What is this food?
Toasted sweetened coconut chips (coconut chips with added sugar).
Why it matters to health
These chips are energy-dense, so a small serving can add a lot of calories. They also have high saturated fat (about 33.25 g per 100 g) and high sugar (about 49 g per 100 g), which can be a concern if eaten often or in big portions. On the positive side, they provide some dietary fiber (about 5.1 g per 100 g), which can help with fullness. They also have sodium (about 298 mg per 100 g), so it’s best to watch portions, especially if you snack daily.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack topper or small treat—start with a small portion (e.g., a handful) and pair it with something filling like fruit or plain yogurt.
- Balance your day: since you’ll have 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks, keep coconut chips as one snack and choose a lighter option for the other snack (like fresh fruit or unsweetened yogurt).
- Look for options with less added sugar when available, or choose unsweetened/less sweet versions.
- Try not to eat it straight from the bag—portion it first to avoid accidentally having more than you planned.
