Nutritionists Say These Are The 2 Best Chips To Eat For Weight Loss—And They’re Delicious!

1. Veggie chips

It's always important to eat your vegetables—so why not consume them in chip form? According to Nanavati, veggie chips make a great alternative to processed potato chips. They can even be a good way to fit some essential nutrients into your diet while appeasing your cravings for some crunch.

"Veggie chips are made from leafy or root vegetables like kale, spinach, carrots and zucchini, which give them added nutrients and vitamins," Nanavati says. "These chips are usually dried, baked or air-fried, making them a low-calorie snack option." Perfect!

While it's important not to rely on snacks like this for all of your vegetable intake, it is a good compromise for when you're craving something salty but don't want to put your waistline at risk.

2. Sweet potato chips

Sweet potatoes aren't only delicious; they're also a fantastic source of nutrients, and even great for weight loss. And when you bake or air-fry them to make some crunchy, tasty chips, it's hard to think of a better snack.

As Nanavati notes, "Sweet potato chips can be a nutritious alternative to regular potato chips, and they may help promote weight loss." She tells us "sweet potatoes are high in fiber and rich in carbs, which can help keep you full for longer and may reduce your overall calorie consumption." That's a win all around!

So, there you have it: chips can be healthy! Just be sure that, like any other snack, you consume these chips in moderation, as too much of these tasty snacks can still lead to excess calorie consumption and weight gain. But by swapping out your go-to, processed potato chips for healthier options like these (and keeping up with other healthy habits), you'll be one step closer to the body of your dreams.
