Once in a while I get this craving for some Tostitos chips with salsa and a bit of nacho cheese. I know it's not the healthiest thing but I was wondering how bad are Tostitos for you? I looked at the ingredients of the ones I have and they are:
Whole White Corn
Vegetable Oil
Salt
I don't see whats so bad about these? I'm I just delusional into the thinking these aren't that bad??

Yes it is bad for you. Any processed junk food like that isn't good for you. Too many calories, too much fat, made with SOYBEAN OIL= VERY BAD.

If you take it sparingly it couldn't do much harm, but don't over do it.
 
Let's start with the fact that they are fried in oil and end with the fact that they're covered in salt. Beyond that, they're awesome.

It depends entirely on the quantity you eat, if you can fit them into your nutritional plan for the day/week then obviously they're fine.
If you were to cut out every high fat or high salt food and joined the humous eating health nuts you'd be bored out of your brain within the week.

They're fried in fat and covered in salt so just adjust the other things you eat that day to allow for the filth and grease of your dirty pleasures :)

to reduce the badness, go for baked tostitoes.

Eating clean is hard when you're younger and you're not the one actually preparing the meals/buying all the food. After workout I get back at 6h15 and Dinner if served shortly after. I don't always have a choice over what my dinner is. The reason I was asking is because once in a while, its a plate of tostitos with some cheese ground beef and peppers/onions,etc.(nachos)
