Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi everyone! I have a quick question that would normally go to my dietician but she is at a conference this week and i can't get in touch with her on call replacement. I am not getting as much protein in my diet as she recommended b/c i can't stand the protein drinks. So i was at the health food store today and found something called Protein Chips. I'm still learning this whole reading the label thing so I was hoping someone can help me out with it and tell me if it's a good idea to have these along with some protein drinks so i can get the suggested amount of protein. So here is the Nutrition Facts: Serving Size is about 30 chips Serving Size per container is 5.5 Calories = 110 Calories from fat = 20 Total fat = 2.5g Total Carbs = 14g Dietary Figer = 3g Sugar = 1g Protein 10g What do you guys think??

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yeah, what the others said. I wouldn't use these as a substatute for food but only as a crunchy snack and have only a few at that. I'm not sure how far out you are or how much protien you are expected to have but I think after a few weeks it's not so hard to eat your way there. I had bought some soy protien tortilla type chips nacho cheese flavor from Trader Joes and they are nice and crunchy. But, after eating 2 it's kinda nasty. If I can help, just ask Protein Chips Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I have found that the pork rinds, or some call it pork skins are a crunchy treat that is high in protein ( I don't have a bag here to tell you how much) and a serving is like 7-9 pieces. They are tasty by themselvs or with something on them, like egg salad or tuna even salsa if you dare. Which brings me to a question. Is it ok to eat spicy food, if so when would be a good time to try? Thanks Stef Protein Chips Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Actually the chips are very small, probably the size of a Cheese Nip, but you're right I can't even eat 5 much less 30. > I have found that the pork rinds, or some call it pork skins are a crunchy treat that is high in protein ( I don't have a bag here to tell you how much) and a serving is like 7-9 pieces.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Gosh can you eat that many chips? I ate 4 one day and was stuffed. The rule of thumb my dietician gave me (for what it's worth) is stay away from foods that have more carb grams than protein grams. Candi Protein Chips Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I ate those alot before surgery also, but am more careful now with the fats as they do bother my tummy sometimes. But I do eat them now, it is a great protien almost no carb snack that is a real treat. My dog likes them too. I recently read a recipe where they took the skin from the chicken laid it on a cookie sheet and baked the skin. Evedently turns out like pork rinds. Spicy foods are my deal. I like flavor like crazy. I took it slow but I used salt and hella pepper right from the beginning stage of full liquids, probably after a week. I liked adding pepper and salt to my soup and tomato juice. From then, I just do my normal cooking AND even did the chips salsa thing (just a few though) and even made a mango salsa with jalipino ... oh yeah! hot and sweet. I sure liked it! Some folks may not tolerate spicy though. You'll have to be the judge.
