Pregnancy guidance
LimitStandard potato chips should be limited during pregnancy because they are high in sodium and fried fats. They provide quick carbohydrates and small amounts of potassium, but high oil content yields substantial calories without meaningful micronutrients. Frequent snacking on fried chips can displace nutrient-dense prenatal foods. Savor an occasional small handful alongside a fresh vegetable wrap.
