The Unhealthiest Potato Chips On the Planet — Eat This Not That

Sometimes, you just want to dive into a bag of potato chips, and that’s OK! We all get those salty, crunchy cravings, right? But if you want to minimize the bloat that comes after or you need to be diligent in watching your salt intake, it’s important to know which chips to steer clear of. You can still enjoy a crunchy snack while making smarter choices, and the first step is by avoiding the unhealthiest potato chips that are on store shelves.

From high sodium levels to excess fats and even questionable ingredients, these chips—many of them the popular ones you likely grew up loving—are best left on the shelf. Here’s a breakdown of the worst potato chips you shouldn’t bother eating, ranked from not great for you to the absolute worst. (While you’re making healthier eating choices, be sure to check out the 21 Best Healthy Cooking Hacks of All Time!)

Per 1 serving (13 chips): 140 calories, 9 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (2 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

Any chips with a sea salt flavor will unsurprisingly be high in sodium, but these sea salt and vinegar chips are also high in fat. Kettle Brand often touts its non-GMO, natural chips, so be wary of the marketing before picking up a bag.

Per 1 serving (13 chips): 150 calories, 9 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 150 mg sodium, 17 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Lesson to learn here: Just because a product is organic, doesn’t mean it is good for you. Case in point—Kettle Brand’s organic country-style barbecue chips, which are still high in fat and sodium for one serving of chips. One serving is about 13 chips; this is especially easy to surpass while snacking away.

Per 1 serving (11 chips): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Oh, Ruffles. These classic chips might have made their way into your lunch box often when you were a kid, but the 10 grams of fat and 180 grams of sodium now mean your afternoon snack will leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable before the end of the day.

Per 1 serving (11 chips): 120 calories, 3. 5 g fat (0.5 g saturated fat), 250 mg sodium, 22 g carbs (1 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 2 g protein

So your favorite chip offers a baked version—that’ll do, right? Not so fast. Although baked chips are often sold as a healthier alternative to the traditionally fried potato chips, and they do have a significantly lower amount of fat, these baked Ruffles actually have far more sodium and carbs compared to the regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles.

Per 1 serving (15 chips): 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 1 g protein

Pringles is well-known for its outrageous flavors (Nashville hot chicken, anyone?), but even its classics are packed with sodium. Luckily, the brand does offer a low-sodium version if you want the iconic Pringles taste with less salt.

Per 1 serving (15 chips): 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 1 g protein

Like the salt and vinegar variety, Pringles’ cheddar cheese chips are high in fat, including saturated fat, and sodium. So these are a no-go as well.

Per 1 serving (15 chips): 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 160 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 1 g protein

Seeing a theme here with the Pringles? Unsurprisingly, the popular sour cream and onion variety aren’t a healthy snack option, either. While they do have slightly less sodium than the salt and vinegar and cheddar cheese, one thing to keep in mind with many flavored Pringles is the inclusion of monosodium glutamate (MSG). It’s a controversial food additive that is deemed safe by the FDA, but can cause adverse effects such as headaches and muscle tightness in some people.

Per 1 serving (15 chips): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 160 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Lay’s sour cream and onion chips might be another bad you used to enjoy finding in your lunchbox, but this flavor is simply high in both fat and salt.

Per 1 serving (15 chips): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1. 5 g saturated fat), 170 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Even the original Lay’s flavor is still high in fat and sodium. In just this one snack, you’d be consuming nearly a quarter of the recommended daily intake of fat!

Per 1 serving (15 chips): 150 calories, 19 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 150 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 2 g protein

If you thought the fat content in the original Lay’s was high, wait until you see the amount of fat in the barbecue flavor. One serving of these chips has nearly half the recommended amount of fat intake for one day.

Per 1 serving: 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 290 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Herr’s is popular for its light, airy, crispy potato chips, but the barbecue flavor has more sodium than many other options on this list. No thanks!

