The world is full of food that tastes good and is still incredibly bad for you. Some of these food items are instantly familiar: fast food, to use one example, is quite tasty but loaded with calories and other things that will damage our bodies in major ways. But what about all of those foods that, on the surface, appear to be wise choices? What about some of those food items that you just feed to your kids? In this article we'll be looking at some of the absolute worst type of foods that you could ever feed to yourself or other people in your family.



One of the worst things on earth, contrary to popular belief is a dish of macaroni and cheese. The make-on-your-own variety that you can purchase, like Annie's or Kraft, is pretty fine but the kind you order in a restaurant is not. The Kids Mac and Cheese dinner that you purchase in California Pizza Kitchen, to apply one example, is incredibly bad! This just one dish includes over a thousand calories, over sixteen hundred milligrams of sodium and nearly forty grams of saturated fat! No part of that is really nutritious.

How often do you buy a new frozen pot pie from the freezer section of your grocery store? These look like mostly healthful last minute meals but they are in fact full of calories that you don't need. The pot pies created by Stouffer's, as an example, are full of almost eighteen hundred milligrams of sodium, more than sixty grams of fat and more than eleven hundred calories. If you are trying to shed pounds you could end up eating all of your daily calories with just this one food item!

Most people believe that a vegetarian sandwich is probably the healthiest thing they can order through a fast food franchise. The real truth is that these types of sandwiches usually are dressed with dressings and other condiments which contribute to making them just as unhealthy as a meat-based sandwich. The vegetarian hoagie out of Blimpies, for instance, contains almost twelve hundred calories, sixty grams of fat and more than thirty five hundred milligrams of sodium. Why do people imagine that is nutritious?

Surely a salad, of all things, needs to be healthful. This is common concept in any case. When we are wanting something wholesome and quick, we usually look for a salad to help fill us up with food that is good for us. Would you be stunned to discover, then, that there are some salads on the market that are almost bad for you? The Santa Fe chopped salad from TGI Fridays, for instance, weighs in at eighteen hundred calories. This is probably because the salad is the size of a big dinner plate but think about it: do you want all of your caloric intake for the day to be used up by this one salad?

The simple fact is that much of the meals that we buy while we are on the go or from restaurants is just not as good for us as the food that we cook and prepare for ourselves. Sure preparing food at home can be a pain or feel monotonous, but if you're watching your weight and trying to stay healthy, it is the best thing you can do for yourself!
