These tasty treats tend to have less fat and calories than their traditional counterparts. Be warned though that there are exceptions to every rule so read the labels. For example, a 1-ounce serving of honey mustard pretzels can have as much fat and calories as regular potato chips. Dip into salsa rather than regular chip dips. Most dips from the refrigerator case have a cream base and are therefore higher in fat and calories.
Salsa is usually fat-free and rich in texture and taste.
If only traditional dip will do, buy a packet of dry dip seasoning and mix it directly into non-fat sour cream. Be cautious when buying dry packaged soups. While most of these are low in fat and calories, a few aren't. And since you can't tell the exceptions by the brand name or the flavor, it's important to read the food label to see what you're getting. Deal with late night munchies.
