Glenny’s Yummy Low-cal Soy Crisps

Soy.  Just the name seems to turn off so many people, making folks think of flavorless tofu or crunchy hippies and their often tasteless meals (no offense to you crunchies out there!).  I was one once of those.  But I changed.

My Glenny Soy Crisp story began when I came upon these in a neighborhood store, and decided to try them, not paying any attention to the ingredients or the nutrition info.  I popped one in my mouth and was literally floored: they were amazingly yummy.  So much, that I ate the whole 3 oz. bag.  But here’s the thing: you don’t need to feel guilty and this is why:  the whole bag contains 3 grams of fat and 170 cal.  So, I have purchased bag after bag since and the barbecue flavor easily surpasses in flavor my favorite BBQ potato chips and of course, I don’t have to hit the gym for hours to burn it off.   These chips help curb my snack attack because they are loaded with protein and little to no fat.

What’s more, eating a few small healthy snacks between meals helps with weight loss by keeping cravings down plus if your meals are not perfectly balanced, snacks can help you meet healthful guidelines for calcium and protein intake.  Studies have even shown that eating several small meals a day instead of three large ones is better for your health and helps your weight loss by keeping your metabolism revved up.  You know you can’t beat that.  Plus now the FDA recommends 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Increasing the amount of soy in your diet is easy to achieve with Glenny’s snacks. One serving contains 9g Pure Non-GMO Soy Protein, which is more soy protein than tofu or soy milk.   Finally, 100 Calorie Glenny’s snacks let you control your portion sizes and properly count your calories so you can stay fit and slim.
