Can I eat baked hot cheetos on my diet?
I do count calories. They are 130 calories. Im not trying to eat the whole bag. Are they still bad even though they are baked?

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Baked means they are typically better for you than the regular, but that doesn't mean they have a lot of nutritional value. Look at the nutrition facts. Does a serving have a lot of good things in it? If it doesn't have a good amount of protein or vitamins, and is mainly carbs and salt, then it is basically empty calories. That means you ingest the calories but there is very little in the food that your body can use, so basically you are wasting those calories instead of putting something good in your body that it can use.
You do need carbs, by the way, but Cheetos aren't the healthiest way to get them. Stick to whole grains when eating carbs. Whole grain bread and pasta are good options.
Don't torture yourself, you can treat yourself to a snack or dessert every so often depending on your progress. If you are one who eats really well but then gives up at the end of the night and binges on something, then giving in to your cravings just a little bit will keep you from overdoing it later.
Good luck,
