What is it about the tortilla chips that make them so high carb? Is it the processing, the additives, the corn itself?
Not a dumb question.
Like nyconse stated in his reply #114. It's the processing.
Now this is just my experience and opinion but having corn on the cob or a baked potato once a week doesn't put on the pounds.
It's eating the processed pototo and tortilla chips that does.
I appreciate the responses from both of you.
I have always been of the idea there are no dumb questions, but considering I was posting on a thread about carbs, I had no qualms abut making my ignorance of the facts known.
I grew up in the city, but my parents were always big on fresh fruits and vegatables. I've been big on them for years more because I'm cheap than any other reason. I've always loved having a garden, the bigger the better and I either freeze, can or dry the excess.
We eat a pretty balanced diet of (for lack of a better phrase) a bit of just about everything, including a certain amount of processed foods. We don't eat out a lot, and I enjoy cooking from scratch. I will admit I will admit, though store bought stuff, like pasta, chips, and cookies, is mandatory in the summer - I heat up the kitchen enough without adding baking and such to it!!!!
