They seem "healthy" but you may want to stay away from these suckers next time your hungry...


Dunkin' Donuts' Coffee Cake Muffin


For some reason we equate muffins with healthy...but most of the time, that's NOT the case.

At Dunkin Donuts One muffin like this equals 620 calories; 25g fat, 7g saturated; 54g sugar; 93g carbs.

Choose this instead: For an alternative—but equally decadent—breakfast treat, one glazed donut is a better bet: 220 calories, 9g fat, 12g sugar, 31g carbs.


Lunchables' New Wholesome Deep Dish Pepperoni Fun Pack

A couple of crackers and meat, how bad could it be....right?

Try again. One Fun Pack = 470 calories, 20g fat, 880mg sodium.

Choose this instead: For the same ease, try another variety of Wholesome Lunchables, like the Turkey and Cheddar Club, which comes with water and applesauce instead of cookies and fruit punch, and has 360 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 600 milligrams of sodium.


Arnold's Whole Grain Country White Bread


Not all "whole grain" is REAL WHOLE GRAIN!

Two slices: 220 calories, 4g fat, 420mg sodium, 42g carbs, 4g fiber.

Choose this instead: Try two slices of Arnold’s Light line of breads, like the 100% Whole Wheat: 80 calories, 1g fat, 160mg sodium, 5g fiber. Or try the new Deli Flats from Pepperidge Farm. One 100% whole-wheat roll has 100 calories and 5 grams of fiber.


And this one if a personal fav! Reese's Puffs Cereal




Cereal could be a healthy choice but not this kind!

A 3/4 cup serving with 1/2 cup skim milk: 160 calories, 3g fat, 12g sugar. (One Reese’s Cup has 7 grams of sugar.)

Choose this instead: For an organic and natural take on the peanut-buttery puff, check out EnviroKidz Peanut Butter Panda Puffs from Nature’s Path. The same serving size with milk has slightly more calories, but less sugar: 170 calories, 2.5g fat, 7g sugar.


Healthy Choice Sweet and Sour Chicken



One meal: 400 calories, 13g protein, 5g fiber—but 10g fat, 20g sugar, 500mg sodium.

Choose this instead: The Oven Roasted Chicken meal: 260 calories, 5g fat, 9g sugar, 520mg sodium, 15g protein, 6g fiber.



Quiznos' Chicken With Honey Mustard Flatbread Salad



Unhealthy salads lurk everywhere.

One salad, dressing and bread included: 1,070 calories, 71g fat, 1,770mg sodium.

Choose this instead: The Cantina Chicken Sammie, a 205-calorie, low-fat, veggie-filled flatbread sandwich: 455mg sodium, 12g protein.
