Multigrain Tostitos

Nutritional facts per 14 chips (50 g): 260 calories, 12 g fat (1.5 g saturated, 0 g trans), 0 mg cholesterol, 240 mg sodium, 32 g carbs (3 g fibre, 2 g sugar) 4% calcium, 4% iron. $4 per bag.

Family says: Jennifer liked these ones the best and would buy them next time she goes grocery shopping. “They taste like ‘real’ chips—salty and crunchy.” They reminded Raymond of any old tortilla chip because of how salty they taste.

Dietitian says: The fat and calorie levels are similar to an average serving of potato chips. The sodium happens to be higher than in the other alternative chip choices, making these a lot less healthy then they may seem. The fibre content is also a bit higher, but nothing substantial.
