Tomato sauce can be a healthy, low-calorie cooking addition, but it’s another one where label reading is key,” says London. Many tomato sauce brands contain added sugar and tons of sodium—which basically adds up to unnecessary calories and bloating.
12. Carob
Carob is often touted as a healthier alternative to chocolate, but in reality, it contains the same number of calories (150 per 1-ounce serving) and it lacks the health benefits linked to modest chocolate intake (including lowering your risk of obesity and heart disease). The only difference is that carob is caffeine-free, which can be beneficial if you’re sensitive to the stimulant. But if you’re trying to lose weight, you’ll want to limit your intake of both carob and chocolate.
