Substitute for potato chips

[Madd Hatter]

Ok, so it's finally dawned on me, perhaps one reason I can't shake my gut is because my nightly dinner is a turkey sub, water, and Lays regular potato chips. I thought about switching to Baked Lays, but they're expensive as hell and taste like crap. So I was just wondering if any of you guys eat regular potato chips, or if you could suggest something to substitute with for a meal with a sub.

I dont touch the stuff. I'd rather have a turkey sandwich on whole wheat, a banana and water. Chips are high in fat, calories and carbs. You might want to replace it with low sodium crackers which have less taste than Baked Lays chips. For some reason i just have it in my head that this type of stuff cannot be eaten on a regular basis. If you train hard and have the proper diet to go with it then there is no room in your diet for chips. Your better off eating 2 turkey subs than eating 1 sub and chips.

If you're trying to lose that gut, you need to stay out of Subway entirely, despite what their ads say. If you must eat there, the only other thing I could think of that they offer to eat with your sub would be a diet soda, nothing else.

I'm with gymtime on this one!! It might sound extreme but if you really want to lose that gut - you've got to be brutally strict with the diet....unless you've been blessed with a crazy metabolism there's just no way you can get away with eating processed snack foods (even the baked variety!!)...

After awhile you won't miss that stuff anyway - just hang in there and visualize those abs rippling as you stroll down the beach....or whatever other fantasy you prefer....

high GI carbs for a meal at night ! not if you want to lose the gut. stick to fibrous (veggies) carbs at nigh or a very low GI fruit like apples.

You've got to stop eating chips if you want to lose the gut.

Also if you must have a sub, you're much better off making your own sub using lean breast meat and less fatty spreads, etc.

Chips are super good tasting, but super bad for you. A bag has what... 20 grams of saturated fat?
When I NEED something crunchy I go for low fat pretzels (Old Dutch Thins in Canada) - 30 pretzels is only 100 cal. Tons of Sodium though. Or I go for Orvilles light popcorn.
I like those baked lays, they kinda taste like pringles.
