If you like chips better, eat chips. The rule here is ‘don’t waste calories’ - not ‘eat chocolate rather than chips.’
ie. instead of buying the cheap stuff you don’t like as much, buy the expensive stuff because it’s costing you more than money—it’s costing calories as well, so you should get the most utility out of it you can, and put on the minimum calories for it. If you happen to like the cheap stuff more per calorie, then eat that. I always feel satisfied quicker with high-quality chocolates than chips and I assume that’s true for most people, but it won’t be for everyone.
From the booklet at link #3:
But what if I enjoy potato chips way more than any chocolate ? This piece of advice sounds weird on all kinds of levels...

Olive Oil fried potato chips from Trader Joe’s are one of my preferred sources of carbs. Wholesome good eating.
