I think I just bought a "Clean" snack food...

[Sibrek]

Good source of healthy fats and carbs

Only ingredients are, Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, and Salt.

Should I eat them? (The salt is only 270 mg sodium)

[CF10]

Lookin for ways to get people to tell you that bag of Lays is healthy?

It is healthy...is Sunflower oil a "bad" fat?

Then why didnt you just say "I bought a bag of potato chips, make me feel good about it guys"?

You seem to have already answered your own question, why are you posting this, to ask for support to eat chips?

He's trolling, he does that from time to time.

I have my opinion on the question, why don't you share yours instead of being a nuisance?

What about this thread is trolling? Asking a question about a commonly overlooked healthy snack alternative?

Irony FTL...

[Giorrgi]

Meh, what are the fats, calories?

You could try to eat it, but if you're hungry after you've taken an equivalent of 200-300 calories as it happens with chips and other bad snacks, then don't do it anymore.

[CF10]

Should I eat them?

It is healthy...

WTF is your question. I see a person who has made up his mind to eat the potato chips, but he wants someone to help him not feel guilty, so he posts the "ingredient" list and fails to mention that they are potato chips because he doesnt want someone to talk him out of it /thread. Eat your chips Sibrek we all know you're gonna do it anyway no matter what anyone says.

If you give me an actual reason why they aren't healthy, I'll consider your answer in the future. Why are you being so hostile? It's a forum.

sun chips is where its at, i have some everyday

Wow that was hard. Common sense + Google leads us to the easy answer that potato chips arent a "healthy" snack smart guy. Why am I hostile? Cause you disguise this thread so that you can get some idiot to tell you that potato chips are healthy so you can either:

1. Feel good about yourself or..
2. Use it as a future argument against someone

What I dont understand about you Sibrek is that you seem to be the type of person who WANTS to make the effort but only if the effort is what you think it should be, and you will make yourself believe certain things to convince yourself you're making the efforts necessary. In other words you're afraid of what it really takes.

Wow, that was really thought out. I, however, have a different philosophy when it comes to Sibrek.

He does stuff like this, "Are chips with trans fats o.k." to grab attention, in that we spark an argument with him. He, for some reason or another, likes to irritate people. Which is fine, I really couldn't care about him or his posts, which is usually why I try not to respond to them.

Recently though, he seemed to of made an effort to be a bit more helpful, after his banning that is. Now, all of a sudden he's reverted back to his old, to put it mildly, "trolling" ways.

I hope he never gets banned forever. When I'm bored his threads are fun to pass the time. I bet he's googling some **** right now to make chips look healthy.

Case in point.

He's going to respond with something like, "You can eat 2000 calories of trans-fat, but it's fine because you're in a caloric deficit." Why, even though in theory he is right, he would rather try to continue an argument rather than look at the facts.

[Aindreas]

Regardless of Sibrek's intentions, the fact that they're called "potato chips", and not to antagonize anyone or provoke hostility, I'd still like to know what's wrong with the ingredients mentioned. I mean, it's not like they're a meal by themselves.

I think 2000 calories of trans fat is processed by the body differently than other macros...it wouldn't be the same.

I quoted that exactly from Sibrek himself.

"2000 calories of trans-fat won't make you fat and you will lose fat."

exactly, the ingredients seem fine.

For christ sakes, think of potato chips as potato's with butter minus the skin(which holds the nutrients and fiber) They aren't bad for your health, but they arent good nutrition wise. Basically easy carbs.

He's not correct in theory....

[Aindreas]

Since when are carbs and fats "not good" nutrition wise?

[-Aaron-]

He's not correct in theory....

The theory was that, if you consume 2000 calories, chances are you will lose weight. That's what I was goig for.

He could be right, I don't know. I doubt there are many clinical studies on this. For all I know, you won't lose fat but lose muscle as muscle is not as efficient for the body to hold onto and trans fat would not be fueling you..

I have no clue.

It's the same as any food argument. Fast food isnt bad for you as long as you manage to hit your daily macros, but it makes it tougher to do.

Guess what Bacon is healthy. You need saturated fats right? It's got some protein. I found a great snack. 1/2 of a piece of bacon covered with one strand of shredded cheese. Macros: 150 cals, 20g fat, 5g protein. I'm set. It's official, bacon smothered in cheese is healthy. See my point?

[Oddball8945]

when they lack vitamins & minerals & fiber such as Potato chips do....

Would you eat sugar and butter ? Thats fat and carbs too.

But would you really eat that by itself? Add some lean ground beef a ww bun, some lettuce and tomato, and you'd have a fairly balanced meal.

Along the same lines, here are the nutrition facts for a bag of Terra Gold potato chips, which contain the ingredients Sibrek mentioned.

Serving Size: 1 oz. (28g)
Servings Per Container: 5
Amount Per Serving
Calories 130
Calories from Fat 45
Total Fat 5g
Saturated Fat 0.5g
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 0mg
Sodium 80mg
Total Carb. 19g
Dietary Fiber 0g
Sugars 0g
Protein 2g

In addition to oh say, a can of tuna, that would seem to make a complete meal. It wouldn't be particularly hard to fit into your macros either.

[Aindreas]

Sugar and butter aren't potatoes and sunflower oil. And some potato chips, such as the Terra Gold I just mentioned, do, in fact have the skin.

true, im not disagreeing here. You just said when are carbs & Fat bad, an i explained when.

In regards to the potato chips, it depends on what brand you get, of course if you get regular chips, they are in fact pretty much just carbs & fat and nothing else.

C'mon dude, a fifth of a bag of potato chips? You know Sibrek aint throwin the other 4/5 away. He bought a bag of potato chips and he's gonna eat it in between classes or whatever. Not with tuna, not with chicken, just a bag of potato chips. And he knows it sucks, and thats why the title of the thread isnt "Hey guys I found a healthy potato chip". It's disguised and stripped down to a ridiculous serving size just like all the unhealthy food in America is allowed to do on their labels.
