I just cant get them in without getting sick from them. I used to eat them all the time, but its just not worth the fat you get from them.

sorry about the bubble.

No, I think they're pretty good, but perhaps other brands are. I have a Frito Lay brand calories: 80 Fat: 5g Carbs: 0g Protein: 7g That's a good snack for me.
