Six Foods You Thought Were Healthy but Aren't

Here are some common foods that many people believe are healthy, but can actually be deceptively unhealthy:

1. Avocado - While these have healthy fats and are nutritious, they also contain up to 322 calories and 29 grams of fat per avocado.

2. Granola, Museli - Something I considered healthy for the longest time, it is calorie-dense and packed with sugars and fats.

3. Dried Fruits - Easy to consume in large amounts, they are very high in sugar.

4. Flavored Yogurt - Be cautious with fruit-flavored yogurts, as some can be even unhealthier than desserts.

5. Protein Bars - Many assume that protein bars are healthy, but often they are just marketed as "high-protein" while being loaded with carbohydrates and sugars.

6. Brown Bread - Most bread labeled as "whole grain" or "brown bread" is mixed with refined flour and sugars.

7. Olive Oil - If you’re eating a ton of hummus thinking it’s healthy, remind yourself that the olive oil floating on top of it comes with a ton of calories. Sure, it’s more nutritious than processed oils, but it can add those pounds to the scale.
