I love them too. 

Ugghh I do too. I wish I had more self control because I eat them as I used to eat chips just as a snack but I always eat too many and they are starting to add up In my calories which I need from more healthy foods/veggies. On a plus side they are an easy way to get in my protein lol. Totally trying to justify my addiction now 🤣🤣 

My favorite are the salt & pepper ones, they are a great snack. 

I buy plain, no junk ingredients, just fried pork skins and salt. They are so addictive, I portioned out 14g (one serving) and store in small plastic containers. But I also put them towards back in pantry, so I don't see them. 

Good idea, out of sight out of mind, as they say...  

Oh yes they became junk for me 😅too 

I'm glad I'm not the other one! I thought I was crazy for a bit lol. Maybe I could try the ration out idea and store them. Great tips! Thank you.  

I hate when things like that happen to me. I am trying to take the serving amount put it in a bowl or on a dish, put away the full bag and then go sit on the couch. if I really need to get more then I have to get up, go get the bag, measure another serving amount yada yada yada. this way if I really "choose" to have more it's not as easy. 

Yeah, I weigh them so that I don't go overboard. Putting them in portion containers sounds like a great idea. I've got some ziploc bags that would be perfect. They're great with a water bottle full of ice water. 

I just found some yesterday that are salt and vinegar flavored! Thats my favorite potato chip, I havent opened them yet, but I am worried I will eat the whole bag!!  

Wait, what?? You don't eat them all?? The bags are so small!!! I can't control myself either. You are showing restraint for sure.  

Where did you find that @Klynn82? What brand? I don't really love these things but they come in handy when I need something to snack on. Thankfully, I don't love them so I am not tempted to eat a bunch. The salt and vinegar ones thooooo.....sound amazing. 

They do taste good! 

Love pork rinds. But don’t buy flavored if they have msg. That wicked chemical additive causes your taste buds to inflame so greater surface of the taste bud is exposed to the flavor. In addition, it causes other tender parts in your body to become inflamed and retain water like you got a beating. Better to put your own onion powder and paprika on the plain pork rinds. Less addictive so you’ll eat less. 

HFLC & Keto folks, don’t forget you can crunch on cheese chips. Dry fry mozz/Parmesan gobbies. They flatten out and end up like chips. You can roll them into a tube if you like that. You can dip in full fat sour cream and even spice that up. I turn to radishes chip sliced and dip in Morton Low Salt to get a dash of potassium. 

@Peasy3 I got them at Walmart, they are Tom's. They also had Baken-etts brand but Toms were cheaper. haha. I used to hate them, but the more I eat them, the more it grows on me. I dont eat them often, but I do enjoy having a crunch with my cucumber hoagies.  

I hear ya... just opened a tray of real good cracklins myself. 

Thank you @Klynn82! I have a Wal Mart down the street, I will look for them. 

Thanks for tips JulsRuls. Noooooo Peasy3 don't do it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just pretend like they don't exist lol. Maybe I'll just but the plain kind and not buy the BBQ anymore 😕 I don't care too much for the plain ones buuuut I could dip them in some kind of dip and maybe I can have more sled control that way.  

My issue is the I love the real thing.. Chicharrones..... I avoid going to the Mexican markets in Denver 'cause I know that I will walk out with a ton on them.. As far as cheese crackers go, look up Frico, Italian cheese crisps. So much better than store bought.
