For example, the Nutrition labelling: Calories and Reference Intake (RI) on the front of my bag score as follows:

– Energy: 630kj/151kcal
– Fat: 9.5g (14%)
– Saturates: 0.9g (5%)
– Sugars: 10.7g (12%)
– Salt: <0.01g (<1%)

All of those things are good nutrients for your body (sugar isn’t great but its natural sugars not super processed). Fat is not bad for you (the right types at least), its one of the better sources of calories and takes longer (more energy) than sugars to break down resulting in more sustained energy over the course of the day vs a high and then crash with sugars/carbs. You feel fuller faster and generally consume less garbage. Salts are necessary for your nervous system and muscles to function.

Just remember moderation, don’t eat the whole bag in one sitting, of course it would be unhealthy to scarf down 10 servings worth of them (if you’re not a body builder at least that needs that many calories). Have 1 or 2 servings with your meal or as a snack throughout the day.
