What is the most unreasonable? Chocolate biscuits or crisps?

[donkeypuzzle]

I seem to be coping with lockdown with small children by eating lots of snacks. So if it going to be bad, is savoury any better for me? Some crisps are potatoes vegetables, some snack ones more wheat obviously. Or are 20 biscuits just as bad as multiple packets of crisps ? I seem to be one of the other ? And yes I do need to loose some weight

If you don't like dark chocolate then it doesn't stop the cravings. Because it's not nice. Despite all the stuff about thiobromide and chocolate having physiological effects, the "craving" is not actually drug-based. It's taste.

I don't think there's much to choose from between sweet and savoury, to be honest. Sweet might have more effect on your teeth. I suppose if you have issues with salt you might have to worry more over crisps. [I've never yet managed to discover whether having reasonably low blood pressure means you don't need to be concerned about your salt intake]

As to how to deal with it - it really is just a question of decisions. I have split my easter chocolate into Single Day sizes (but there's actually nothing to stop me eating two in one day).

YABU for doing an either/or.

So to answer the question chocolate and crisps, but it depends on landing that very elusive delivery slot.

You’re lucky if you can get crisps even if you get a delivery slot. I’ve got an Ocado order coming at the weekend and they don’t have any big crisps multipacks.
I’ve been trying to get a box of Maltesers for weeks but they’re like gold dust.
DH managed to get me some Minstrels a couple of days ago but I still can’t get Galaxy.

I always prefer savoury but I doubt it's any better. The air filled kids crisps such as quavers and ringos will be far lighter in calories though

@ItsACounty maybe you should try shopping in Aldi? I worked in the local warehouse for a week recently and we were shipping out pallet after pallet of multi packs of crisps.

Just eat both.

I think the link to salt and high blood pressure was disproven. I'm just going for everything in moderation.

Anything that has 'syns' SINS! HAHA. Did you see what they did there?! can fuck right off.

A chocolate orange counts as fruit.

I’d say crisps are safer snacks. 100-120 cals for a packet but unlikely to have two packets. 80 odd for a chocolate digestive but harder to stop at one, plus....sugar.
But I’m biased because I prefer savoury.
Also small glass of wine 120 cals so.....

@Justlovesdogs
Stop it, I’ve got crisps withdrawal symptoms 😀 and we can’t go to Aldi (which I really like) because I’ve got severe asthma and we’re trying to avoid going to supermarkets.

This thread is now making me desperate for crisps and chocolate 😂
Don’t compromise Op, have both - eat my share.

Good point Althecandles What are you drinking with it DonkeyPuzzle?

Wine goes better with crispd but I think tea goes better with chocolate biscuits...unless you have Baileys

Potato crisps are better nutritionally (or perhaps I should say less bad) than biscuits. Containing vitamin C, E, potassium, fibre. Biscuits very little apart from carbohydrate (much of it sugar) really.

Sorry, not trying to monopolise the thread but ..........
Someone once told me that you can eat whatever you want - crisps, sweets, cream cakes, biscuits etc as long as you eat a healthy piece of fruit as well 😀

(I don’t actually believe that by the way).

@PigletJohn

No one seems to have mentioned aero bubbles. Technically, they are mostly air.

What about popcorn ? Make your own add a little sugar or salt? (Or as I pointed out to the DC mix food colours as well to make coloured popcorn and call it an art lesson)

If you want to be h

*healthy then baked kale can be nice but I am a heathen who won't be parted from her 85% coco chocolate and has been known to nibble the really hard stuff !

What is more unreasonable will IMO depend entirely on what you happen to fancy at the time. If it’s chocolate biscuits then obviously crisps are unreasonable.

Agree with @TaTuirseOrm ,I can take or leave chocolate im a bit whatever about it crisps however ......

It is well known that broken biscuits don't count as calories, OP.

@ItsACounty sorry, didn't mean to upset you about Aldi... Love your thinking with the piece of fruit, though.
Incidentally, I was once told that eating raw onion with cheese would help break down the fat in the cheese so that it was less fattening...

Stick with the crisps - Chocolate biscuits make the accompanying Gin or Wine taste funny.