Per 1 serving (21 pieces): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 250 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Sure, Cheetos are delicious, but they also have a lot of sodium, more than many of the chips on this list. Even the baked version has 240 milligrams of sodium and the brand’s “Simply” line, which boasts no artificial flavors or colors, still has 210 milligrams of sodium. Unfortunately, any way you slice it, Cheetos just don’t have much of a better-for-you option to satisfy those cravings.

And to avoid eating foods that fill you up with bloat, here are 15 Best (and Instant) Anti-Bloating Foods to munch on instead!

Per 1 serving (21 pieces): 170 calories, 11 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 250 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 1 g protein

To no one’s surprise, the “Flamin’ Hot” flavor is just as sodium-filled as the original, with an added gram of fat. Scale back the serving size (by a whole lot!) if you really want to enjoy this popular flavor.

Walmart

Per 1 serving: 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 490 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

If you take nothing else from this article, heed this—the Herr’s salt and vinegar chips have a whopping 490 milligrams of sodium per serving, far higher than any other option on this list. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams per day, but they hope most adults will actually consume no more than 1,500 milligrams per day. So keeping this in mind, one serving of these chips is almost one-third of that. Yikes!

Category ‘A’

A+

Very healthy and numerous health benefits. Side effects are rare. Things rated an ‘A+’ are typically necessary for survival (for example, water).

A

Very healthy and numerous health benefits. A few harmful qualities may be associated, but only under certain circumstances such as an allergic reaction.

A-

Very healthy and numerous health benefits. Harmful qualities may be associated, but aren’t usually serious.

It is important to note that even the best things in life can become bad in immoderate amounts. So, although something may be rated an ‘A+’, overconsumption/overdoing can bring unwanted effects.

Category ‘B’

B+

Very beneficial to your health. Things rated a ‘B+’ may have a few harmful qualities to pay attention to.

B

Overall beneficial to your health. Things rated a ‘B’ may have some harmful qualities to pay attention to.

More beneficial to your health than not. However, harmful qualities are most likely associated and shouldn’t be overlooked.

The main difference between category ‘A’ and category ‘B’ is the harmful qualities typically present in ‘B’ items. Serious side effects are usually uncommon, but are still possible and should be taken note of.

Category ‘C’

C+

Both beneficial and harmful qualities associated. Things rated a ‘C+’ are typically a bit more on the beneficial side. Still, moderation is important.

C

A fairly even ratio of beneficial and harmful qualities. Moderation is important. Very general topics that can lean towards both sides of the spectrum will be placed here as well. Rice, for example, can be good or bad depending on the type.

C-

More harmful than beneficial. Side effects are common, especially when consumed/done excessively. Moderation is very important.

Category ‘C’ usually denotes to both good and bad qualities. When it comes to this category, it is important to keep this word in mind: moderation.

Category ‘D’

D+

Harmful to your health. Although benefits may be associated, the bad most likely outweighs the good. Moderation is very important.

D

Harmful to your health. A few benefits may be associated, but the bad outweighs the good. Moderation is extremely important.

D-

Harmful to your health. Very few, if any, benefits are present. Things in this category should be avoided as much as possible.

Category ‘D’ is typically for things that are more harmful than beneficial. While consuming/doing something unhealthy once in a blue moon shouldn’t hurt, we definitely recommend eliminating ‘D’ items as a regular part of your routine/diet.

Long answer

Pringles is a Kellogg Company product that was introduced to the American consumer by Procter and Gamble, labeled originally as Pringles Newfangled Potato Chip, in 1967. Some people may remember the catch phrase “once you pop, the fun don’t stop”. This eludes to the noise the lid makes when opening the container of Pringles chips. Though there are numerous versions of these popular chips, we will address the original variety in this nutritional assessment. Do take note that as the varieties get more diverse, so do the chemical additives.

The catchy Pringles slogan is true for a couple reasons. The first and more benign reason is the fact that Pringles are tasty and really hard to put down once you have started eating them. The other more malicious reason is rooted in the construct of the food. Kellogg employs brilliant food engineers for the specific task of designing food that is addictive. This sobering fact means that once you start eating them, it’s hard to stop eating.  Many people find that even when purchased on one occasion, perhaps due to a sale—they find that it becomes a regular purchase in subsequent grocery trips.

