  • Processed meat
    Various types of processed meat, such as bacon or bacon, contain lots of salt and fat, and nitrate as a preservative. Sausage also includes processed meat that is widely used for fast food serving. The content of salt and fat in sausage is not less high. To replace these processed meats, you can choose fresh roasted chicken or beef. Both types of meat are high in protein, vitamin, and mineral content, as well as free from preservatives. As an alternative to meat, you can try grilling vegetables, such as mushrooms, eggplant, and red pepper. Sprinkle a little spice to add flavor.
  • Keik, sweet cakes and biscuits
    Keik and sweet cakes include unhealthy foods, because they contain lots of flour, sugar, and saturated fats. One average cut has 228 calories, which consists of 28 grams of sugar and 9 grams of saturated fat. Biscuits should also be limited, because they are low in fiber, and high in sodium.

Though this type of snack contains fat, saturated fat, and high sugar, so it can increase the intake of calories significantly. If you want to keep eating these snacks, you can choose low-sugar ice cream, fat, and calories. For healthier options, serve fresh fruit and add with nonfat yogurt.
  • Frozen potatoes ready to fry

    This type of food is increasingly common in refrigerators. Though a small bowl of about 85 grams of French fries contain 160-190 calories, mainly from sodium, fat, and saturated fat. Replace frozen fries with baked or burned natural potatoes, without excessive salt, fat, or extra saturated fat.
  • Cream and salad dressing mayonnaise
    Different types of salad cream sauce commonly found in refrigerator, high in weight Each two tablespoons of sauce contains 120 calories consisting of 12 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, and 380 milligrams of sodium. In addition, mayonnaise is a calorie enhancer that is sometimes overlooked. A quarter cup of mayonnaise can contain 360 calories and 40 grams of fat. Reduce the use of salad dressing sauces and mayonnaise, or choose products that contain fewer calories.
  • Soda and other sweet drinks
    This type of beverage contains high calories from sugar, and contains no nutrients. A 470ml bottle of soda contains about 50 grams of sugar. Tea in packs and energy drinks, also contains almost equal sugar. Water is the best option to keep body fluids stable. If you are tired of the taste of water, mix white water with fruit, vegetables, or herbs. For example lemon, berries, oranges, cucumbers, or mint leaves. In addition, some drinks such as green tea and black tea can be an alternative drink without calories and rich in antioxidants that are good for the body.

After knowing the healthy food choices and not, you should immediately replace unhealthy foods in the refrigerator with healthier foods. Do not hesitate to consult a doctor or nutritionist, to find out information about the best food sources of nutrition for you and your family.
