Potato chips, snack crisps, cheese puffs, tortilla chips—whatever you want to reach for come snack time—all have their pros and cons. The obvious pro is that they’re delicious, full stop. However, they are a salty snack, which means some of those chips you love pack a lot of salt into each little crunchy bite.

“Simply made of potatoes, salt, and oil, chips are typically an ’empty calorie’ food,” says dietitian Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LD, who also pointed out that in general, chips don’t “offer much in the nutrition department.” For the most part, a potato chip is simply potatoes, salt, and oil, and while a small ingredient list is often what someone eating healthy would like, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily healthy.

That being said, like with just about any food, moderation is key. In fact, snacking on chips as a treat when you really want them can make them even more enjoyable and will satiate your hunger for them.

Though our ranking of chips from worst to best highlights the biggest brands and most readily available options, Manaker advises people to think outside the potato.

“Choosing a chip that contains some protein or fiber (or both!) will give your snack some extra staying power. This may mean choosing a chip that is made from something other than the classic potato or corn,” she says. She also cautions against some labels, like “natural,” and suggests grocery shoppers read each label to make an independent evaluation on whether or not it’s the right snack for you.

We did a little bit of the work for you in deciding which chips are healthier than others. We mostly considered the sodium content, as it’s such a concern for so many people. Keep in mind that The American Heart Association suggests adults not consume more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium each day. With that said, check out chips from the most popular brands, ranked from worst to best!

The worst of the bunch, Herr’s Salt & Vinegar chips are absolutely packed with sodium. Though they aren’t loaded with calories or fat, they are higher in saturated fat than most of the other chips too. If you want a salt and vinegar chip, other brands have slightly healthier options.

We love that these chips have a little bit more protein than most of the chips on this list, however, they also have a lot more calories, sodium, saturated fat, and carbs, which makes the protein a bit of a moot point.

13 chips (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 450 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

Considering Old Bay seasoning has salt in it, it’s no surprise that an Old Bay-flavored chip would be high in sodium. These are really high, though, so eat these with caution and definitely in moderation.

Herr’s Salt & Pepper chips are—you guessed it—very salty. We expect some extra salt on a salt-flavored chip, but these are exceptionally high.

13 chips (28g): 140 calories, 8 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 420 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

A salt and pepper chip is no better than a salt and vinegar chip. This one, however, is a salt bomb. Though these aren’t any higher than others in calories, fat, or carbs, they’re so high in sodium that it’ll throw a wrench into the rest of your healthy-eating day.

1 oz: 150 calories, 9 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 400 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

Another salt bomb from Herr’s! Sure, the fat is lower and there’s no sugar, but there’s so much salt in these. There are healthier options for a spicy potato chip on this list.

13 chips (28g): 140 calories, 8 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 360 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

In just 13 chips, you’re getting 360 milligrams of sodium, which is quite a bit. And though 13 chips might be a serving size and might satisfy some people, if you want to eat more chips than that, you’re creeping up into dangerously high sodium numbers.

1 oz: 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 340 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Ouch, these chips have a lot of sodium in them. Though the other metrics aren’t too elevated—which is surprising—the sodium level is high enough for these to be a problem.

Not only do these chips have quite a bit of sodium, but they’re also packed with carbs. With one of the highest carb counts on this list, these delicious chips might be best left on the grocery store shelves.

Overall, Cheetos are not a great option when it comes to picking a healthy chip. They have quite a bit of sodium, as well as fat, saturated fat, and calories. We can forgive one elevated number, but when they all creep up, it starts to become a snack we don’t recommend. These are Cheetos’ worst option.

There are better spicy options on this list, in terms of salt and carbs. These also have a bit more saturated fat than some others, so we don’t necessarily recommend making this your go-to.

If you’re a fan of Fritos Chili Cheese, we have bad news—they’re kind of terrible. A 1-ounce serving has more than 300 milligrams of sodium, which is really high for a snack. Plus, they have a lot of fat and carbs, making them all-around not a great option.

1 oz: 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 300 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Herr’s loves the salt content, so these cheddar and sour cream chips really pack it in. They’re slightly lower in carbs, but the standard 2.5 grams of saturated fat that is in pretty much all their chips.

