Watching a game requires something salty and crunchy to go with your beer but keep in mind just 1 oz. of kettle cooked potato chips (approximately 15 chips) have 150 calories and 9 grams of fat. A standard bag of chips is 8 oz., so it's easy to let a chip binge get out of control. Try these instead:
• Baked potato chips are, in moderation, a decent alternative to fried or kettle-cooked chips. With 120 calories per ounce, the calorie content is comparable, but they only have 4.5 grams of fat.
• 1 oz. of air-popped popcorn kernels, which pops up to over 3 cups, has just 110 calories, 1.3 grams of fat and has 4 grams of fiber.
• While nuts and seeds (almonds, peanuts, soy, sunflower seeds, cashews) are calorie-dense—they contain between 120 and 190 calories per ounce—they're high in fiber and good fats, and will also make you feel fuller, longer than starchy chips.
• Another way to satisfy a salt craving is with briny foods like olives or low-sodium dill pickles. Six olives have just 20 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, pickles have zero calories.
