3 Foods That you may have thought was healthy but are NOT!

1. Muffins
Thinking that your on the right track when you have a bran muffin over a doughnut every morning? Not at all. Most commercially sold bran muffins contain about 800 calories of pure sugar and fat, well above the calorie count of many traditional cake doughnut. While I’m definitely not advocating consumption of doughnuts for breakfast, I am pointing out that what we think is healthy is actually far worse for us than foods we know are not healthy. A simple fix: Read the nutritional information! It may stop you from making a huge diet mistake.

2. Bars
Many energy, fiber and protein bars are about two kicks away from a candy bar! We’re often pulled in by promises of high fiber or protein, but other than these added-in nutrients, there’s not much else. Want fiber and protein? Have some string cheese or an apple instead! It’s a much better option if you’re trying to get back into thoes jeans you love.

3. Frozen Diet Entrées
Frozen diet entrees are typically loaded with sodium. As they may be be low in calories, they’re also low in nutrients (for example, refined grains may be used instead of whole grains). These frozen meals are a great example of quick convenient food that provides no points on your nutritional scoreboard.