15 crisps (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 280 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (<1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 1 g protein

Why must ranch flavor be so salty? Perhaps that’s why it’s so delicious. Buffalo sauce is also notoriously salty, so it makes sense for these Pringles to have a lot of sodium in them, plus saturated fat.

While a ketchup chip is a fun novelty, these are full of sodium and saturated fat. You’re better off opting for a tortilla chip with some chopped up tomatoes.

Like so many other baked chips, these are high in carbs, but they’re also high in sodium. If you’re looking for something low in calories, these will suffice, but just take caution with the salt and carbs.

13 pieces (28g): 140 calories, 6 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 290 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (<1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Sorry to say Funyuns aren’t great. While they are lower in fat and calories than many other chips, they’re still high in sodium and carbs. So not the best option but not the worst. (But closer to worst than best.)

Unfortunately, Herr’s BBQ Potato Chips are one of the worst options when it comes to that barbecue flavor. There isn’t a ton of added sugar, but there’s plenty of salt.

13 pieces (28g): 140 calories, 6 g fat (1g saturated fat), 280 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (<1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

The plain Funyuns are a bit better than the flavored ones, with just a touch less sodium, but still not a great pick.

12 chips (28g): 140 calories, 7 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 270 mg sodium, 18 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

The worst Dorito flavor you can pick in terms of sodium is the Spicy Sweet Chili. They sure are delicious, but they pack a wallop of sodium and carbs.

If you’re looking for a spicy chip, there are options on this list with far less sodium. While the calories, fat, and saturated fat are low, that sodium number is not really what you want to see in a snack.

These may be called a reduced fat chip, but they’re really not any better than any other “healthy” chips on this list. They’re higher in calories and carbs—by a long shot—and still have saturated fat. One pro on these is that they have 3 grams of protein per serving.

1 oz: 120 calories, 2 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 22 g carbs (1 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 2 g protein

Herr’s Baked Original chips are a bit of a conundrum.

While the sodium level is low compared to other Herr’s chips, it’s not as low as some other brands.

28 chips (28g): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 210 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

15 chips (28g): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

The good thing about these chips is that they’re made with real limes, which we love. However, they’re high in sodium, which almost cancels out the positive point.

17 chips (28g): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 210 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

The eccentricity of these chips is definitely a plus. Who doesn’t want to combine the flavors of a dill pickle with potatoes? These do have an elevated salt content but in moderation aren’t terrible.

1 oz: 160 calories, 9 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

It’s always a good day when you can have a sweeter chip without too much extra sugar, which is just what you’ll get with these Fritos.

15 chips (28g): 150 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

The only thing better than a dill pickle chip is a hot dill pickle chip. These are a better sodium option than Lay’s regular dill pickle chips—win!

14 chips (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

9 chips (28g): 140 calories, 7 g fat (0.5 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Though some spicy options aren’t too bad, the addition of ranch flavor here bumps the sodium level up. You’ll get a lot of flavor, but also a lot of salt.

12 chips (28g): 150 calories, 8 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 210 mg sodium, 18 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Your favorite classic Doritos have a lot of salt, sorry to say. They also have quite a bit of carbs, though they’re pretty average compared to other Doritos.

12 chips (28g): 140 calories, 7 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 210 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

This Dorito variety also isn’t great either. It’s pretty high in sodium and higher in carbs than most of the other Doritos options. The Tapatio flavor will be somewhat similar but with less carbs and sodium.

15 crisps (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 210 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (<1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 1 g protein

27 chips (28g): 130 calories, 6 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 18 g carbs (2 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

When choosing a 3D Dorito—which we support—the Spicy Ranch has less sodium than the nacho flavor by a little bit. It’s also slightly less fat!

Though these Doritos are lower in calories, they’re a little higher in sodium than other flavors, so it depends on which is more important to you. The sodium level isn’t as high as many of these other chips, so we don’t consider it a bad choice.

1 oz: 110 calories, 2.5 g fat (0.5 g saturated fat), 260 mg sodium, 21 g carbs (1 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 2 g protein

There are plenty of cheesy chips and snacks on this list that have less sodium than these. However, because these are baked, they’re lower in calories and fat. With the high salt and carb content, though, it almost seems a shame to have the calories and fat be so low. If you’re counting carbs or watching sodium, these aren’t the best pick.

