7 High-Calorie Foods Skinny People Avoid - Are You Still Eating Them?
Losing weight isn't about eating less—it's about eating right. Many people complain they "barely eat" yet can't shed pounds, often because they're consuming hidden calorie bombs . Here are 7 fattening foods to avoid: 1. French Fries Potatoes themselves are carb-heavy but low-fat—until they're deep-fried. A small serving (220 calories, 12g fat) equals a hamburger's worth of empty calories. Tip: At fast-food chains, opt for a burger + water instead of a combo meal. 2.
