I uploaded a picture of the nutrition facts:

ore ida hash browns would be my frozen junk food of choice for the reasons listed above…however, sometimes I don’t have access to a stove, which is why i’m looking for a ready made snack that I don’t have to cook or store…
. Im blessed with ibs among other inconvenient health problems..
pleaseeeee dont answer: “apple slices or carrots are a great on the go snack!” or “junk food is bad” thanks i know.
I’m working with a dietitian, food allergist, gastroenterologist, dermatologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, and a doc that practices integrative medicine. not hypochondriac, just dealt a wild deck of cards.
im vegetarian and educated. im aware that potato chips are not good for you.
please dont ask me “why cant you snack on something healthy?” why is that important? just answer 🙂 I do eat organic produce WHEN I can.
Also, I eat regular meals throughout the day…Whatever you recommend is a SNACK, it is not my daily nutritional needs.
really not a big fan of products with corn for more reasons than my stomach not agreeing with it (agricultural bullshit) even tho i do like popcorn.
i’ll pass on nuts too
Along with gluten intolerance, I can’t handle oats either, so any type of grains I eat is always rice or potato based, never wheat or corn…
I prefer snacks that are thicker vs thin. example: Ruffles vs lays. (like to take more time to chew each bite)
My fav chips are utz crab and Kettles spicy thai. too bad spicy foods can mess with me sometimes too. LAME… but plain is the way to go i guess
