Healthy foods that can make you Fat

21. Sushi
Raw fish alone will hardly put a dent in your calorie intake. Special sushi rolls are another story. They often come with rich, highcalorie ingredients such as cream cheese, spicy mayo, tempura-battered shrimp, and lots of white rice. Youll need to watch out for the soy sauce too, since it has sodium, which can cause bloating.

Get it guilt-free: Opt for sashimi, brown rice sushi, or a simple roll without all of the extra ingredients
22. Sandwich wraps
You may be patting yourself on the back for choosing a wrap over a couple slices of bread. It turns out that many varieties are actually worse for your waistline than a couple slices of whole grain bread. A Mission Spinach Wrap, for example, racks up 210 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 440 milligrams of belly-bloating sodium and that's before you even add any toppings.

Get it guilt-free: Keep calories under control by using smaller sandwich tortillas that are 6 to 8 inches in diameter. You should also be sure the package says 100% whole grain. Some "veggie wraps" are just a white-flour wrap with a tiny amount of veggies and a whole lot of food coloring.
23. Iced tea
Tea contains disease-fighting antioxidants and has been linked to improved heart health and reduced risk for dementia. However, drinking sweetened bottled tea may do your health more harm than good. These products are loaded with sugar, and one bottle may contain two or more servings.

Get it guilt free: Brew your own iced tea and add sweetener gradually to taste; you'll probably use less than youd get from a bottle. Or, simply buy an unsweetened variety.
24. Veggie burgers
Veggie burgers have less fat and cholesterol than traditional beef patties. Like any burger, though, you can easily add 1,000 calories or more by piling on cheese, ketchup, and mayo on a huge bun.

Get it guilt-free: Go easy on the toppings and try one of these slim recipes.
25. The Tofu
Tofu is packed with iron, calcium, and protein, and a half cup raw contains just 94 calories. Problem is, it can also sponge up the oil youre cooking with, turning your healthy meal into a fat bomb.

Get it guilt free: Stick to just 1 tablespoon of oil when making a stir fry, or try one of these healthy tofu recipes.
26. Salad
Think youre making a smart choice by ordering a salad? You are, as long as you dont load your leafy greens with shredded cheese, croutons, candied nuts, and creamy dressing. Doing that can easily make your meal even more fattening than having pizza for dinner.

Get it guilt free: Cut down on add ons and go easy on the dressing even some vinaigrettes can be high in calories.
27. Energy bar
Energy bars are loaded with sugar and carbs and are high on the glycemic index. Eat one while sitting at your desk, and youll feel the sugar rush and then the crash.

Get it guilt free: Though energy bars arent ideal for everyday snacking, they come in handy when youre exercising for longer than an hour. If youre going on a three hour bike ride, for instance, youll need to stop and eat about halfway through in order to have enough energy to pedal yourself home.
28. Cereal
Starting your day with a bowl of cereal can give you a dose of whole grains, fiber, and protein or it can load you up with sugar and sodium.

Get it guilt free: Read the box closely: your cereal should contain at least 3 grams of fiber and no more than 10 grams of sugar per serving, and whole grains should be at the top of the ingredients list.
29. Whole wheat bread
Unless its made from actual whole grains, its just as processed as white bread. Often, the whole wheat has been ground into a fine flour thats easy to digest and spikes your blood sugar just as quickly as white bread.

Get it guilt free: Look for 100% whole wheat, whole grain or sprouted breads instead.
30. Frozen fruit
Frozen fruit is just as good as fresh, and in fact, Healths contributing nutrition editor always has some in her freezer. But did you know that many brands add sugar?

Get it guilt free: Check the ingredients list. It should contain just one ingredient: the fruit.
