Recommended Posts

We are visiting in Chicago and went to the Vitamin store they had small bags of potato chips barbecue and other flavors and they have 21 grams of Protein and 5 carbs and 120 calories anyone ever try them? I am at goal for 5 months now just looking for something crispy and has some salt since my doctor wants me to add salt into my diet because my blood pressure is running low. Just curious.

I LOVE them!! Especially sour cream & onion, and cheddar/ sour cream. They are a bit more airy than regular chips, but DELICIOUS!! Be careful if that is a type of trigger food for you though.

Thanks for the response. No chips are not a trigger food for me. ????just an occasional something with a bit more salty flavor. I bought barbecue and just tried them. They are wonderful. May go back for some sour creme and onion though.

Cheddar is my absolute FAV!! Sour cream & onion, a close second. GNC usually has buy 3 get one free.

I haven't tried these but may in the future.

If you need salt may I recommend pickles and/or olives. I love both and have to watch my intake due to the sodium. You can also get a nice crunchy dill pickle or cornichons if you are missing the "crunch".

Just an idea.

My verdict on Quest chips is a giant yuck. I tried the cheddar and it was like chewing on cardboard. I also don't tend to like their Protein bars which really seems to put me in a minority of people.

Have you tried baking the bars? TOTALLY changes the texture! Try a chocolate chip one, cut into small pieces and bake like Cookies. About 350* and watch closely, they only take a couple minutes. Taste like little Friehoffer's Cookies

thanks for the recommendations, however I don't like either pickles or olives. Not a fan of a lot of food. I don't eat a big variety. I don't eat any foods that are mixed. Lol. I don't like the texture of many many foods. Most of my foods are very simple.

I use the Quest chips in place of bread. I will put hummus on them, tuna on them, avocado on them, cheese on them. It's a great substitute when you really want bread. It tastes better than by itself too.

My NUT recommends lower carb & fat Snacks and higher Protein. Every NUT is different, though so check with yours

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
