Every day we are faced with choices that can be god or bad. What we eat does matter, and can affect your weight, health, and mood. In the Nutrician Action Health Leeter, they listed a few foods that are good to avoid, or consume less often. Many more could be added to their short list, but at least these will be a start in what you don’t want to build your eating selections around.

Marie Callendar’s Chicken Pot Pie proclaims that it has 520 calories and 12 grams of fat in their small pie. That is actually the calories and fat in only half of that pie, because it states it has two servings! Progresso’s regular Traditional Vegetable Classics are very high in salt/ sodium. Try their reduced sodium selections, which are very good.

A top ice cream, Haagen Dazs, is very high in calories, with around 300 for a half cup serving. The whole pint is at least four servings, so at least 1200 calories, depending on which flavor you choose. A favorite restaurant of many, The Cheesecake Factory, has their Outrageous Chocolate Cake, with layers of chocolate, brownie, and coconut pecan filling. That tasty monster has 1550 calories, 32 teaspoons of sugar, and 43 grams of saturated fat. That is equivalent to three McDonalds quarter pounders, for just desert!

Tomorrow we will finish with a few more ‘ not so good for you’ foods, so plan to stop back. Get fit from more exercise and fitness. We just love the Valeo Exercise Balls plus Valeo Medicine Balls and recommend them for adding some fun to your daily workouts.