In the 21st century, most people are familiar with the use monosodium glutamate (MSG) in processed foods as a flavor enhancer. Together with MSG, the recipe for this tasty snack also contains disodium inosinate, calcium guanylate, and autolyzed yeast extract. The artificial flavor enhancers are now considered to be linked to a variety of health risks including fetal and child developmental concerns, hormonal imbalances, headaches, chest pains, heart palpitations, asthma attacks, and a plethora of additional negative effects.

Pringles are made up of only 42% potato content with the remainder being wheat starch and flour(s) combined with vegetable oils, salt, and seasoning. Depending on the flavor of Pringles, other ingredients include maltodextrin, dextrose, sodium caseinate, modified food starch, monoglyceride and diglyceride, malted barley flour, wheat bran and dried black beans.

For a single serving size which makes up approximately one ounce or fifteen “crisps”, the sodium content is 330 mg. With a daily recommended amount of 1,500 mg, these fifteen crisps take up a lot of room in your sodium allowance. Many of the additives including sodium and ingredients are known for causing inflammation in the body. Inflammation can be the source of numerous conditions such as diabetes, migraines, mental illness, celiac, asthma, nerve pain, body pain, arthritis and many more maladies. The number of symptoms and illness that lead to inflammation are extensive.

Furthermore, one of the most harmful ingredients in potato chips is not intentional, but rather is the consequence of the processing. Acrylamide is a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical that is created when carbohydrate-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures- regardless of the method of cooking. Essentially, once the processed chip hits temperatures of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, the chip then is at risk of releasing harmful contaminants.

As with all processed snack foods, Pringles are a snack that should be enjoyed very sparingly or not at all.

Eat chips and lose weight. Khabarovsk restaurateur dispelled myths about diets | HEALTH

“You can eat chips, sweets and pastries and still lose weight,” says Anton Tolmachev, a Khabarovsk restaurateur, owner of a network of eleven coffee shops, and blogger.

For himself, he independently developed a diet and a set of exercises that he has been following for several years. And judging by the fact that he is in great shape, this system works. Questions about how to achieve the same effective results come from subscribers of Anton’s Instagram account so often that in the end he began to conduct “Open lectures on proper nutrition” in it.

Go to sport through illness

Arina Proskurina, AiF-Dalinform: As far as I know, you have never had problems with being overweight. Why are you interested in proper nutrition?

Anton Tolmachev: I came to him through sports, and in turn, illness brought me to sports. One day my hand started to go numb. I underwent an examination, which revealed protrusions, because of this, the nerve endings were pinched, which led to the problem. I had to undergo rehabilitation, and the doctors advised me to go in for sports. I started visiting the gym, under the guidance of an instructor, I began to pump my back, but at the same time I didn’t follow my diet. When I saw that I had launched the figure, I began to work hard in the rocking chair again. But this is a big load for the body, it is hard for him to work at such a pace. So over time, I picked up a comfortable diet for myself, which I continue to adhere to. During the week I eat only the right foods, except for one random day on which I arrange a cheat meal, or I eat: I eat for pleasure what I don’t allow myself all week. It is believed that with this approach, much less harmful is eaten than if there is a little high-calorie food every day.

Eat and lose weight

– Can you lose weight on chips?

– You can use both chips and desserts. If we want to lose weight, then we need to count the number of calories that come with food per day. The intake should not exceed the energy expenditure, if it is lower, then the weight will decrease. Let’s say there are 500 calories in a bag of chips. If a person eats it and does not eat anything else that day, then he will definitely lose weight. The quality of the mass in this case will be an amateur, but that’s another question. If we have a goal to lose weight, then we will fulfill it. However, such nutrition cannot be called useful. It will be very difficult for the stomach to eat only chips, gastritis may appear.

– Which diet is healthy?

– Balanced, in which there are carbohydrates, and proteins, and meat, and vegetables.

– There are many diets focused on one product – “buckwheat”, “kefir” and so on. What can you say about them?

