Prepared Salads - Just because a food item has the word "salad" in it doesn't mean it's healthy for you. A high percentage of restaurants and grocer's prepare salads with numerous add-ons such as cheese and meaty forms of protein which can inject you with up to 900mg of sodium. And that's without salad dressing!
Ice Cream - We all scream for ice cream sometimes but what we really should be screaming for is its healthier cousin frozen yogurt. One traditional serving of ice cream can produce a double whammy of 25g of sugar and fat and if you do seconds, you can consume more than a third of the calories you're supposed to take in on a daily basis.
Chicken Wings - "Wing Nights" should come with medical contracts on their actual chicken wings rather than their heat-soaked sauces because their irresistable taste usually comes with 30g of fat and sodium levels that provide more than your daily limit for salt.
Fruit Juice Cocktails - The thing about fruit juice cocktails is most varieities taste amazing and they're almost always tagged with a sale price, but does that mean they're worthy to include in your diet? Unfortunately, no, as an 8-ounce glass can contain up to 40g of sugar which is more than your average can of soda.
Potato Chips - Like the Lays brand advertises, you just can't have one and overdosing on All Dressed or Sour Cream & Onion chips can result in high fat intakes and over 300mg of sodium despite signs that point to 0 trans fats.
