Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Home-prepared oven-heated french fries are safe to eat, but should be consumed in moderation during pregnancy. While baking at home uses less oil than deep-frying, fries remain calorie-dense and easy to overconsume. USDA guidelines encourage prioritizing whole baked or boiled potatoes to maximize nutritional benefits and minimize added fats. Bake potato wedges with a light coating of olive oil and paprika, pairing them with grilled chicken and vegetables.
