Foods to Avoid

There are some foods that you should avoid because they have very little micro-nutrients and are not healthy to eat (even though they taste good):

Pepperidge Farm Chicken Pot Pie (microwave kind) - if you eat the whole pie, you are taking in over 1,000 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat. gross!

McDonald's Chicken Strips - 5 strips is about 630 calories, 11 grams of artery-clogging fat, 1,550 mg of sodium (this is without the dipping sauce).

Dove Ice Cream - for a scoop the size of a tennis ball, right there thats 300 calories and 11 grams of saturated fat, which is half a days worth).

Burger King Quarter Stacker - it's filled with 4 hamburger patties, 4 slices of cheese, 8 slices of bacon, sauce, and bun (...how delicious...). There is half a day's calories, 1,000; one-and-a-half-days' worth of saturated fat, 30 grams; 3 grams of trans fat; and more than a day's worth of sodium; 1,800 mg!!!

I like this post a lot because some people dont really know how unhealthy fast food or frozen foods can be, I also like the hyperlink at the bottom. I think you could put more unhealthy foods to stay away from.
