You think it's healthy...but it's not

Breakfast:
Pop-Tarts Whole Grain Brown Sugar Cinnamon
400 calories
14 g fat
28 g sugars
Don't be fooled by the use of the term "whole grain". There is still too much sugar in this breakfast and it will not fill you up.


Lunch:
Spicy Tuna Roll
460 calories
9 g fat
64 g carbs
Sushi always seems like a healthy option, right? Nope.
A lot of sushi filling is mixed with full-fat mayo and cream cheese. Be cautious when "spicy" and "crunchy" are in the title.


Dinner:
Turkey Burger from Ruby Tuesday
890 calories
47 g fat
49 g carbs
I always used to choose the turkey burger option at restaurants, but never again.
Try Fuddruckers and choose their ostrich burger on whole wheat, which is leaner than chicken!


Dessert:
Low Carb Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory
610 calories
57 g fat
39 g carb
I'm not sure how 39 gram of carbs counts as low carb and 57 grams of fat is more than a person should eat in an entire day.
