10 Foods High in Calories That are a Big NO

2. Soda and Sweetened Beverages

Several studies have shown that the sugar used in sweetening beverages increase the risk of chronic diseases. This includes diabetes and heart disease. It also speeds up weight gain. It is advised that you take no more than 6.5 teaspoons of added sugar each day. If you go beyond what is allowed, it is totally unhealthy. In fact, each can of soda contains up to 30 teaspoons of added sugar, reaching up to 475 empty calories each day.

3. Wraps

Sometimes, people think that this is a healthy choice because it has lettuce inside. There are even other vegetables that could be added to the filling. The truth is that the flat breads used as the wrap make the food total unhealthy. It can bring up to 300 calories per serving. Add to that the other unhealthy foods you put inside like cheese, spread, and cold cuts, and you will reach up to 700 calories. In short, it is not in any way a healthy option.
