By Annie HauserMedically Reviewed by Lynn Grieger, RDN, CDCESReviewed: October 15, 2019Medically Reviewed Not all healthy chips are created equal This guide will help you choose the best potato chip alternatives to snack on and steer you away from the ones you should skip iStockWhen you’re trying to lose weight, it seems like every bag of chips starts calling your name, making every vending machine or trip to the grocery store a recipe for a diet disaster. If you’re craving something crunchy but don’t want the fat and calories of traditional potato chips (after all, potato chip consumption has been linked to weight gain), it can be difficult to know which snacks are actually better for you and which ones you should skip. We rounded up some of the top snack brands that claim to be healthier than regular potato chips, and with help from former Everyday Health nutritionist Maureen Namkoong, RD, ranked them from best to worst.

Read on to find out which surprising brand is your best choice, and which supposedly healthy chips you’re better off without. Baked Lay s The Best Choice for Low Calories Everyday HealthServing size 1 ounce (oz), or about 17 crisps Calories 120 Total fat 3.5 grams (g) (0 saturated) Sodium 160 milligrams (mg) “You’ll save 40 calories and 6.5 g of fat per serving by choosing Baked Lay's over regular Lay’s Classic Potato Chips,” Namkoong says. “The low calories and fat make this the healthiest choice when you can’t resist chips.” SunChips Original Runner-Up for Whole Grains Everyday HealthServing size 1 oz, or about 16 chips Calories 140 Total fat 6 g (0.5 saturated) Sodium 110 mg SunChips are made with whole grains instead of potatoes, which makes them higher in fiber than traditional potato chips at 2 g per serving (about 8 percent of your daily value for fiber).

While this isn’t a huge amount of fiber, every little bit helps, since fiber adds bulk to your diet and makes you feel full faster, helping you control your weight and digest your food. Keep in mind that SunChips still have more fat and calories and fewer vitamins and minerals than an ideal snack, but a handful of these could help you squelch your craving for chips without going totally overboard.

“You can get 10 percent of your daily fiber intake from this chip because they’re made from black beans,” Namkoong says. “And at the same time, the sodium is pretty low for a processed snack. If you want to increase your fiber intake, you might want to switch [from regular potato chips] to small portions of this chip.” Sea Salt PopChips The Most Chips for the Calories Everyday HealthServing size 1 oz, or about 23 chips Calories 130 Total fat 4.5 g (0 saturated) Sodium 170 mg You get more bang for your buck calorie-wise with PopChips because you can eat more of them for the same amount of calories, but sticking to one portion is key.

It’s tempting to treat the bag as a single serving; in reality, there are five servings per (5 oz) bag (Sea Salt PopChips also come in .8-ounce and 3.5-ounce bags). Simply 7 Hummus Sea Salt Chips Skip the Sodium Everyday HealthServing size 1 oz Calories 130 Total fat 5 g (0.5 saturated) Sodium 300 mg “Don’t be fooled by the name — these chips, which are made from chickpeas, aren’t as healthy as eating whole chickpeas or hummus,” Namkoong warns. They’re also pretty high in sodium (especially if you don’t stick to one serving), and wouldn’t be a great choice for anyone watching how much salt they eat.

Terra Real Vegetable Chips Original Too Much Fat Everyday HealthServing size 1 oz Calories 150 Total Fat 9 g (1 saturated) Sodium 110 mg These chips are made from fried root vegetables (other than white potatoes), and while that seems like it would be a good choice, the truth is that it doesn’t make that big of a difference nutritionally. They are still high in calories, fat, and saturated fat.

There are 3 g of fiber per serving (12 percent of your daily value), which is nice, but not enough to categorize these as a healthy snack. Pringles Reduced Fat Original Skip the Saturated Fat Everyday HealthServing size 1 oz, or about 16 crisps Calories 140 Total fat 7 g (2 saturated) Sodium 130 mg “Don’t be misled by the label,” Namkoong cautions.

“Pringles Reduced Fat Original has only 10 calories and 2 grams of fat less than the original version.” You’re not saving enough by choosing the healthier version here. Plus, these reduced-fat chips still contain 2 g of unhealthy saturated fat per serving, making them not a great choice in their own right.
