What is as equally satisfying as crisps but not?

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

I’m currently on Weight Watchers and using the pointing system...I bloody love crisps but can’t quite justify the 6 or so points! (Minimum..:I love crisps!)
So what can I swap the crisps for? Or does anyone know of any magic crisps that are v low in points for a reasonable amount?!

Actually, those chilli puffs you can get hit the spot, probably because they're packed to the gills with msg, I should think. Delicious

I make thinly sliced tomatoes as a substitute- slathered with salt and vinegar. It's a pretty good snack. It's the salt and vinegar I'm mostly craving.

Salt and vinegar flavoured snack a jacks aren’t too bad-taste a bit like walkers flavoured cardboard, but it’s quite a nice taste .

Chickpeas roasted with salt and spices are a nice snack.

Also, soup is not an acceptable substitute for crisps.

I second the pea snacks from Aldi, they're lovely! Also the lentil curls. And there's some spicy chick pea ones which are great too.

I too love crisps and as such I am fat. I have decided to just have 2 bags a week and I am doing well so far. My thoughts are, even thin people eat crisps, just not 3 bags a day like me😂. Try to just limit yourself but not deprive yourself.

Pombears are lower in calories and delicious.

Some excellent ideas here thank you! I especially appreciate the points information!

I bought some walkers baked last night which were 3 points and half a bag of them are JUST about satisfying!

And miso soup may be reasonably tasty but it is not a bag of salty, crunchy goodness!!

A few nuts. Roasted, spiced chickpeas are good as pp suggested.

Hula hoop puft - same flavour as a normal bag of normal hula hoops, plenty of crunch, less than half the points (think they're 2 sp a bag). Not as filling though so great sub for a craving/snack habit but not to replace part of a meal or to tide you over till meal time. Beef ones are the best of course ☺

Not gonna lie, quite like roasted carrot, potato and beetroot crisps! Have done cucumber crisps too but they're not for me!

Do french fries, quavers, etc really count as crisps if you're a proper crisp fan?

@IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece I see someones got there before me with the Walkers Baked but I am also a WW member and they are absolutely my go-to. Cheese and onion flavour, 3 points a bag, followed by Butterkist cinema sweet popcorn, 2/3 points depending where you get the multipack from.

Pistachios 💚

@MissBartlettsconscience it counts as two lots of 3 (rather than 7) if you log one as part of your lunch, and the other a mid afternoon snack!

Do you pay attention to the crisps when you’re eating them or do you eat them while reading/watching tv/on your phone?

Pom bears or teddy faces/froggles from Lidl/Aldi. pea snacks, lentil curls. All max 3 points. I bag. Not all of them!

If you like the flavour of seaweed those Itsu seaweed thins are lovely - very salty and savoury and crisp, and only 22 calories a packet.

I fourth (fifth?) the Itsu seaweed thins. Surprisingly satisfying!

Following with interest in also a crisp addict and on slimming world a packet of crisps is six syns where can I find seaweed thins?

'It looks like dandruff flakes'

Me too! Nothing like a lovely bag of hula hoops (my fav) or Walkers Smokey Bacon!

However, I have found a good alternative - co-op own brand lentil tubes - sweet chilli flavour. Really pack a punch in the flavour stakes and are nice and crunchy - 114 calories a bag!

How many points in a potato?

I bought I little gadget from Asda that makes microwave crisps from just potato slices and seasoning. It’s amazing, they do really crispy! And it was only £4

Aldi Snackrite French fries are 2 points per bag.

How many points in a potato?

It depends on the weight of the potato. 1 medium potato (180g) is approx. 7 points. It's not really worth it though because you can have 2 bags of walkers (multi pack) for 8 points.
