Potato chips
Having a handful of this summer cookout staple isn’t terrible. It’s polishing off the whole family-sized bag (easy to do!) that can get you into trouble, says Goodson. All that grease will likely give you a bellyache, and the sodium will leave you bloated for sure. (You’ll get 170 milligrams from a big handful of chips—but who eats just one?) “Try bringing snack-sized bags to the pool, or baggie up a big bag into individual portions,” she recommends. If a bowl of chips is out a party, make things easy for yourself and don’t start munching if you don’t think you’ll be able to stop.
