Foods High In Iron

David Zinczenko is the Men's Health editor who is the author of several great visual aid books on food and nutrition for people who don't eat Clean - but also don't realize what they are eating is rapidly killing them. He has written multiple Eat This, Not That books. He's compiled a great list of some more really bad foods. I find these lists both informative and eye opening, and I like to pass them along to my readers. It is absolutely amazing to me that I was SO clueless what I was eating previously. How on Earth did I make it into my 40's and NOT have a heart attack or get diabetes? 1. Worst Yogurt Stonyfield Whole Milk Chocolate Underground (1 container) 220 calories 5 g fat (3 g saturated) 36 g sugars Stonyfield is notorious for being generous with the sugar, but the 9 spoonfuls in its Chocolate Underground is bad even by the most indulgent dessert standards. Not even Ben & Jerry's most decadent scoop has this much sugar. 2. Worst Condiment  Egg...

McDonald's recently introduced  Fruit and Maple Oatmeal. Finally, something for us Clean Eaters on the go. Official ingredients listed are "100% natural whole grain oats, brown sugar, and cream topped mixed with diced fresh apples, dried cranberries, and regular and golden raisins." However, analysis by researchers has revealed that this little 9 oz cup has more sugar than a Snickers bar , and only 10 fewer calories than an Egg McMuffin or a plain cheeseburger . Even without the brown sugar - it still has more calories than a plain hamburger. McDonald's has been billing this as "a bowlful of wholesome." I'd call it a bowlful of Bad Food. I'm pointing this out because sometimes as Clean Eaters we get blinders on to foods like these. "Oatmeal - what could be more wholesome than that? I can eat that." Once again - eyes open. Read labels, question what you are eating. Be aware that advertising is exactly that. I want you as a Clean Eater to lo...

Bad processed foods come in all shapes and sizes. I found this to be more than just difficult to swallow; there are 3 foods on here I used to eat on a regular basis ! ( I'll leave you to guess which 3 they are... ) 1. Judging by the label, Marie Callender’s (16.5 oz) Chicken Pot Pie has 520 calories, 11 grams of saturated fat, and 800 mg of sodium. But look again. Those numbers are for only half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as most people probably do, and you’re talking 1,040 calories, 22 grams of saturated fat (more than a day’s worth), and 1,600 mg of sodium (an entire day’s worth). 2. Can’t decide what to pick from a restaurant menu? No worries. Now you can order not just one entrée, but two … or three … all at once. Olive Garden’s Tour of Italy – Homemade Lasagna, Lightly Breaded Chicken Parmigiana, and Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo – comes with 1,450 calories, 33 grams of saturated fat, and 3,830 milligrams of sodium. Add a breadstick (150 calories and 400 mg of...
