Great advice and recipe. Recently, I’ve started eating pre-packaged foods such as small bags of baked potato chips. It’s not a lot of calories and it helps me control how much I eat.

Fries are my downfall so you can bet I will be using these tip. I didn’t know that McDonald’s fries were sprayed with beef extract.

The title of this article was a little misleading! Baked “fries” are OK as far as that goes, but fries are fries! Lots of good info in this article otherwise…
BTW: McDonald’s fries are sprayed with beef extract! Vegetarians and non-beef-eaters should beware.

Very good point, poster25… I’m the same way. As soon as I’d vow to cut something out of my diet, I’d be setting myself up for failure.

Also, it is the way that you cook things. I used to coat chicken with flour and an egg batter before frying it in a vat of grease. Now, I just coat it with a few seasoned bread crumbs and use Pam. It’s still delicious.

I refuse to deprive myself of my favorites. I just try to find healthier ways to eat them.

I think we just need to look for creative and healthy ways to prepare foods.

Katharina, I love the butter spray idea.

making your chips in the oven is a good idea… potatoes themselves are not bad for people on diets… it’s what you put on them!

Katharina, thanks for the tip about spray butter, I use it sometimes and it is really nice on jacket potatoes.

With a title like this, I *had* to rush in here to read it. And I enjoyed the article.

One extra tip… for those baked potatoes when you can’t have the butter and sour cream. Try the spray butter. They claim 0 calories although I suspect there are a few calories. In any case, it’s great on baked potatoes and veggies and I use a lot of that now.
