What is this food?
Cheese-flavored corn-potato chips (about 100g).
Why it matters to health
These chips are mainly carbohydrates and fats, with a relatively high sodium and saturated fat. The good part is they provide some dietary fiber (about 5.1g per 100g), which can help with fullness. But because the calories are high (540 kcal) and saturated fat is also high (17.5g), frequent eating can make it easier to exceed daily calorie needs and raise LDL cholesterol over time, especially if you also eat other salty, fatty snacks in the same day. The sodium (453mg) can add up quickly, so it’s best to keep it as an occasional snack.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions small: aim for about 1 small handful (not the whole pack). This helps you enjoy the taste without taking too many calories.
- Pair with a fiber-and-water snack: e.g., add fresh fruit or unsweetened yogurt instead of eating chips alone.
- Balance your day: if you have chips as a snack, make sure your next meal has lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and extra vegetables.
- Choose better options when available: look for lower-sodium or baked versions, or switch to plain chips and add your own flavor (like herbs or a squeeze of calamansi).
- For a typical day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), treat chips as the snack, not a frequent “extra” between meals.
