Myth: I can't eat chips if I'm trying to stay in shape

Fact: Some chips contain more fat than others - for example, chips from your local chippie are likely to have more than 12 percent fat - 394 calories in a 165g portion of chip shop chips vs. 216 calories in a 165g portion of Rustics. But not all chips are unhealthy. McCain Rustics have less than three percent fat, they're considered to be a low-fat food.

Myth: Healthy eating is boring

Fact: A healthy balanced diet is far from boring and you can still include your favourites in moderation. Better still, many classic treats have now been given a healthy makeover, so we can enjoy them without the guilt factor. For example, McCain Rustics are the first chips to get a green light for fat, saturates, sugar and salt and have the skins left on to retain their natural goodness.
