The average adult female should get no more than 2,000 daily calories and the average adult male should get no more than 2,400 daily calories. only about 30 percent of these calories should come from fat. Also, most healthy adults should be getting no more than 1,500 to 2,400 milligrams of sodium in one day. Unfortunately, many of today's foods---even the ones that purport to be healthy---are full of calories, sodium, and chemically-altered ingredients. Know the types of foods to avoid in order to maintain a healthy and balanced diet.

Packaged Baked Goods

Most mainstream packaged baked goods---cookies, mini-muffins, cinnamon rolls, crackers, biscuits, dinner rolls, and more---contain partially hydrogenated fats ("trans fats"). These fats have been chemically altered to stretch shelf life for the food, but they also have been linked to obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, immune dysfunction, and reproductive problems. Look at the ingredient lists of your packaged baked goods and if you find "partially-hydrogenated oil" or "partially-hydrogenated fat" of any sort, steer clear.

Fast Food Hamburgers
Fast food burgers taste so yummy because they are full of calories. Burger King's Double Whopper contains 920 calories and 62 fat grams, 95 percent of your daily fat value. It also contains 1070 milligrams of sodium. The McDonald's Big Mac is slightly "healthier" with 590 calories, 33 grams of fat, and 1007 milligrams of sodium. Both burgers contain trans-fat. Enough said.

 

Canned Juices
Canned juices contain very little juice and the rest is water, sugar, and preservatives. You would be better off buying fresh squeezed juice from a jug.

 

Donuts
Eating a single donut for breakfast can pack on 300 calories and lots of refined sugar. Multiply that by the amount of donuts you decide to eat in a day and you start to run out of your daily allotment without consuming any nutrients. Eat donuts sparingly to spare yourself the spare tire.

 

Potato Chips
Potato Chips -- Many potato chips are high in trans-fats, sodium, calories, and simple sugars. Don't fool yourself into thinking they qualify as a daily vegetable. When you do decide to have a handful, go for the baked variety.

Microwavable Diet Foods
Weight Watchers dinners, Lean Cuisines, Smart ones, and other pre-packaged, frozen meals are mostly low in fat, but they are still processed foods that are high in sodium. Lean Cuisine's Macaroni and Beef in Tomato Sauce contains 569 milligrams of sodium. (Plus, are you ever really full after eating one?)

Canned Soup
Sodium is also prevalent  in canned soups. A one-half-cup "serving size" of Campbell's tomato rice soup contains 770 milligrams of sodium. Multiply that by how many servings you really intend to eat. Low-sodium varieties are a couple hundred milligrams better, but much of their flavor is gone.

Ramen Noodles
One package of chicken flavored ramen noodles may be easy on your wallet, but not on your body. It contains 1,760 milligrams of sodium, or about 73 percent of your daily recommended intake.

Frozen Pot Pies
Frozen pot pies contain tons of sodium, calories, and fat. A single Marie Callender's frozen chicken pot pie entrée contains 667 calories, 41 grams of fat (or about 64 percent of your daily allotment,) 1,002 milligrams of sodium, and some trans fat.

Hot Dogs
Processed meats such as hot dogs and bologna and other packaged lunch meats are not only high in calories from fat---Oscar Meyer wieners contain 147 calories, but 123 of them are from fat---they are also linked to increased risk of kidney, stomach, and colorectal cancer.