1 oz: 160 calories, 9 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 190 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

For a kettle-cooked potato chip, these are on par with most brands. The elevated sodium content is thanks to how much salt is sticking to those delicious crunchy potatoes!

12 chips (28g): 150 calories, 8 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 190 mg sodium, 18 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

These spicy Doritos are one of the higher-carb varieties, though the sodium and fat are on par with the rest of the choices.

You’ve got to love a Cool Ranch Dorito, but then you also have to deal with carbs. Cool Ranch is one of the two iconic Doritos flavors, and between this and Nacho Cheese, this is a better choice.

12 chips (28g): 150 calories, 1 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 190 mg sodium, 17 g carbs (1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

On par with much of the Doritos lineup, the super spicy flavor is slightly high in sodium and carbs, but in the grand scheme of this list, it’s one of the better choices.

12 chips (28g): 140 calories, 8 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 190 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

The Flamin’ Hot chips might have a higher level of salt in them, but if you consider the extra water you might want to drink while eating them, it balances out a little bit. OK, so not totally, but you will probably need more water with these fiery chips.

12 chips (28g): 150 calories, 8 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 190 mg sodium, 17 g carbs (1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

An organic option is Doritos’ spicy white cheddar flavor. It has a list of organic ingredients, though, it’s more loaded with salt than Doritos”other organic chips, making this a slightly worse choice.

14 chips (28g): 150 calories, 11 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 170 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

As one of Doritos’ lower-calorie options, the Tapatio flavor is actually quite good all around (as far as the Doritos family goes). It’s on the lower end of the sodium, as well as carbs. While not the best chip you can choose from, it is one of the best Doritos.

17 chips (28g): 120 calories, 3.5 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 160 mg sodium, 22 g carbs (1 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 2 g protein

Here’s the thing with Baked Lay’s. While they are lower in fat and calories, they’re still pretty high in sodium and exceptionally high in carbs (compared to other options). Depending on what metric you’re sticking to more heavily—carbs or calories—these may not be the best pick.

32 chips (28g): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 170 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

Fritos are low in sugar, which is great and expected from a corn chip. The sodium level isn’t awful compared to the rest of this list, plus each serving has 2 grams of protein. Considering a serving is 32 chips, we actually think this is a pretty decent option.

12 chips (28g): 150 calories, 8 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 170 mg sodium, 17 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

34 chips (28g): 160 calories, 10 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 80 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

Despite these Fritos being lower in sodium, they still have just as many calories and carbs as most of the other chips on this list. If you’re looking for a lower-sodium option, these are a good choice.

28g: 140 calories, 6 g fat (0.5 g saturated fat), 80 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

These are a great simple, clean chip. Made from nothing but organic blue corn, oil, and salt, these corn chips are a great pick, especially for salsa (another healthy pick!). They’re low in calories, fat, saturated fat, and sodium, though they do have a bit of carbs.

15 chips (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 75 mg sodium, 16 g carbs (1 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 2 g protein

The interesting part about these chips is that they’re lower in sodium but a little higher in sugar because they’re barbecue flavored. It makes them a little trickier to classify, because it depends on which metric is more important to you. We think the lower sodium is more important, because while the sugar is higher, it’s still relatively low.

13 chips (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 0 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (2 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

Here’s the thing about these unsalted chips—health-wise, they’re probably the best option. There’s absolutely no salt, they only have two ingredients (potatoes and oil), and there’s no sugar. The amount of carbs is standard for what you’ll find in a potato chip, and they have 2 grams each of fiber and protein. If you like the taste of an unsalted chip, this should be your first pick.

16 chips (28g): 150 calories, 9 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 90 mg sodium, 17 g carbs (1 g fiber, <1 g sugar), 2 g protein

These are about the cleanest chips you’ll see. They’re made from just potatoes, oil, and salt, and while they might hold a little more oil than a standard chip, they are much lower in salt while still maintaining the calories and fat.

1 oz: 140 calories, 7 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 55 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (1 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 2 g protein

This one is a winner. Made with just three ingredients, the lightly salted Tostitos corn chip has an incredibly low sodium content, along with not much fat or saturated fat. While there are some carbs and calories (of course, because of the oil and corn), it’s still a better choice than everything else on this list.
