What’s Healthier: Popcorn or Chips?

Want to satisfy your salt cravings? Here’s why you should trade chips for popcorn.

Stay Fuller for Longer

Popcorn is full of fiber. Fiber-rich foods are filling, meaning that you can be full from eating a small amount. This amazing nutrient also lowers risks for high cholesterol and digestive issues. Studies have also proven that eating lots of fiber decreases the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases.

Less Fat

A bag of potato chips might be small, but they pack a punch. The average serving of chips has 10.2 grams of fat. Air-popped popcorn, meanwhile, only has 7.9. Popcorn also has fewer calories. So if you want to ward off the temptations of the vending machine, bring a bag of popcorn.

Lowers Risk of Disease

Popcorn has been a go-to snack of dieters for a reason. The fiber in popcorn means that lowers the risk for:

  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular Disease

Popcorn is also an antioxidant thanks to the phenolic acids it contains.

Nutrients in Popcorn

Think that fiber is the only trick popcorn can play? Think again! Popcorn also contains:

  • Vitamins A, E and K
  • Folate
  • Pantothenic acid
  • Riboflavin
  • Thiamin

Chips meanwhile? Their vitamins are hidden under ingredients that are damaging to your health.
