I get these random cravings for banana chips, the fried kerala wala ones. Im 5 months now and trying to eat better. Is it okay to have them sometimes or too much oil is a problem? Just checking na.
It's completely safe in small amounts, but please make sure they are fresh and not made in stale oil. After my miscarriage, I became so paranoid about outside oil and salt levels, so I preferred making simple baked banana chips at home.
I literally lived on banana chips during my evening tea time in my third trimester, and my baby is doing perfectly fine. Just make sure you drink plenty of water afterward because they can make you quite thirsty.
I tracked my calorie intake on my pregnancy app and noticed banana chips can be quite calorie-dense. They are perfectly safe to eat, but logging them helped me make sure I wasn't overdoing the oily snacks.
Oh, banana chips are so addictive, if you open a packet you'll finish it in five minutes! They are safe to eat, just try not to make them your entire dinner, haha.
Banana chips are deep-fried and high in carbs, so if you are monitoring your blood sugar levels like I had to for gestational diabetes, please limit them. A couple of chips are fine, but don't eat a whole bowl.
Beta, banana chips are safe but they are fried and can cause gas or acidity if eaten in excess. If you feel bloated, drink a little warm cumin (jeera) water afterward. Enjoy them in small limits!
Yes, banana chips are fine to eat, but just keep an eye on the salt and oil content. Eating too much salty food can cause water retention and swelling in your feet. Keep it to a small handful as a snack!
Personally, I absolutely loved banana chips during my second trimester and had them almost every week. They didn't cause me any acidity or issues, but everyone's stomach reacts differently.
In our house, my mother-in-law always says banana chips are good for energy, but my doctor advised me to watch my salt intake to avoid blood pressure spikes. Having a small handful of fresh, home-made chips is completely fine and delicious.
Honestly, don't stress too much about small snacks like banana chips! They are totally safe and delicious to munch on. Just eat a small portion with your evening tea and enjoy your pregnancy cravings!
I actually love Kerala banana chips and have been craving them so much lately! Are you buying the store-packaged ones or getting them fresh from a local hot chips shop?
Since I had a history of PCOS, I had to watch my weight and insulin levels closely during pregnancy. Banana chips are high in calories, so I only had a few pieces occasionally to satisfy my craving. Try to stick to healthier snacks if you can.
