Hi Brona,
for the start they are a big no no because they are so high in carbs, and at the start you really want to get all your carbs from vegetables or salads. With time you get to increase your intake of carbs, and you can get a bit more flexible with what foods you choose for your carb intake. It is always better to get the carbs from vegetables, salads, nuts or wholegrains, but but a chip here and there won't do any harm at a later stage, unless you eat an entire cake in one sitting ;-)
Have you heard of fitday.com??
You can enter all the foods you eat each day, and it will tell you the carbs, cals, etc of the food. It is quite handy, especially at the start when you are still trying to change your way of thinking about food ;-)
