Chips/crisps are not a vital foodstuff. You do not need an alternative.

>>6074518
she don't consider nuts a crisps/chips replacement

Popcorn is pretty high in fat so unless it's some healthy shit I wouldn't recommend it.

Sunchips are pretty tasty and low in fat/probably calories as well. There are a load of other low fat crisps available but they might be expensive. If you're just in the mood for something crispy and savoury, just make some toast and put some butter and garlic salt on it. Ghetto garlic bread is more filling than crisps and tastes alright. You could also try making your own crisps. I've been meaning to make these for a while so I don't know how good they are.

>Popcorn is pretty high in fat so unless it's some healthy shit I wouldn't recommend it.
Bullshit!

>>6074525

Popcorn contains zero fat unless you add some.

The person above suggested air-popped popcorn, which would not add any fat at all.

>>Sunchips are pretty tasty and low in fat/probably calories as well.

Not really. They market themselves as a health food but there is not a lot of difference between them and normal potato chips. Read the label sometime.

Best snack? No snack. Drink a glass of water.

>>6074491

>Implying popcorn is not a snackfood.

Or make it on the stove and use flavored salts/seasonings (don't go overboard)

Apple chips, veggie straws?

>>6074491
then your landwhale will stay fat

>>6074531
>pouring emulsified fat on it doesn't add a lot of fat

>>6074539

But that's not fat in the popcorn. That's fat in a topping, which is easily avoided by eating popcorn and choosing a non-fat topping.

Popcorn
Dried fruit (in moderation, with no added sugar)

>>6074539
Popcorn has no fat. There is no mandatory requirement to drown it in fatty shit.

I'm out of armstrong pictures

eating healthier in this society means eating less, period. Though I'd avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat, like sorbet.

>chilli

why

nuts, but be careful about mindless snacking because they're pretty calorie dense. but they take a while to chew (especially almonds) compared to chips and they're full of good fats, protein and fiber.

multigrain crackers?

also, dried roasted seeweed!

>>6074609

It's tasty and zero calorie.

Kale chips, nigga. Roast kale drizzled with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, garlic, and crushed red pepper.

>>6074586

no.. no, not all of society is one specific problem. not everyone overeats. a lot of people just eat like shit because shit food is the cheapest thing next to cooking your own rice, beans, eggs, making your own sandwiches, etc. but in either case, a lot of the food products we buy, if we eat them frequently, are terrible for us even if we stay around 2000 calories or even less. as are the habits of skipping meals or eating based on an 'artificial' craving like one for taco bell, candy, etc.

>>6074635

i think i fucked up making these because they felt like spikes in my mouth

>>6074642

I think the guy's point was that recent research has shown that a restricted-calorie diet prolongs the lifespan. That's true for anybody, regardless of what their diet is.

>>6074644
Hahaha, I did the same thing first time, you really need to remove the spines, because they become hard and needle-like in the oven. Really can't skip that step.

>>6074646

well, i restricted my calories and turned anorexic and basically my body is fucked up and the only way to get healthy again is to eat a lot of calories.

>>6074652

Sounds like you overdid it bro.
You can reduce calories without going full-on anorexic.

>>6074652
>i restricted my calories and turned anorexic

No, you were anorexic and you decided to restrict your calories.

>>6074479
Just don't buy anything with Palm Oil in it.

>>6074532
>Best snack? No snack. Drink a glass of water.

I thought snacking moderately throughout the day was healthier than eating all your food in 2-3 daily meals?

Also, water doesn't make you less hungry.

>>6074655
>74655▶

i'm just saying... it's not true for everyone regardless of what their diet is.

i along with a lot of others are prone to eating disordered thoughts and behaviors, and calorie restriction is a catalyst for unhealthiness, not health.

anyway, calorie "restriction" should come naturally if you're eating fresh, whole foods and getting all of the nutrients your body needs. it's hard to overeat then. calorie restriction might be necessary (at first) for someone who has never paid attention to nutrition labels and eats an excessive amount of calories. but humans are supposed to be able to eat instinctively. i think that paying attention to the types of food we eat and the nutrition that they provide can be a way to springboard ourselves back into natural, intuitive eating.

>>6074666
>I thought snacking moderately throughout the day was healthier than eating all your food in 2-3 daily meals?

