The only reason 'drying them out' matters is because they are then *less filling* so you are likely to eat MORE. Drying them out means you DO eat them in a way they're not intended. Two or three raw potatoes on their own would be *extremely* filling! In fact just one potato would be plenty, wheras one potato of crisps would NOT fill you up, so you're likely to make two or three potatoes worth - hence you've eaten 2 or 3 times as many calories.
I don't know why you've got hung up on the 'water' thing?
Nothing to do with the 'water' thing, just the amount you're likely to eat compared to if it *wasnt* cooked like that.
Its just one way we 'abuse' food and "use it in a way in which we shouldn't" like you say.
Exactly!
Then you have one weird appetite...
But that's fine - if you use the same amount and serve with beans as part of a meal theres no problem, who said there was?
Forget the water thing! - the only point was if you eat 'dry' stuff you're eating the same amount of calories in 'less' food (crisps dont take up as much space in your tummy as a whole potato!), so you wont get as full on the one potato and are pretty likely to eat MORE than one! Hence more calories.
Anyhow, Im going to bow out of this conversation as I dont seem to be explaining it well enough and I don't want to start upsetting anyone
PS: I still think the best rule is to use your common sense. Does it sound like a good idea to roast chickpeas/microwave crisps and eat them on their own in large quantities as a snack every day? No. Would it be OK on the odd occasion or with a proper meal. Yeah.
Peace x
lets be honest here, you are explaining it more than well !! I and everyone else (if they are truly honest) get it, you couldnt be any clearer. It is a persons individual interpretation thats the key in this discussion...there is a great deal of "guilt" surrounding some peoples diet and some people can embrace theories and think laterally. whereas others immediately see only what they want to see to make them feel better for something they may have eaten or want to eat. its everyones choice at the end of the day dont get so hung up on things just because you dont want to believe them just disregard it*awaits backlash*

You may want to check the fat content of the pack of Nik Naks against the fat content in a whole tin of chickpeas. A tin of chickpeas will fill you up more and be better for you than a packet of Nik Naks, which has virtually no nutritional value.
But each to their own I guess.

Tara, people are always going to disagree with you. As the saying goes, let them eat cake (or Nik Naks) and you keep posting good healthy snack ideas. Everyone's different and what works for one will not always work for another. But don't feel upset chick. It's not worth it! xx
