I have an opinion.

I believe that you can't really assess how "good" or "bad" a food is. You can only assess how that food contributes to your entire diet. So for example, a blueberry muffin and a serving of chips might be a perfectly fine decision depending on the rest of the food you are eating that day.

But that's just what I believe.


Good day!

How is yogurt w/ fruit or a granola bar bad for you?

EDIT: When you change your .avi my comment isn't going to make as much sense. So don't do that.

^^^Agreed! It all comes down to what else you put in your body and how much of it! Before I got pregnant I was losing weight and IF it fit in my calorie intake I still had half a chocolate bar and still lost 30lbs doing that. Some healthy foods can be bad for you if you eat to much of it, thats what I think anyways. Others may see different.

I'm not an expert and there is so much info on the internet, I just came across this and thought it was interesting so thought I would share it.

If you click the link you can read more about why each one is bad for your body.

So, french fries, brownies, orange cranberry muffins or Cheetos would be better than honey roasted salted nuts? And all granola bars and yogurt are equal?

Good to know.

x2 Additionally, they seem to put forth sodium as a primary reason these foods are "unhealthy" but sodium isn't an issue for most people that are healthy over all and eat a generally balanced diet. It can actually be beneficial if you workout/sweat a lot.

I like diet Soda!

I don't see anything wrong with lean microwave popcorn or dried fruit.

There's not a helluva lot wrong with the other foods, although I usually don't eat them for one reason or another, usually being more sodium or sugar than I want, I would certainly not consider them as bad a choice as a tall regular coke with a whole bag of oreos.

No matter what food you pick, there is always another food nutritionally superior.

I don't think anyone is ragging on you. I believe they are calling false the logic use to call them "worst foods."

Nothing wrong with sharing, I just make it a point to comment on things like this because the amount of misinformation on the internet is rather ridiculous when compared to the amount of quality info.

Rice Cakes... really???

I'm a real fan of Quakes, the caramel ones taste like a real treat, and... 16 mini-cakes = 120 calories. This to me is a no-brainer!
I'm also a fan of another non-food; Special K cracker/chips... 30 chips = 110 calories.

I'll freely admit that neither of these can be found in nature, & I'm a "calories in/calories out" kinda guy, I don't obsess over the "quality of "food" ".

Perhaps I'm not the perfect dieter, but I'm good with that!!

Ridiculous to include rice cakes per se, the ones I get are made with wholegrain rice and a little apple juice and are organic.

While I don't necessarily agree that those are the worst snacks for you, I do agree that the information given as to why they are thought to be the worst snacks is something to be considered.

And, personally, I love those 'bland' plain rice cakes.

I don't think snacks like french fries and brownies are "bad" but it usually takes a lot of calories worth of it to satisfy me. Eating the same volume of fruit satisfies me just as good as the french fries or brownies but has much less calories.

JustPeachy044

prepackaged cakes/cookies and deep-fried anything...full of trans fats and "nutritionally bankrupt". Most foods with loads of calories, saturated fats IN COMBINATION with very low nutrients do not pass my lips.

Look at the food, what bang for your buck are you getting? I agree, a lot of people diss foods like nut butters because they have "too many calories". I prefer to look at what value those calories have, not just macro but also the micro nutrients!
