Here are some more fun facts about the food you consume!

Many foods seem like they are healthy and good for you, but actually they are loaded with fat and calories. Some foods are very obvious, however, some can sneak past you. Here are the biggest surprises:

Soups:
Soup is usually thought of as a side and not necessarily rich in calories. If you have a light salad and a hearty soup with crackers, the disappointing news is that certain soups can be full of calories; some examples are New England clam chowder and cream of broccoli. Cream or milk-based soups can be high in fat. So, beware.
Sugar-Free Cookies:
When an unhealthy ingredient is removed from a food, people tend to think that means few or no calories. As a result, they eat as much as they want. Just because it is sugar-free does not mean it’s good for your diet. You should always check the label. A fat-free or sugar-free food can have the same number of calories as the regular one.
Pork:
Pork is the other white meat, right? Well, the cut and preparation are what determines the healthfulness of this meat. Depending on the cut, the pork can be low-fat (like low-calorie chicken) or high in fat as in a hot dog. Loin cuts are the leanest. If the meat is lean, adding sauce or cheese can also ruin the leanness of the cut.

Coffee:
As you know, coffee has no calories. The ingredients and size are what tend to ruin this .

Dried Fruits and Granola:
Dried fruits are dense in calories because they don’t contain water. Raisins, dried apples and pineapple calorie-free drink. Creams, sugars, and flavors, along with how much you add, are the culprits.

Salad Dressings:
Although salads may seem like they are very healthy, when you add salad dressing, they can become very unhealthy. Salad dressings add a lot of extra calories.
Breakfast Bars:
Many breakfast bars look healthy and the boxes and wrapping looks healthy, too. Don’t let this fool you! Look at the calories and ingredients. Be cautious if one of the first few ingredients is high-fructose corn syruplook healthy on the outside, but are packed with calories. Like most foods eating these foods are fine if eaten in moderation. You shouldn’t sit down and eat the entire bag. The same goes for granola, as it is rich in fat.

Low-fat/Low-cal Foods:
When low-calorie, low-fat, low-carbohydrate foods came about, consumers would see the label and eat the whole thing. “Low” does not mean “no”.