– This is marketing. With a mono-diet, a person cannot receive enough nutrients and trace elements. By the way, the body itself often signals about their shortage. Recently I had a very difficult week – a lot of work and hard training. I usually go to the gym, but now I also go to martial arts – and these are very intense loads. And I really began to want meat, I thought about it all the time. Most likely, the body lacked iron and vitamins. By the way, there are people who refuse meat – this cannot be done, this is a very useful product.

– But what about vegetarians?

– Some of them, having given up meat, find another source of these amino acids. But even in this case, it will not be possible to fully compensate for the benefits of meat.

– How about a fractional meal? Most diets call for eating 6 times a day, but there are opponents who say that chewing all day, on the contrary, is harmful.

– I think there are benefits from fractional nutrition. During the day, you gradually add energy to your body, and it processes it into small elements. If you throw in a lot of calories at once, the body will take everything it needs, and what it does not have time to process, it will put in the “storage” – fat deposits, which it will then someday use. But we live in a calm time, and usually the body does not use this storage, and fat deposits do not disappear anywhere, but only accumulate.

Water instead of food

– There are adherents of a complete rejection of food. What results does this lead to?

– It is believed that on the first day the body is in a terrible shock, and from the second, strong cells begin to feed on weak ones and thus rejuvenation occurs. Let me tell you how I tried this method in my experience. I didn’t eat anything at all, I just drank water. The first thing I felt – indeed, the body is updated. This feeling is hard to explain in words. On the second day, I realized that our hunger is most often psychological, because when I wanted to eat, it was not ordinary porridge, not simple food, I wanted something tasty – sweet, salty or fatty. It wasn’t until the evening of the third day that I really wanted regular food.

– Did you work during the hunger strike?

– Yes, I worked and tried to train intensively in a sports club. In fact, three days of hunger strike is not so much. After that, I had a desire to try fasting again. But three times I tried to start a hunger strike, but force majeure occurred at work, and I realized that this time I could not.

Barbecue after six

– Is it possible to lose weight quickly?

– If we have been eating junk food for a long time, it will take a long time to get in shape. Visually, the figure can be restored quickly, but as a result, there is a risk of undermining health. So the best way to lose weight is to eat a balanced diet for a long time. And sleep is also very important – you need to go to bed early and get up early. 10 pm to 12 am is the best time to sleep.

– Is it true that you can’t eat after six in the evening?

– The point is not exactly at this time – 18.00 – but in not going to bed on a full stomach. It is important that the food has time to be digested before going to bed, and the body can rest and recover, and not continue to digest food. So it is better not to eat heavy food – barbecue, meat – just after 6 pm, as it will be digested for at least five hours. And light food – fruits, vegetables, which are quickly digested – can be eaten at 10 pm.

Boxing and a narrow waist

– Is it possible to lose weight without proper nutrition if you play sports?

– Calories will be burned, but, doing the same martial arts, a person will begin to expend a large amount of energy and will eat a lot – weight loss will not work. So the issue of food restrictions can not be bypassed.

As far as sports are concerned, it is very important that a person losing weight has a competent coach who understands the goal and can choose the right exercises. For example, if a girl wants a narrow waist, martial arts and boxing will not suit her, because when punching in boxing, the press and oblique muscles of the press work, and they will grow, increasing the waist.

When I came to the gym, I showed a photo of the figure I wanted to come to – wide shoulders and a narrow waist. The trainer understood me and built a training plan for the type of figure that I wanted to achieve.

– Does it make sense to contact nutritionists?

– Nutritionist – a person who can make a nutrition plan for us. But we can just as well do it ourselves. Yes, you will have to look for foods that our body needs, count their calorie content, take medical tests to find out if everything is in order with the body, what microelements and vitamins it lacks, and understand what you need to eat to replenish them.

– Which diet do you think is the most effective?

– Absolutely anyone will help you lose weight if the calorie consumption is more than the intake. But the most important and difficult thing in losing weight is different. It happens that people went on a diet, achieved the desired result, and then returned to their previous lifestyle – and the extra pounds also returned.
