Sport Is This Healthy?

Hey all,

I just got a hold of a new little snack food - White Cheddar Soy Crisps. I realize that they're probably not the BEST things in the world (something natural and fresh would probably be better) but I was wondering if this is "pretty healthy." I'm a student and when I get stuck in my dorm working on something, I need something to snack on and right now it's either this, chocolate, trail mix (nuts, raisins, M&Ms), or Milanos, so I figure that this is my best bet. I'm just wondering if I'm killing myself slowly by eating this or if it's actually good for me. Anyway, to the point:

I would go with the nuts instead. One oz is pretty small IMO, most people who eat snack food eat farm more than a serving size. Thats a lot of sodium and those carbs will really add up. I'm sure the protein from those is not as good as the protein that is in nuts. Try grabbing an apple instead. Anything you do snack on (if you really have to snack) eat small amounts. I would recommend just drinking water to fill yourself up between meals, thats what I do anyway.
