Metabolism and food 1 day vs many

Eating all at once will put on more fat, as the body can only have so much glucose in the blood. Insulin is produced to turn that excess glucose into fat. If you eat large amounts, or small amounts regulary then you will have higher insulin levels causing more fat to be stored. If you spread the pringles out over days, and you leave gaps in your eating causing your blood glucose to drop, then the body produces glucagon, which converts fats into glucose. so you could eat the pringles and loose weight. its all about how you eat, and when you eat more than calories in... to a point. If you're pre diabetic, or diabetic then your body has a hard time regulating insulin, causing you to gain weight easier.

What about the chew test above though ? Surely one sitting of Pringles will be harder to digest than multiple sittings as it's not clumped into a mass in the stomach and gut ??

Wouldn't make a difference with pringles, as they are very high on the glycemic index. Take mash potato vs sugar, you are better off eating pure sugar than mash potato as sugar is lower on the glycemic index. Pringles once wet and in the stomach are pretty much mash potato with flavour. They are pretty much instantly absorbed.

So really it's best to sprinkle some sugar on them first ?

It really isn't more about the how and why more than the calories. It's all about the calories intake in reality. Any of the metabolic changes are negligible here, especially as we are looking at the same foo item.
 
Are you allowed a dip with them? If so will it stay fresh if you spread the eating over say a 5 day period. I think if you’re having a dip with them I’d go for a single sitting. Can’t help with the calories question mind you.
