I bought some fruit and nuts from the frito lay dispay at the grocery store thinking that I was making a healthy choice. As I read, I see that the calories, fat and fiber are all comparable. The only real difference is the sodium is much higher on the Doritos. Are the fruit/nuts really a healthier choice?? Why??

they are a healthier choice because they provide many of the nutrients that your body needs whereas Doritos don't. Fruits have vitamins and such. Both fruit and nuts do not have preservatives or unnatural ingredients such as yellow #50 (or whatever) that can hurt your system. Fruits and nuts may have the same calories and such but overall they are beneficial in other ways that Doritos aren't.

Yes. Nuts have essential fatty acids that are great for you. Doritos are manufactured, stripped of any nutrients. Essentially it is just chemicals that do nothing but make you fat. The fat in chips are not healthy at all. Stick with nuts, but don't eat too much or it will make you fat and not be healthy for you. A handful a day is good.

Go with the fruit. Trail Mixes are great.
Although they may contain preservatives they provide natural sugars and all else for the body. Eating fruit instead of eating candy can still give your body the 'natural' things it needs. Including sugars and vitamins. Doritos are 50% fake.

Fruits and Nuts are much better, they're natural without many of the preservative and processing which are in your bag of Doritos. Additionally, there are tremendous amounts of vitamins and minerals, and beneficial fats which are in nuts which can't be found as easily elsewhere.
If it leaves orange powder on your fingers, don't eat it!

yes the fruit and nuts are healthier as long as they are fresh and not processed. they are healthier because they have protein and vitamins in them that help your body. if something doesn't have protein and vitamins in it( like Doritos) it automatically works against your body making it worse then fruit and nuts.

i'm a vegetarian besides and eating nuts, beans, legumes, broccoli and tofu and astonishing supplies of protein. at the same time as you're actually not from now on a vegan then skim milk, low fat cottage cheese, and boiled egg whites are great source of protein besides. in case you may face up to junk food for a quantity of time you will start to crave 'junk food' much less and finally you will no longer even like it yet on occasion. attempt eating bananas, apples, melons or dried berries as candies. Peanut butter and apples are very plenty with yet now no longer too plenty peanut butter. something i love to do is get low fat vanilla yogurt and combine in chopped berries or only a sprint of warmth chocolate blend and placed it in an ice cube tray with mini popsicle sticks and freeze it. it extremely is thoroughly plenty with it extremely is healthy and trouble-free to make to now no longer element out stable factor administration. choose it extremely is of a few help. there are various diets and so on even with in spite of if it extremely is only making the main suitable judgements as far as what you do or do now no longer put in on your physique that extremely counts.

Thats a lie. Doritos covers the 3 main food groups -
fried
crispy
spicy

there are 2 kinds of fats, saturated and unsaturated.
saturated = bad
unsaturated = good
nuts = unsaturated fats
doritos = saturated fats
therefore,
nuts = good
doritos = bad
And as far as fruits go, fruits are packed with good stuff to help you keep your figure, or, if neccesary, lose weight
hope that helps!