Kinda, but often misunderstood. It is true that eating food spread out as opposed to infrequent large meals does speed up your metabolism. But the difference is small. And that also assumes you're eating the same amount of food, which is a dangerous assumption to make. It's easy to accidentally overeat if you are used to constantly snacking. (though of course if you strictly track how much you're eating it is not a problem--but very few people actually do that). Another potential problem is the nature of the foods involved. It's quite common that a sit-down meal consists of a protein, starch, and a vegetable or two--a fairly balanced meal. On the other hand it can be more difficult to maintain a balanced diet when snacking--it's easy to end up eating a lot of junk food while missing out on the nutritious foods. Of course, like the portion measuring issue it's certainly possible to eat a balanced diet via snacking, but again, who actually does that? So it's the case of a minor detail in a specific situation being overblown and potentially false conclusions being drawn from it.

>>water doesn't make you feel less hungry
So what? Hunger is not insurmountable. Surely you can hold off from stuffing your face until the next mealtime? I happen to be hungry right now. But you know what? I can easily wait the 2 hours until dinnertime.

Why don't you try cutting things out instead of substituting?

>>6074699

what's the point in proving you can wait? and beside that, just because you can space out your meals so that you eat 2-3 and still feel energized and not want to binge eat... doesn't mean that's right for every person. some people do well to control their appetite and fuel their body effectively by grazing or snacking throughout the day. everyone is different.

>>6074712
>>6074716

i forgot to add, i am one of those people that grazes but tracks (when i'm not active in my eating disorder) what i eat to make sure i'm balanced. i also don't graze on junk food. i make exceptions for a little piece of candy here and there but otherwise it's grain toast, bran, fruit/dried fruit, veggies, canned fish, eggs, nuts, and beans for me.

>>6074479
popcorn, even lightly buttered and salted is better for you than chips

>pork rinds
No carbs, good source of animal skin, crunchy like chips
>celery and hummus
Low carb, good for you, makes you cum a lot
>Kale chips
Tasty, nutrition, good all around. Easy to make too and Kale is cheap as fuck.

>>6074716
>what's the point in proving you can wait?

To point out that snacking is optional, and that hunger can be addressed via willpower rather than food.

>>some people do well to control their appetite and fuel their body effectively by grazing or snacking throughout the day. everyone is different.

Oh, I agree with you about that. My point was that it's easy to accidentally fall into the trap of justifying snacking because "you read online that it was healthy" only to end up accidentally overeating. I have three friends who do this. They're all landwhales but constantly talk about how all the snacks they eat (in addition to meals) are "healthy". So yeah, if you snack throughout the day and manage to eat a healthy diet then that's great, nothing wrong with that at all. But snacking doesn't automatically equal healthy. And think that for most people (who don't track calories or nutrition) it will likely end up with a less nutritious and more junk-food diet compared to the alternative.

>>6074733
You're clearly doing things correctly (disorder aside), but that doesn't mean that applies to everyone. A lot of people hear that "snacking is healthy" and then use that to justify face-cramming candy bars and doritos throughout the day.

>Kale chips
Can you cook thjs with canola or something instead of olive oil? Gf doesn't like that.

>>6074786

Of course you can. Most cooking oils are interchangeable.

why do you need to eat chips, for fuck's sake
here's some suggestions i guess

>kale chips (w/ parmesan cheese, you also have to make them yourself)
>quinoa chips (you don't have to make these)
>eat a damn piece of fruit
>sweet potato anything that isn't fried
>make homemade hashbrowns w olive oil
>get a blender and experiment with smoothies (avoid bananas which are high in sugar and use chia seeds instead to make them thick, frozen fruit and veggies are acceptable to use)

>>6074798
wow do you also follow the food pyramid?

>>6074939
>not following expert opinion

>>6074939
Yup.

breakfast is usually juice or milk + [donut, bread, cinnamon bun today, english muff, etc]

lunch: juice + burger, fries or sandwich or leftovers

dinner: rice veggie beef or pork

try to eat fruit every other day

snack

dessert: cake or ice cream daily

Make your own chips. Get a stack of corn tortillas, cut an X through it with a pizza cutter, arrange the quarters on a tray, salt, and bake til crisp

Yes, that vital nutrient.

>>6074946

>>6075041
>On the Healthy Eating Pyramid, potatoes don’t count as a vegetable, since they are chock full of rapidly digested starch, and they have the same effect on blood sugar as refined grains and sweets. That’s why potatoes are in the “Use Sparingly” tip.

