SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Cheetos Crunchy Actually Healthy?
Crunchy Cheetos deliver 160 calories and 10g of fat per ounce with almost nothing else to show for it: 1g of fiber, 2g of protein, and orange fingers. The cheese dust is doing all the work. As an everyday snack, this is one of the easiest ones to trade up from.
