Ruffles vs Special K

Image
The past two days in a row I have gained weight. This is bothersome because the past two days I walked FIVE miles each day. I decided to examine what I did the day before and what I ate. Nothing really stood out. It was bugging me. So, I broke out the pencil and paper and wrote things out and I saw what contributed to some of the weight gain. I can not say it caused all of the weight gain, but it did enlighten me. So here are my findings. What you see in the picture is ONE serving of two types of chips. On the left is regular plain Ruffles potato chips. On the right is sour cream and onion Special K cracker chips. I thought choosing the cracker chips was better for me than the potato chips, right? ------------------POTATO CHIPS ---------CRACKER CHIPS Serving Size------ 28 g ---------------------- 30 g Calories----------- 160 ---------------------- 110 Sodium------------ 160 mg -------------------- 230 mg Fiber---------------- 1g ---------------------...
