18 grams of whole grains out of 19 grams of carbs per serving (15 chips). Only 140 calories with 6 grams of fat, only 1.5 being saturated. Also two grams of fiber and two of protein. The first ingredient listed, however, is whole corn, isn't whole corn still a quick digesting carbohydrate? What is your opinion on these chips?

They are chips, never a good idea IMO. Go for some soy crisps or some pork rinds if you want something better

i read somewhere on a list of bad foods from aol that sunchips weren't all that and they were to be avoided or limited in extreme's. even though they dont have any transfats or whatever, they have lots of calories...i always thought they were healthful as well...but you know what they say...can't have too much of a good thing, right?

Chips are fine as is ice cream, chocolate, and whatever the hell else you want to eat. Why cant people understand this. Just fit it into your daily caloric goals.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do this I keep on doing. (Romans 7:15,17-19)

Heh, you read that on AOL, that should be a red flag right there. Sun chips are not bad in moderation. Just work them in with your meal/nutrient timing and total calories per day and they are fine. There are MANY worse foods than sun chips. If you are truely giving it all you have in the gym, you have nothing to worry about.

Pork Skins are amazing! I use them as a chip for my tuna salad when on keto. I mean, knowing that they are not good for you, really high sodium and fried, they're still ok to supplement your food with in order to get it down, because i have an extremely hard time just eating tuna salad by itself.

the only problem with chips is that they usually come in a huge bag. and a lot of the time contain MSG, so it's hard to stop. chips are my kryptonite.

<3 MSG. Over in China put it in everything. Best condiment ever.

I've never had any issues with MSG. I wouldn't recommend eating the vast majority of the crap on chinese buffets, but if you get some REAL Chinese food, I guarantee they'll throw some MSG in there and it will still be healthy. MSG won't make you fat, and as far as I know doesn't have any other big health issues either.
