When I go grocery shopping, I try to buy healthy food. But I didn't realize that half the stuff I thought was buying isn't healthy! Boo on that! But here's a few things I've learned...
1. Yogurt - It is good for you, but the sugar amount is not! Try to buy 25 grams of sugar per serving (or less). Or buy plain greek yogurt (which has less sugar and more protein) and add honey or jam.
2. Sugar-free treats sound good, but they have more fat in them and there's just as much or more calories.
3. Fat free foods aren't good for you because you need fat to absorb nutrients and they usually add extra sugars in. Try low fat if you're concerned about fat content
4. Diet Soda... artificial sugars make you crave real sugar
5. Trail Mix sounds good for you, but you need to watch your portions. There's a lot of fats and sugars in them
6. Turkey Burger sounds like the healthier choice no? But it usually contains dark meat and skin, which raises it's fat content compared to a Beef burger that is just beef. If you really want a turkey burger, look for lean and clean turkey
7. Veggie Chips. Just because they say Veggie, doesn't mean they're healthier. Chips are potatoes which is a Veggie too!
8. Smoothies... always watch the additives. Some chains smoothies are over 600 calories!
9. Sushi is great for you, but watch the add-ons. Go for brown rice :) and don't do fried anything!
