Thursday Thirteen #1 - Salty Snacks

Thought I’d would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week. It’s my first one - so be nice
In my diet and exercise plan - I find that I have certain weaknesses that are really hard for me to combat. Watching my sodium (salt) intake happens to be one of them. Sometime, as much as I want to drop the weight - I just can’t walk away from the salty crispies.
What have I tried to do when I lust for potato chips? I have a few - - but not many.
The following list are thirteen salty snacks that are 100-calorie portions that might just help the salty crunch craving:
- Potato Chips - 12
- Tortilla Chips - 8
- Baked Tortilla Chips - 10
- Corn Chips - 15
- Rye Wafers (such as Ryvita) - 4
- Wheat Thins (reduced fat) - 15
- Ritz Bits - 25
- Triscuits - 4
- Pretzels - 20 thin sticks
- Microwave Popcorn (butter flavor) 1 cup (a handful)
- Rice cakes - 2
- Peanut butter filled crackers - 2 sandwiches
- Popcorn cakes - 2
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

I’ve learned the hard way to discontinue salt intake, heart problems….it’s something a lot of us crave for sure.
Great list.
