If you love chocolate chip cookies…
Pepperidge Farm gourmet chocolate chunk cookies can tempt anyone, but with 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 10 grams of sugar in just one cookie, it’s difficult to rationalize eating them on the regular. Kashi TLC oatmeal dark chocolate cookies contain slightly fewer calories and fat, and have only 8 grams of sugar plus, on the flip side, 4 grams of healthy fiber. Annie’s chocolate chip cookies are free of high fructose corn syrup and trans fats, and have only 7 grams of sugar in two cookies.
If you love potato chips…
Fried is yummy, no doubt! But baked is a happy compromise. Baked potato chips cut nearly all of the fat from fried potato chips. And although the texture is slightly different from traditional fried potato chips, the crunch and saltiness of baked chips, like Lay’s Oven Baked Potato Chips in regular and barbecue flavor, is just as satisfying. It’s important to note that frying otherwise healthful foods, like sweet potatoes, may be no nutritional bargain compared to fried potato chips, as it doesn’t resolve the fat issue. The key is in the cooking method.
