Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Banana chips should be limited during pregnancy because they are commonly fried in oil and sweetened. They supply small amounts of potassium and fiber, but frying and added sweeteners make them much higher in saturated fat and calories than fresh bananas. Keep portions modest to avoid excess maternal weight gain. Choose fresh bananas instead for natural potassium and vitamin B6 without added fats.
