Scoop up your favorite chips, along with fantastic dip, and you are well on your way to celebrating National Chip & Dip Day. Just be sure to stay away from these deceptively unhealthy chip & dip dishes!

It’s recommended that you limit your daily consumption of saturated fats to 20 grams. These are, after all, the worst kinds of fats you can put in your body. If you treat yourself to the Factory Nachos with Spicy Chicken from The Cheesecake Factory, you’re also punishing your body with 62 grams of saturated fat.

Moe’s Southwest Grill offers what’s called a Billy Barou, and it appears extremely appetizing. A bed of chips, loaded with chicken, queso, guacamole, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, black beans, sour cream, jalapenos and black olives. You knew the catch was coming… 1,509 calories, 31 grams of saturated fat, 3,656 milligrams of sodium and 145 carbohydrates.

Fruits = healthy, so guacamole has to be healthy, right? It’s made from avocados, and they’re a fruit. Not so fast; the Fresh Guacamole Dip at Ruby Tuesday contains 1,432 calories, 1,716 milligrams of salt and most egregiously, 128 carbohydrates in the dip. Think about the added calories from the chips you’ll be dipping with, and you’ve got yourself a seriously unhealthy snack.

The Dietary Guidelines recommends that Americans consume less than 2,300 milligrams of salt per day, but if you order the Chili Cheese Nachos at Applebee’s, the dish will arrive containing a whopping 4,280 milligrams of sodium. WOW!

Chevys plate of Nachos Grande looks delicious, but is it worth all 1,890 calories and 2,280 milligrams of salt?