You can eat doritos, dude. As somebody else pointed out, basically all prepackaged snacks are about the same, just start looking at the nutrional labels and PAY ATTENTION TO PORTION SIZE

calories are listed first becuase they are the most important thing. the easiest way to lose weight is to set a calorie plane, lets say 2500 Kcal a day for you and 2000 for your GF, and you can eat whatever you want as long as you don't go over that magic number.

next time you get a chance, look at what a single serving of Doritos is
>spoiler: it's 1 ounce, approximately 11 chips

that's 150 calories. you could eat 16 servings and stay under your limit, but that's literally the only thing you can eat in a whole day

>spoiler: family size Doritos bag is 17 oz

so you make a plan that goes something like this:

breakfast, 450 kcal

snack 1-200kcal

lunch, 650 kcal

snack, 1-200 kcal

dinner 650 kcal

snack 200 kcal

and you can eat whatever you want. but pay attention to those calories. you can have 1 serving of doritos or two large apples or 4 cups of nonfat popcorn or 2 cups of popcorn with exactly one TBSP of butter melted on it.

but the formula is simple- do not go over your calorie budget for any reason, ever, full stop.

this is guaranteed to work unless you have a medical issue

>>6074946

Why are eggs on the same level as fish? What do they have to offer? And what are eggs, fish, and chicken doing on the same level as beans and nuts? And why are nutrient-poor refined fats on the bottom with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables?

>>6074666
often people confuse thirst and hunger, so if it's actually thirst, you've solved it. Also it's something to do with your hands/mouth, so that could also add something... If delicious plain water is too boring, try soda water and lime or something.

>>6075062

OP didn't say he's just trying to lose weight, he said he was looking for healthier foods

Cucumber sticks and carrot sticks. Has the same crunchiness as chips

kale chips
or hell just make your own potato chips, and bake them in coconut oil rather than fried in w/e the fuck oil they normally use. you can add dried herbs for flavor variety.

didn't you know man? coconut oil is the new thing. it's in. it's hip. it's the fad man. jump on the bandwagon and use coconut oil!

>>6075292
Two or three times a year, it's not going to matter. Get over your whatever it is. You'll have more problems with your life by not having some fun sometimes than the folk that do have some fun.

Keep eating delicious chips but get off your fat asses some more

>>6075306
People that have so many problems in their lives will have a lot more problems in their lives by being uptight assholes then some people that eat some chips a few times year. The former are the types are naturally uptight and need to put their bullshit on others.

I just ignore those types, they mean nothing to me.

>>6075242
Attempting to lose weight isn't the only potential reason a person can have for trying to eat healthier.

I've been trying to improve my diet lately as well, and I could actually afford a few extra pounds.

Nuts.

They're not low calorie, but they're way more filling than potato chips and you'll eat less overall.

make your own chips, use less oil, and eat them more as a meal than snack

>>6074522
Then she will die obese and disgusting ;)

Part of healthy eating/ fitness is learning self control. Do you think that those green/orange air-fried vegetable chips are actually good tasting? They taste like shit compared to conventional snack food, we eat them because we have the self control to abstain from high fat/salt bullshit until the cravings go away.

>>6077908
yeah but she might like the kale ones, i'll try it. nuts are a totally different category.

>>6074479
Eating Salsa with doritos has to be one of the most disgusting things I've seen.

>>6078760
why?

>>6075540

THIS

shit like doritos shouldn't even exist. junk food is designed to turn the population into addicts, it provides calories but that's about it. your body will thank you if you just cut it out completely. it's not meant to be food. not REALLY.

>>6078877

and if you eat whole, natural foods that provide your body with the nutrition it needs, you don't even have to count calories. it would be hard to over-eat.

I've been eating frozen peas as a snack for as long as I can remember. They're sweet, crunchy, starchy, healthy, and don't make you feel like shit. Pretty much everything I want in a snack. Frozen corn is pretty good too.

Nori is a healthy crispy snack food. If you're just snacking because you like it and not because you need to eat, it's perfect because it has very few calories. Other seaweed is okay too, but nori is the snackiest.

Some people like kale chips because they don't have that ocean-life taste, but there's way too much oil and other shit on them.

>>6074479

Nori is much harder to get in europe than kale though.
