SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Cool Ranch Doritos Actually Healthy?
Not really, but not a catastrophe either. An ounce runs 150 calories with 8g of fat and almost nothing in the way of protein or fiber, so there's nothing telling you to stop. The problem with Cool Ranch Doritos isn't any single chip; it's that the serving size and the amount you actually eat have never once matched.
