Unhealthy Health Food

Some foods LOOK like they’re really good for you - but looks can be deceiving...

We might just be sabotaging our diet by picking foods and snacks that LOOK healthy. Consumer Reports has a list of unhealthy health foods to avoid:




• Veggie chips – they’re usually fried in oil and loaded with fat.
• Trail mix – most brands have about 700 calories in one cup.
• Granola cereal can have about 400 calories per serving. You’re better off with Cheerios.
• Wraps are high in calories, and volume. Split one, or go for a sandwich on whole wheat.

Popcorn is a good snack option, but only if it’s air-popped. Instead of butter and salt, try some grated parmesan on there – it’s got less fat.
