‘Healthy’ foods you should skip

Food Network Kitchens

Lots of foods are presented as healthy eating choices when they’re anything but. Such as ...

•Whole-grain bagels. It’s still a high-calorie bagel, even if it’s made with whole-grain ingredients.

•High-fiber yogurt. Yogurt doesn’t naturally contain fiber..

•Drinks with “servings of fruits and vegetables.”

•Frozen diet entrees. You’re usually getting vastly processed ingredients and an excessive amount of sodium.

•Breakfast cereals labeled “whole-grain.” Most of them average less than one gram of fiber and 3 teaspoons of added sugar per cup.

•Fat-free cheese.

•Snack mixes.

•Baked and fat-free chips.
