What was your favorite pig out food when you were gaining weight?
I love potato chips, so that was a good thing for me. I’m a salty girl so I had my secret stash with me of potato chips at all times.

喜欢吃咸的零食
Extract from an article: "Charlize Theron calls herself "a salty girl" when it comes to snacking. She loves potato chips."
There are many kinds of snacks. Some are sweet and others are spicy, sour or salty. Charlize Theron fancies the salty stuff (she loves the chips). I guess she stuffs in other salty food besides the chips too.
"Salty girl" - "咸妹" (sounds wierd.... can't we just say "喜欢吃咸的零食"????)

Reply to clear\'s note:
How did you derive at \"不太老实\"??? \"Salty\", as an adjective, has another definition: engagingly stimulating or provocative. So far, I have not seen \"salty\" being used with a connotation of \"dishonest\" in English context.
Actually, I think it is really that straightforward, that she likes salty food. Refer to the link in these two sentence: \"...calls herself \"a salty girl\" when it comes to snacking. She loves potato chips.\"
