3 Low Calorie Foods That Will Secretly Make You Fat

Nearly all of your best foods for fat loss don’t come with packaging or even nutrition labels.  Here are three culprits that might sound healthy, but actually hinder your fat loss efforts.
1.  Protein and Meal Replacement Bars. Hey, they keep these things in the special “health food” section of the grocery store, right?
There are even entire stores built around nothing more than selling the latest potion, powder, pill, or bar that promises to deliver the fit body you desire with minimum effort.  But this stuff is far from the natural food your body needs for fat loss.
Just try to read the ingredient list on a protein bar without resorting to sounding out the words like a second grader.  And then ask yourself this. . . If the damned thing tastes like a candy bar, do you really think it’s going to be good for fat loss?
2.  100 calorie snacks. Speaking of candy, you can get everything from M&M’s to Oreos in cute little 100 calorie snack packs. 
100 calories can’t hurt anything, right?  Wrong.  It’s still candy.  They’re still cookies. 
And candy and cookies are not what builds a lean and fit body.  Am I saying that you have to give these things up forever?  Of course not.  Am I recommending strongly that you give them up, even in seemingly harmless 100 calorie doses, during a 31 day fat loss blitz?  Absolutely.
3.  Prepackaged Frozen Meals. It might say healthy choice on the box, but just the fact that it comes in a box should be your first clue that it probably isn’t so.
Preservatives and other chemicals, along with added sugar and salt, will be staples in just about any frozen meal.
But my real problem with the frozen meals that are touted as healthy or watching your weight is that they always seem to have pasta, rice, or potatoes as one of the main ingredients.  And those items will KILL your fat loss efforts.
Want a convenient source of protein?  Try a can of tuna.  Looking for a low calorie snack?  Grab an apple. Or how about some pecans with raisins and a little bit of salt? Or check out Isabel’s tasty ideas for healthy foods
 Need a prepackaged meal for lunch?  Prepackage it yourself by cooking some chili or pot roast and you’ll have lunch for the rest of the week!
  Despite what the marketing marvels behind the above items want you to think, the truth is that the best way to fat loss is by eating real foods like vegetables, fruits, meat, and nuts in as close to their natural state as possible.
