For a lower-calorie afternoon portion, start with the calories in the pack you intend to eat: Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies contain 82 kcal per 18g bag, while Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt contains 96 kcal per 22g pack, according to their manufacturers. Those portions differ in size, so compare pack weight and salt as well as calories; a larger lentil-crisp serving may suit a different appetite without being the lower-calorie choice.
If you want a savoury afternoon snack with a stated calorie figure, an individual bag lets you compare the amount you plan to eat. Check its weight too: an 18g bag and a 30g serving are different amounts of food.
A lower pack-calorie figure does not establish a lower salt content. Compare salt per pack and per 100g on the exact flavour; the NHS defines more than 1.5g salt per 100g as high.
Lentil crisps, baked potato crisps and conventional crisps offer different portion sizes and declared nutrition. If ingredients or allergens affect your choice, check the current label for the specific flavour rather than relying on a brand name.
Choose the amount you expect to eat, then read the calorie and salt figures for that amount alongside the per-100g panel.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portion calories | Read kcal per bag or stated serving, its weight in grams, and kcal per 100g. Manufacturer figures put Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies at 82 kcal per 18g bag and Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt at 96 kcal per 22g pack. | I want to know the calories in the portion I will actually eat, not just whether one packet has a smaller number on the front. |
| Salt | Compare salt per portion and per 100g for the exact flavour. The NHS describes more than 1.5g salt per 100g as high; Seabrook declares 0.3g salt in an 18g Sea Salted Crunchies bag. | Calories are not my only consideration, so I want to check how much salt comes with my chosen portion. |
| Snack format | Compare serving weight and declared nutrition rather than assuming baked or lentil-based means fewer calories. Tyrrells lists 140–141 kcal and 3.9g protein per 30g serving for its named lentil-crisp flavours. | A 30g lentil-crisp serving may appeal to me even though it has more stated calories than the smaller Seabrook and Walkers examples. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredient list, suitability statements and precautionary allergen wording for the precise flavour and pack. | I need the product I buy—not merely its brand—to meet my ingredient or allergen requirements. |
Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies are declared at 82 kcal for 18g, while Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt is 96 kcal for 22g. The smaller calorie figure comes with a smaller portion.
Decide how much you expect to eat, then compare both kcal per portion and kcal per 100g.
Format alone does not establish a salt figure. Tyrrells declares 0.60g or 0.63g salt per 30g serving for its named lentil-crisp flavours.
Check salt per serving and per 100g on the flavour you intend to buy.
Suitability and precautionary allergen wording can differ between products. Walkers lists precautionary allergens for its Oven Baked Sea Salt crisps.
For an allergy or specific dietary requirement, read the current label and manufacturer information for the exact product.
The figures below describe named products or stated ranges, not every crisp made by each brand.
The Oven Baked Sea Salt line offers a stated individual portion for comparison.
Sea Salted Crunchies come in an 18g bag, so their pack figure reflects a small portion.
Its named lentil-crisp flavours provide a larger stated serving than the small potato-snack packs above.
Lightly Salted is a conventional hand-cooked potato crisp rather than one of the small-portion examples.
Salted is a ridged conventional crisp to assess by its own pack size and label.
Sea Salt is another conventional crisp with per-100g nutrition available for comparison.
These options include baked crisps, popped potato snacks, lentil cakes and seaweed snacks. Some are alternatives to crisps rather than conventional crisp packets; compare the portion stated on each product label.

A popped potato snack in an 85g bag. Check the label’s serving size and calories if you plan to eat less than the whole bag, and review its allergen information.

These lentil cakes offer a different format from crisps in a 100g pack. Check the nutrition panel for the number of cakes in your intended portion and read the current allergen label.

Six individual 22g bags make it straightforward to choose one pack as an afternoon portion. This is a variety pack: check each included flavour’s nutrition and allergen label rather than applying the Sea Salt figures to every bag.
No image available
This popped potato snack comes as five 17g bags, rather than one larger bag. Check the calories and salt stated for a 17g portion and whether that portion suits your afternoon snack.
No image available
Three 5g seaweed-snack packs offer a different texture and much smaller stated portion than a conventional crisp bag. Check calories and salt per pack as well as per 100g, plus the current allergen label.
Check both. Calories per bag or stated serving describe the portion you plan to eat; kcal per 100g help you compare products sold in different-sized portions. Seabrook declares 82 kcal for an 18g Sea Salted Crunchies bag, while Walkers declares 96 kcal for a 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt pack, so keep the weights alongside the figures.
No: compare salt separately on the exact product. Seabrook declares 0.3g salt per 18g Sea Salted Crunchies bag, while Walkers declares 0.19g per 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt pack. The NHS defines more than 1.5g salt per 100g as high, making the per-100g figure useful when portion sizes differ.
Not necessarily for the stated portions here. Tyrrells declares 140–141 kcal and 3.9g protein per 30g serving for its named lentil-crisp flavours, compared with 82 kcal per 18g Seabrook Sea Salted Crunchies bag and 96 kcal per 22g Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt pack. Decide which portion size and format you want before comparing pack calories.
Check the exact product and its current label. KETTLE states that Lightly Salted is gluten-free and suitable for vegans and vegetarians, while REAL makes a vegetarian and gluten-free statement about its range. Such statements do not replace ingredient and precautionary allergen checks for the pack you buy.
