2 Types Of Chips You Can Eat Daily To Lose Weight, According To Nutritionists

1. Veggie chips

It's no secret that vegetables are a crucial part of a healthy diet. And while you definitely shouldn't consume most of them in the form of chips, veggie chips are certainly healthier than salty, empty-calorie potato chips. That's why Nanavati recommends swapping your go-to bag for this alternative.

"Veggie chips are made from leafy or root vegetables like kale, spinach, carrots and zucchini, which give them added nutrients and vitamins," she says. "These chips are usually dried, baked or air-fried, making them a low-calorie snack option." You can even make your own at home. Yum!

2. Sweet potato chips

Sweet potatoes are one of our all-time favorite veggies. They're loaded with health benefits, and according to Nanavati, they make a healthier chip than regular old potatoes.

"Sweet potato chips can be a nutritious alternative to regular potato chips, and they may help promote weight loss," Nanavati says, noting that this fall vegetable is "high in fiber and rich in carbs, which can help keep you full for longer and may reduce your overall calorie consumption."

Like veggie chips, you can make your own sweet potato chips at home, which will make for a healthier option than store-bought varieties.

Ultimately, of course, the best way to get your veggies (potatoes or otherwise) is in their original, whole form, rather than processed and sold in bag. Which is to say that even these healthy chips shouldn't be eaten in excess—everything in moderation! However, when combined with other healthy habits, swapping fattening, ultra-processed snacks for these alternatives is one way to achieve an overall healthy body.
