Chicharron tronador

[Guest guest]

I have found a snack to die for. Fried pork rinds. Every so often I get SUCH

a craving for something salty and crunchy. Have tried satisfying it with

chickpea meal snacks (product of India) and with tortilla chips, trying to

stick to whole grain stuff while I'm sinning.........

Half of a 2-1/4 oz bag of chicarron has 200 calories, most of them from fat

(I know, I know; but I omit a meal when I do this), no sugar, no carbs, and

17-1/2 grams protein. The same oz of tortilla chips is only 140 calories, but

only 2g protein, and a whopping 19g carbs. Am I kidding myself here that the

pork rinds are a better choice, IF I'm gonna snack anyway? I mean, we don't

absorb that much fat, right? So less damage done snacking on almost pure fat

with lotsa protein than on lotsa carbs?? Say yes, say yes................
