Tuesday, October 23, 2007 Is Baked Really Better?

Food manufacturers know eating healthier is tops on many people's list. In response, they've developed tons of better snack options for us to buy. But before you pat yourself on the back for reaching for baked chips over regular, have a look at the "savings" per one ounce serving:

Potato Chips Regular: 150 calories, 10 grams of fat Baked: 110 calories, 1.5 grams of fat
Crunchy cheese curls Regular: 160 calories, 10 grams of fat Baked: 130 calories, 5 grams of fat
Nacho corn chips Regular: 140 calories, 8 grams of fat Baked: 120 calories, 3.5 grams of fat

As you can see, baked is a lot better when it comes to the amount of fat, but not really all that different when it comes to calories. Bottom line, don't make the mistake of thinking you can eat more because they're baked. Serving size still matters. Can't eat just one ounce? Look for single-serving packages so you know when it's time to stop.
