When you are trying to lose weight, every meal\/snack matters. Counting calories, carbs, and fat grams can be tedious – reading every label before making a purchase or grabbing a snack – but it is often necessary. If you don’t read labels, you can easily make misinformed choices regarding foods. Read on for examples of tricky foods that may supply you with more calories, carbs, etc. than you need:\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

The misconception of size: When you look at certain types of foods, it’s easy to assume they have a small number of calories based on their size. A tortilla, for example, is much thinner than a piece of bread. This can mistakenly lead to you believe that they are the better food option when trying to\u00a0lose weight<\/a>. However, even small flour tortillas often contain as much or more calories than a piece of bread. A large burrito tortilla can even contain nearly 300 calories! Additionally, snack items that are small can be tricky. The cinnamon-flavored hard candies Red Hots might appear to be a safe indulgence, but a serving contains 100 calories.
