2. Camouflaged food: Many foods are characterized by health, but actually they don't have much nutrition, such as various fruit drinks, vegetable biscuits and children's fruit desserts.

3. Big Burger: Extra hamburger, double beef patties, constant price-can you really take advantage of it? The calories of the Big Mac can be as high as 1,521 calories, which is all the calories a middle-aged woman needs in a day. Give up what one favours very reluctantly.

4. Bread with stuffing: The bread itself has good nutrition, but it is different when chocolate, fruit and cream are added. Not only the sugar and calories are multiplied, but the nutrition is also pitiful. Therefore, choosing the original whole wheat bread is a good performance for yourself.
