Pork Rinds?

My husband was eating a bag and I noticed that they have 9 grams of protein per 1/2 oz. serving. I had a couple and they were so delicious and did not bother my sleeve at all. I guess it would be too good to be true that pork rinds would be an acceptable snack???

  • I dunnnooooo.......I tried them and the fat really wasn't fun for my sleeve. I am only speaking from what my surgeon said to me ..but he said that a fat can be "toxic" to our tummies. Too much really

    I eat them often for the protein and low carbs. They are perfect for when I'm having a chip craving.

    I have heard that the protein from porkrinds is not good quality protein and does not get utilized by our bodies. I haven't seen any scientific research to back this up though and I haven't looked for

I dunnnooooo.......I tried them and the fat really wasn't fun for my sleeve. I am only speaking from what my surgeon said to me ..but he said that a fat can be "toxic" to our tummies. Too much really wreaks havoc. You may have a better tolerance for them than I do. I was wanting some crunch and salt and low carb, but pork rinds just weren't the answer. (And I think I only ate 3 of them..or close to that number).

I have heard that the protein from porkrinds is not good quality protein and does not get utilized by our bodies. I haven't seen any scientific research to back this up though and I haven't looked for any since I don't like pork rinds so the whole thing is irrelevant to me... BUT if you're looking at them as part of your protein count, you may want to investigate a bit further to see if this rumor has any merit.

I was sleeved on November 9th. I have been snacking on them for a few weeks and have had no problem. I only eat maybe 3 or 4 a day which is plenty (BBQ). But, the crunch and flavor is good.
