Question

Is sun chips ok to have for a snack?

Answer 1

Sun Chips are an excellent choice for a snack. They have a lot of fiber. French Onion flavor is my favorite.

Answer 2

They are better for you than Doritos, but next time you see a bag of Frito’s read the ingredients list; corn, salt and oil, that is it.

Answer 3

Ya it's healthy.. and I love it :D.. it's whole grain goodness lol

Answer 4

No.  Read the nutritional value on the package.

Answer 5

Not as good as an apple or orange or one of my personal favourites...strawberries!

Answer 6

yup snack u can have anything from chocolate to chips to pop but for meals try not to include the junkfood.

Answer 7

They are also low in sodium.  So as far as chips go, they are the healthiest.  Multi grain is always better for you anyway.

Answer 8

The best way to tell if something is a good snack is to check the nutrition label in detail, being sure to examine very closely the size of the serving.  You can get a lot of this information online.  I'm not sure what flavor of Sun Chips you're referring to, but here's a link to the nutritional data for original Sun Chips:

There's a great book to help with these questions that's been on the bestseller list for several months.  It's called Eat This, Not That (by David Zinczenko).  It walks you through healthier choices at many chain restaurants as well as fast food restaurants, telling you which choices are good and bad at each restaurant.  It also has a general nutriton section.  In its section on snacks, SunChips Original Multigrain Snacks (15 chips, 1 oz.) was listed in the "eat this" section, with 140 calories, 6 g fat, 1 g saturated fat, 120 mg sodium.

Whether it's "okay to have for a snack" depends on your age, your health, and what else you eat throughout the day.  

For healthy people (as determined by your doctor), once you've okayed that the snack is an "okay" choice, remember that the phrase "everything in moderation" is your best advice.

Whether it's "okay" or preferred is yet another question.  If you have a specified amount of calories to eat each day on average, remember that snacks like Sun Chips are empty calories with no nutritional value.
