The Sneakiest And Most Deceiving Foods

We all love saving calories here and there. We do that by making healthy choices, but what if the foods you thought were healthy were secretly loaded with calories? Unfortunately that is the case. Here are some foods that might be sneaking by your calorie radar. 

1. Raisins - They definitely aren't bad for you but one little box has 129 calories and you can get the same from two full cups of grapes. 

2. Grape Nuts - This healthy and filling cereal offers over 400 calories for just one cup. It's also loaded with sodium so our recommendation is to seek out one of the many other healthier options. 

3. Peanut Butter - It's great in moderation but consider that just two tablespoons offers as many calories as a Snickers bar. 

4. Dark Chocolate - Yes, it is the healthier option and is proven to provide the body with anti-oxidants, but, again, it's all about moderation. Some bars have as much as 600 calories. 

5. Greek Yogurt - The plain kind is loaded with protein and low on carbs but most people don't like the taste of plain. This is where the problem starts. The flavored varieties of greek yogurt crank up your sugar intake so flavor with caution. A teaspoon of honey might be just enough to sweeten it up for you. 

6. Whole Wheat Bread - Just because it's healthier, doesn't mean it has any less calories than any other variety of bread. Look at the label before you get too bread-crazy. 

7. Olive Oil - Just two tablespoons comes with over 200 calories. It has been proven to be healthier for your heart than other cooking oils but that doesn't mean you can drench your meal in it. 

8. Trail Mix - It's a mix of a bunch of healthy ingredients so it can't be all bad right? Just one cup can put you up an extra 700 calories!  It was designed to be high in calories to help sustain hikers as they worked their way through dangerous trails and up mountains, not just a snack for everyday Joe or Jane. 

9. Ramen Noodles - Admit it, ever since college you've had the occasional craving. One block of Ramen adds close to 400 calories to your day making it a meal instead of a snack.
