Pork Rinds??

I am in my 6th month now and still having some problems with food and protein.  I am not able to eat meat much at all.  I am getting 99% of my protein from shakes and yogarts.  I dont know if the ulcer I had back around week 5 is partly the cause or the partial bowel obstruction I had in early January has anything to do with it.  I have been craving something crunchy with protein and I have starting eating a serving of pork rinds a day for about 2 weeks now.  One serving has 9 grams of protein and seems to take care of my need for crunchy.  So....my question is.....since I like them so much, something MUST be wrong with them!!  lol..  They seem pretty low in fat 5%, and I know the sodium is a little high at 270, but I eat so little I was hoping this was something I could actually enjoy and had protein in it to boot!   Ok, bring it on....does anyone else eat these little piggy delights???                Joan

I have and should eat them over the NutThins I eat. Pork rinds have something like zero carbs. Enjoy!

thanks Gina, and they DO have zero carbs!!  Seems to good to be true, but I'm gonna take it!  I still struggle with "real food" so I was pretty excited about these..
