Chips, Fries, Käseflips,Tortilla-Chips- Whatever you choose to grab at snack time, each has its pros and cons. The obvious benefit is that they're delicious, period. However, you are onesalty snack, meaning grab some of those potato chips you lovea lotSalt in every little crunchy bite.
"Only fromPotato, salt and oil, french fries are often an "empty calorie" food, the nutritionist saysLauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LD, who also noted that fries overall don't "offer much in the nutrition department." A french fry is, for the most part, simply potatoes, salt and oil, and while a short list of ingredients is usually what someone on a healthy diet wants, that doesn't mean it has to be the casehealthy.
That being said, as with almost any food, moderation is key. Eating french fries as a snack when you really want them can make them even more enjoyable and satisfy your hunger afterwards.
Although our ranking of chips stands out from worst to bestthe biggest brandsand as more options become available, Manaker advises people to think beyond the potato.
“Choosing a chip that has some protein or fiber (or both!) in it will add some extra stamina to your snack. This may mean choosing a chip made from something other than your classic potato or corn,” she says. She also cautions against some labels, such as "natural," and suggests grocery shoppers read each label to independently assess whether or not it's the right snack for you.
We've done some of the legwork for you by deciding which fries are healthier than others. We mainly look at sodium levels as this is a concern for many people. Remember thatThe American Heart Association suggestsAdults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. With that in mind, take a look at the listings of the most popular brands, ranked from worst to best. If you're making healthier choices the next time you visit the grocery store, be sure to stop by

The worst of the bunch, Herr's Salt & Vinegar potato chips are packed with sodium. While they're not loaded with calories or fat, they're also higher in saturated fat than most other chips. If you want a salt and vinegar chip, other brands have slightly healthier options.

1.5 ounces: 220 calories, 13g fat (3.5g saturated), 410mg sodium, 25g carbohydrate (2g fiber, 2g sugars), 3g protein
We love that these chips contain a little more protein than most of the chips on this list, but they're also way higher in calories, sodium, saturated fat, and carbs, making protein a bit debatable.

Herr's Salt & Pepper Chips are, you guessed it, very salty. We expect a little more salt in a salt flavored chip, but these are exceptionally high.

Herr's Kettle Boiled Salt and Pepper
13 Chips (28g): 140 calories, 8g fat (2g saturated), 420mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein
A salt and pepper chip is no better than a salt and vinegar chip. However, this is a salt bomb. Although these contain no more calories, fat or carbohydrates than others, they are so high in sodium that they will ruin the rest of your day of healthy eating.

Patatas Fritas Herr's Fire Ridge
1 ounce: 150 calories, 9g fat (2g saturated), 400mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 0g sugars), 2g protein

Herrs Ragin Ranch
1 ounce: 150 calories, 9g fat (2.5g saturated), 380mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein

Herr's Kettle Boiled Salt and Vinegar
13 Chips (28g): 140 calories, 8g fat (2g saturated), 360mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein
In just 13 chips, you get 360 milligrams of sodium, which is quite a lot. And while 13 fries may be a serving size and satisfying for some people, if you want to eat more fries, you're approaching dangerously high sodium levels.

Red Hot from Mr
1 ounce: 150 calories, 9g fat (2.5g saturated), 340mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein

Flaming Cheetos Puffs
13 pieces (28g): 160 calories, 10g fat (1.5g saturated fat), 310mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (<1g fiber, 0g sugars), 1g protein
In general, Cheetos are not a good option when it comes to choosing a healthy chip. They are high in sodium, fat, saturated fat and calories. We can forgive a large number, but if they all go up it becomes a snack that we don't recommend. These are the worst options for Cheetos.

152
Fried Chile Cheese
1 ounce: 180 calories, 11g fat (1.5g saturated), 310mg sodium, 18g carbohydrate (1g fiber, <1g sugars), 2g protein
If you're a fan of chili cheese fritos, we've got bad news: They're kind of awful. A 1-ounce serving contains over 300 milligrams of sodium, which is a lot for a snack. Also, they're high in fat and carbohydrates, so they're not a good option.
151
Herr's Cheddar and Sour Cream
1 ounce: 150 calories, 9g fat (2.5g saturated), 300mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein
Herr's loves the saltiness, so these sour cream cheddar chips really pack a punch. They're slightly lower in carbs but have the standard 2.5 grams of saturated fat found in almost all of their chips.

