1 - Take a slice of Am cheese, microwave till brown and bubbly, use it like a chip or even a bread substitute. 2 - Pork rinds are avaialbe almost everywhere chips are sold. ---

Air popped popcorn, with a tiny bit of butter and salt. It satisfies several of the chipncravings. ---

> [@Enilno](#): > > How about [Parmesan crisps](http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/parmesan-crisps-recipe.html)? Basically you just take shredded Parmesan and bake it until crispy. Low carb, good amount of protein, kinda high on sodium and fat, but still better than potato chips. These are available commercially in every grocery store in my area, sold as a sort of crouton replacement in the salad/produce section. You can also buy cheddar, pepper jack, romano, etc. I have developed a taste for eating these or pork rinds, often dipped in guacamole. Potato chips now give me severe acid reflux and just aren’t tasty at all, just a sort of mindless crunching food when nothing better is around. ---

I like Almonds and/or walnuts. Switching out salty snacks for those things has helped me lose weight. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/looking-for-recommendations-for-potato-chip-alternatives/770411.md?page=1)
