Can man live on nachos alone?

Of course

Absolutely. The only thing I'd suggest is make your own chips. (just deep fry some cut up corn tortillas*) Not necessarily more healthy but certainly more delicious!

* a quick google turned up this recipe for baked corn tortilla chips. Not sure how good it is (the reviews claim quite good), but baked homemade chips would turn nachos into a relatively healthy meal. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20...ortilla-chips/

Of the three macronutrients--carbohydrates, fats, proteins--only fat has no effect on blood sugar or insulin. It is completely neutral. Fat is not the problem, as long as it a naturally-occurring one, and not an industrial seed oil or an artificially hydrogenated oil. Old myths die hard.

Thank you for such an important public service announcement. I will now stop feeling guilty about making homemade tortilla chips and fried potatoes as part of my weekend breakfasts!

Oh. I actually just had the bad kind for my dinner...it was really good but I'll pay for it later. Chips are hard on my tummy.

Depends on the oil used for frying -- and the tortilla dough and potatoes most definitely have an effect on blood glucose, particularly the "white" versions of both.

I wasn't going to mention that--why harsh the buzz? And then there's acrylamide...
Avocado oil, coconut oil, and lard are all good for frying.

Of course but not very long, it's so boring!