Pringles-Buffalo-Ranch
15 Chips (28g): 150 calories, 9g fat (2.5g saturated), 280mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (<1g fiber, <1g sugars), 1g protein
Why does ranch taste so salty? Maybe that's why it's so delicious. Buffalo sauce is also notoriously salty, so it makes sense that these Pringles are high in sodium in addition to saturated fat.

Herrs Ketchup
1 ounce: 150 calories, 9g fat (2g saturated), 280mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 2g sugars), 2g protein
While a ketchup chip is a fun novelty, these are packed with sodium and saturated fat. It's better to take a tortilla chip with some diced tomatoes.

Like many other baked chips, these are high in carbohydrates but also high in sodium. If you're looking for something low in calories, these will do, but watch out for salt and carbs.
147
Crispy Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos
21 pieces (28g): 160 calories, 10g fat (1.5g saturated), 290mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (<1g fiber, <1g sugars), 2g protein
The second worst option for Cheetos is the Crunchy Cheddar Jalapeño. They have enough salt, as well as fat. Unfortunately, they are also low in fiber.
146
Funyun's Flamin' Hot
13 pieces (28g): 140 calories, 6g fat (1g saturated), 290mg sodium, 19g carbohydrate (<1g fiber, <1g sugars), 2g protein
I'm sorry to say that the Funyuns aren't great. While they are lower in fat and calories than many other French fries, they are still high in sodium and carbohydrates. So it's not the best option, but it's not the worst either. (But closer to worst than best).
145
Herr's Kettle Cooked Cheddar Horseradish
13 Chips (28g): 140 calories, 8g fat (2g saturated), 290mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein

38 pieces (28g): 160 calories, 10g fat (1.5g saturated), 260mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (<1g fiber, <1g sugars), 2g protein

Parmesan cheese is deliciously salty, that's what makes it so good, but that also means it makes for a salty chip. You'll get a lot of flavor out of these Pringles, but also quite a bit of sodium.

13 Chips (28g): 150 calories, 9g fat (2.5g saturated), 250mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein
The iconic Stubb flavor of these fries is so good it's hard to resist. But the sodium and saturated fat are a bit off-putting.

Herr's Original Baked Fries are a bit of a mystery. They're low in calories, fat, and saturated fat, but they're high in carbs (much like other baked potato chips) and still have a decent amount of sodium. The sodium content, while low compared to other Herr's chips, is not as low as other brands.

(28g): 150 calories, 8g fat (1g saturated), 170mg sodium, 17g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein

As one of the low-calorie Doritos options, the Tapatio flavor is pretty good overall (as far as the Doritos family goes). It's on the low end for sodium, just like carbs. While it's not the best chip to choose from, it's one of the best Doritos out there.
87

17 Chips (28g): 120 calories, 3.5g fat (0g saturated fat), 160mg sodium, 22g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 1g sugars), 2g protein

82
Doritos Simply Organic White Cheddar
12 Chips (28g): 150 calories, 8g fat (1g saturated), 170mg sodium, 17g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 0g sugars), 2g protein

Lay's lightly salted barbecue
15 Chips (28g): 150 calories, 9g fat (1.5g saturated), 75mg sodium, 16g carbohydrate (1g fiber, 2g sugars), 2g protein
What's interesting about these chips is that they're lower in sodium but slightly higher in sugar because they have a grilled flavor. It makes them a little harder to rank for as it depends on which metric is most important to you. We think the low sodium content is more important because although the sugar content is higher, it's still relatively low.

Kettle brand without salt
13 Chips (28g): 150 calories, 9g fat (1g saturated), 0mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (2g fiber, 0g sugars), 2g protein
Here's the thing about those salt-free chips: From a health standpoint, they're probably the best option. There is absolutely no salt, they only have two ingredients (potatoes and oil) and there is no sugar. The amount of carbohydrates is standard for what you would find in a potato chip and they contain 2 grams of fiber and protein. If you like the taste of a chip without the salt, this should be your top choice.
