What is this food?
Chips or squid crackers—crispy, savory snack crackers made from squid (or squid flavor) and usually coated/baked or fried with starch and seasonings.
Why it matters to health
For a 100g serving, it’s quite energy-dense (434 kcal) and higher in fat (12.4g) and sodium (748mg). It also provides carbohydrates (73.1g) but low fiber (0.9g), so it may not keep you full for long. On the positive side, it can fit into your day as a crunchy snack, but because sodium and calories add up fast, it’s best to enjoy it in smaller portions—especially if you already have salty viands or instant noodles in your meals.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack topper, not a main—try a small handful (about 20–30g) instead of eating the whole pack.
- Pair with something filling: fresh fruit, plain yogurt, or unsweetened milk to balance the meal/snack.
- Drink water and avoid pairing with other salty snacks to help manage your sodium intake.
- If you crave crunch, consider alternating with roasted nuts, popcorn (less salt), or whole-grain crackers more often.
- Keep it to 1 snack (or split it between 2 snacks) so your 3 full meals stay balanced.
