Can i build muscle eating healthy potato chips?

[Javfly33]

Do this potato chips are really "healthy"?

I say they are healthy because they are fried in virgin olive oil.

I found a potato chips brand that only have this 3 ingredients:

1- Potatoes

2- Extra virgin olive oil (48%)

3- Salt.

So even though potatoes are not a very good carb, they are very easy for me to eat. I can eat a whole bag which is 150gr in a matter of minutes and it gives me 900calories.

Getting so easily such a amount of olive oil seems very promising but my only doubt is...how many times do they use that oil?

It wouldn´t be healthy if they use it a lot to save costs.

So any information about this type of "healthy" food would be appreciated.

nah man, treat yourself occasionally  I did not mean to demonise them completely just save them for your Friday night movie or that Saturday Netflix marathon you know

I know but I don't like them that much tbh. If I want to get a treat I'll get a snickers bars which I love ?.

Actually there's something about this chips (or in general about potato chips I guess) which makes me suspect and is that they are tremendously fiendish.

Like I start eating some and then "I have to" finish the damn bag. I used to think that feeling was because of addictives and chemicals in candy bars or processed foods. But this potato chips only have those 3 ingredients. So maybe either they processed method is sketchy or either potato chips has a weird thing that makes them very fiendish (maybe is the combination of carbs+fats+salt which makes it very palatable for the organism?)

You can also try to substitute your snickers bar for medjool dates with walnuts. Just open it and exchange the seed for whatever raw nut you like.

Thanks for idea  that seems a really interesting good combination

Is building muscle your only vision for your health?

80/20 Rule: You can enjoy 20% of your calories from junk sources. But you lose a lot of the nutrition from regular potatoes and they're very starchy. Potato chips are the better option if they cooked with olive oil. For building muscles if you don’t feel like eating whole, natural food sources that tend to be high in volume.  You should consider taking amino acid which is a great supp. https://www.vitaminexpress.org/uk/amino-acids-supplements You can take it before the workout to give you a boost of energy(not like caffeine or another stim tho, its more like energy on a cellular level).

I think you should completely eliminate chips from your diet if you want your muscles. Even if you do well in the gym, you will have muscles under the layer of fat that you ate thanks to the chips. In general, you can try building muscle with HGH. This can be done even while at home. If interested, you can read about it here.

Michael did it justice here.

Regarding the OLIVE OIL --> Its UNSATURATED AND HEATED, that means it goes rancid, and is oxidated --> causes cell, tissue and dna damage in your body.

Actually the most toxic part of any potatoe chip brand is the oxidized oil (most of the time they even use vegetable oils, which are even more heat sensitive).

You never want to heat olive oil (only very mildly if you must). Avoid vegetable oils all together. 
 

If you want to eat potato chips for some carbs, then go for coconut oil fried brands. 
Coconut oil is saturated fat, thus way more heat stable, so you dont get the rancicity and the oxidative damage!

If you want more healthy calories add nuts, nutt butters,

@Michael569 I disagree with this though. 

Nut Butters (e.g. Peanut Butter) is incredibly high in oxidized fats. Nut fat is poly unsaturated and now they are roasted and highly processed. 
What is left is very oxidized fat, phytic acid (plant poison against mammals eating their seeds). Dont get trapped by the labels promise of high protein. Its true, but I doubt it out-weights the downside


If you eat a lot of nut butter you should heavily supplement with Vitamin E to somehow counter the oxidative cell damage
