sweet potato chips

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2005/01/31, 03:43 PM picked up some sweet potato chips the other day and they're delicious, wondering how bad they are for me...and if not could i use them to make up my daily calories. the ingredients are cumin,cilantro,cayenne pepper, canola oil,safflower oil, sunflower oil,salt, garlic and very little cane surgar about 2g. a serving. Would i be better making my own..or do these ingredients sound good?

The only thing is fitting the amount you eat into your diet needs. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
