There’s only one potato chip I normally eat. That’s Pringles. No, I’m not trying to sell them or anything. But the reason I eat them is because they are easy to measure for purposes of counting carbs. When I have chips I have just enough to flesh out my carb limit for that meal. For instance, if I have a turkey sandwich, the only carbs I’m really getting is from the bread. The bread costs me about 20g of carbs per sandwich. So I might have 1 or 2 sandwiches and then flesh out the leftover carbs with 20 or 40 grams of carbs worth of Pringles. If it’s a peanut butter sandwich, the peanut butter costs me 7g per tablespoon which is enough for one sandwich. So in that case, if I want chips, I normally only have one sandwich because it’s hard to eat only (60-27×2=6g) 6g of carbs worth of Pringles.

I also like them because they last longer than most chips and remain in good condition so I can buy them in large quantities on sale and expect the whole chips to still be whole when I eat them. They also have a variety of flavors (one of my favorites is pizza).

Just watch out for low fat Pringles. They actually have less fat but more carbs. So they can be counterproductive especially for someone who is diabetic.

As for the bread I eat, I use Nature’s Own 100% Whole Wheat. The brand is not as important as the 100% Whole Wheat. This one costs me 10g of carbs per slice.
