Hum? Time to find some more salty snacks. I do like cheese and crackers for a snack too. I do agree with the portion sizes that each company determined. All of my snacks were under 200 calories except the potato chips. This research inspires me to put the potato chips last on my list. So, do your research on your favorite snacks and maybe you will be influenced to purchase one over the other and make a healthier choice.
