Not all chips and cookies are super unhealthy.
Having chips and cookies once in a while is ok. Try some of these healthier snack options: vanilla wafers, graham crackers, animal crackers, low-fat popcorn, tortilla chips and salsa, baked potato chips, whole-wheat crackers.
There are ways to make fast food a healthier meal.
Skip the value-sized or super-sized, use mustard instead of mayo, add extra lettuce and tomato to your burger, get a baked potato or salad instead of fries, and skip the soda.
Not all canned fruits are the same.
A serving of canned fruit counts as a serving of fruit for the day but only if you eat the right kind of canned fruit. Eat ones that are packed in water, juice, or light syrup. Fruit packed in heavy syrup contains a ton of sugar which can add on the pounds.
Not all salads are healthy.
If your salad is loaded with salad dressing, it probably contains a lot of fat and oil. Toppings like bacon, whole milk cheese, and tons of croutons can also add on the calories.
