POTATO CHIP

Corazonas Heart-Healthy Potato Chips, Slightly Salted Forty percent less fat than regular potato chips and infused with natural plant sterols proven to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. They're thick, crunchy, and satisfying. The trick is sticking to one serving: one-sixth of a bag (portion it out into a small bowl and put the rest away), which provides 130 calories, 6 g of fat, and 0.5 g of saturated fat, with a bonus 2 g of fiber.
