It's important to note that these are not low carb chips. They are in essence high protein chips, with 4g of protein per serving. In a serving of 20 chips (which are QUITE filling!) you have 16g of carbs, with 2g of fiber, meaning 14g of carbs total. That is quite a lot for a person in induction - but is rather reasonable (and low) for a person maintaining their weight.
I found the texture in these chips to be quite great - crisp, good body, quite tasty! My complaint with soy chips is always that they have a dusty flavor, so this time around I made up some traditional onion soup dip. This involves:
Lipton onion soup mix: 2g / 2 Tbsp
1 container sour cream: 1g / 2 Tbsp
In essence you mix an entire container of sour cream with an entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix. The entire vat of dip ends up being 62g - but you eat it in 2g servings. That ends up being about 4g per serving. That's about just right for the serving of chips - to give it a nice, creamy flavor that goes well with the crispy chip and covers up the dusty nature of the chips.
In fact, I normally get full with about 10 chips, which is only 7g of carbs. So really your entire snack is about 10g carbs total, which for a really nice snack works very well with a maintenance level of low carbing.
Not recommended for the person trying to lose a lot of weight - but if you're craving chips, this is a good alternative to the high-carb normal chip!
