How unhealthy is a Frito pie, really?

[KylieChan]

Been hearing a lot about Frito pies and started wondering just how unhealthy they might be. Can anyone break down the nutritional aspects for me? I'm hoping it’s something I can indulge in occasionally without too much worry!

Frito pies can be a bit indulgent! They typically contain high amounts of calories, fat, and sodium due to the Fritos, cheese, and chili. Depending on portion size, a serving might have around 500-700 calories. That said, you can tweak it by using healthier ingredients like baked chips, leaner meats, or adding more veggies to make it a little lighter for an occasional treat!
