Potato chips are fattening.

Potatoes chips contain a lot of fat and they are also high in calories and they also can become addictive as well.

The more potato chips you eat the more weight you could gain and you could also get heart disease, high blood pressure and much more due to the high sodium content in the potato chips.

Plain salted potato chips are “a low-nutrient, high-calorie food.

A typical 1.5-ounce bag will run you 223 calories, plus 14 grams of fat and 221 mg of sodium.

Potato Chips are very high in calories, and it's easy to eat way too many of them.

In observational studies, consuming French fries and potato chips has been linked to weight gain.

One study even found that potato chips may contribute to more weight gain per serving than any other food.

Homemade baked potato chips are healthier as you can get rid of the salt and fat content in them unlike the store bought potato chips that contain lots of fat, salt and other non healthy ingredients.

It has been found out that one serving of french fries contains one-third of the recommended daily intake of salt.

Such a consumption of salt through fried chips negatively affects all your weight loss efforts.

While being high in carbohydrates, salts, and fats, fried chips barely have any nutrient value.
