I'm not a big crisp person - I have far too much of a sweet tooth! - but I do like the odd packet now and then. I've always been put off by the fat content though - a 35g bag of standard Walkers crisps contains 11.4g of fat - more than a Crunchie!

Walkers Baked, however, are really good for the waistline - they slash that figure by 70%, to 2 grams! Plus, there are only 98 calories per packet. OK, so they're still not as good for you as fruit, but at least you can feel slightly less guilty about your craving for salty snacks! These low figures are because they're baked rather than fried, which actually makes them taste more like potatoes than 'normal' crisps. However, this rather nice, "natural" effect is somewhat ruined by the fact that the crisps are cut into bizarre and artificial hexagonal shapes, which is a little off-putting at first. The salt content per bag is still very high, at 0.4g.

If you're looking to lose weight this New Year, replacing standard crisps with these might help! They're suitable for veggies and coeliacs and come in the three 'big' flavours - Ready Salted, Salt and Vinegar and Cheese and Onion.
