Ruffles Light chips have "1/2 the calories of regular potato chips". But saving 70 or 80 calories per serving is not reason enough to buy them.

 

All of Frito Lay's Lights (Ruffles, Lays, Doritos, and Tostitos) are made with Olean (olestra), a fake fat that passes right thru your digestive system, taking fat soluble vitamins with it.  Worse, olestra laden chips can cause severe cramps, bloating and a kind of "leakage" that I am not about to explain in greater detail.

 

Why run the risk , like you do with the lights. Instead of the usual 160 calories per ounce, reduced fats and bakeds clock in at around 120 to 140. But at least you will not need to make sure you are within sprintging distance of a bathroom.

 

If you want baked chips, try Kettle Bakes ( actual slices of potato) or Baked Lay's or Ruffles.  Just don't assume that baked chips are the equivalent of baby carrots and clementines. White potatoes are not the healthiest vegetable, no matter how you slice them.
