The concept of "healthy" versus "nutritious" can be a bit tricky. Here are 8 foods that might be considered healthy in some ways but lack nutrition
Low-Fat Yogurt with Added Sugars: Many flavored yogurts boast being low in fat, but they often pack a punch of added sugar.
Bran Muffins: Bran might sound healthy, but some bran muffins are loaded with refined carbohydrates
Diet Sodas: Diet sodas are calorie-free, but they might not be the best choice for overall health.
Fruit Juice: While fruit juice does contain vitamins and antioxidants, it lacks the fiber present in whole fruit.
Granola Bars: Granola bars can be a convenient snack, but many are high in sugar, calories, and unhealthy fats.
White Rice: White rice is a refined carbohydrate that has been stripped of its fiber and many nutrients.
Processed Deli Meat: Deli meats can be a source of protein, but they are often high in sodium and nitrates.
Trail Mix (store-bought): Trail mix can be a good source of healthy fats and protein, but many store-bought varieties are loaded with added sugars.
