I just can't give it up

1. So now, the food police is battering Potato Chips. Chips are piling on the pounds.

2. I probably have 20-30 chips a day at lunch. Reduced Guilt Kettle Cooked Chips from Trader Joe's. I love them!!

3. Well. I go to the gym at least 3-4 days a week. Lift weights, cardio, crunches, and other ab work too. I eat low carbs, high protein, low fat meals.

4. So I'll cut back, but eat them anyway. Maybe 10 chips. That will be hard! Once I start it's hard to stop!

5. I will try substituting with something else once the bags are finished. Maybe that will help reduce the bit of fat on my tummy.

6. But then again I should have some food enjoyment in life :P

Your calculations on the previous comment (before editing) were impressive! I will continue to eat the chips. But maybe not so much (I could go through a this 7oz bag in 15 minutes right now!). I will periodically switch out with another snack. Guess better than going through McDonald's for fries twice a day. Now fries are my real weakness! YUM! :)

Well of to the gym :(
Oh! I mean :)

The article was "bogus". The article read:

Potato chips were the biggest dietary offender. Each daily serving containing 1 ounce (about 15 chips and 160 calories) led to a 1.69-pound uptick over four years.

I went out to nutritiondata.com and looked up an ounce of potato chips, standard issue. They're 152 calories per ounce. That's 22.8 pounds of potato chips for 55,480 calories per year.

But, all that only puts on a mere 6-3/4 ounces. Food police, indeed.

Weight is a big issue with me. I go by the qualitative school of thought, meaning that I worry more about what I eat, as opposed to the amount.

So, I have a big list of foods I avoid. A news articles comes out and says I should eat X vs Y, I'm on it.

Now, if the food police told the truth, I'd be 160 pounds. Let me tell you. They lie.
