Are pork rinds sliders?

They have 7g of protein but are these considered slider foods? Would you recommend them?

    Yeah, pork rinds are so nutritious. Mostly fat. The bad kind. All that sodium. Rolling my eyes.

For me, I'd be wary of them more as a trigger food than a slider.

Sliders are things that pass right through and don't leave us satiated. The Protein in these should stay with you. I'd just start to think of them as chips...which are a trigger food for me.

Id say they almost lean towards yes in a sense. Takes awhile to get full from them and they are high in calories. Id say for a here or there snack sure but I'd measure out an amount and when you are done that's that.

So glad someone asked this! I tried one last weekend and wow was it good! BUT for me, I am concerned it could be a trigger food (if in fact I could eat more foods I wanted). I recall eating it so fast! But boy did I love having something crunchy for once! I can see how I might have them in the future but I will have to just get a couple and then get rid of the bag or something or I will be right back where I was eating an entire bag of Ruffles... (Boy do I miss Ruffles! :P )

Sliders are anything that you can eat too much of without feeling full as you much away. For example, Wheat Thins and most types of bland crackers are sliders for me. I have not had pork rinds since I was probably 19 or so but I feel like they might not be the most optimal choice because there is a lot of fat and sodium, despite the level of Protein. If you can pour yourself out a single serving as a treat, nothing wrong with that though! Just be able to walk away from the rest of the bag..
