12 Most Surprising Fattening Foods ...

By now we all know we’re supposed to be eating foods that are high in fat — especially saturated and trans fat! — only in moderation. If you’re trying to lose weight, chances are you’re avoiding high-fat foods altogether. But sometimes fat is sneaky, showing up in the foods we least expect. Here are some examples, with their fat content per the manufacturers’ serving sizes…

1. Weight Watchers English Toffee Crunch: 12 g fat, 10 g saturated fat

Whoa, wait a minute! On one hand, I know anything that says “English Toffee Crunch” is going to have some fat in it, but then on other hand, something that says “Weight Watchers” ought to be low in fat! How confusing! These may be lower in fat than other ice cream bars (only by a little), but they’re still VERY high in saturated fat! Let me say that again… these are VERY high in saturated fat! Yikes!

    I wasn’t surprised by an of that. You have to read labels. If you do, you will know that “diet” doesn’t really mean diet and such. The popcorn one was just ridiculous.

    The weight watcher’s ones aren’t surprising because they already tell you they have a high point value. The high point value probably comes partially from the high fat content.

    Fat is not the enemy -sugar is. I’ve lost 5 jean sizes and improved all my bloodwork (cholesterol, etc) by eating a high fat (50-60% of calories -volume is mostly veggies though) diet. Saturated fat ... See more is not bad for you either. Check out the Weston Price Foundation studies.

    I’m in Vancouver, Canada, and I love the Blenz Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Shake! I didn’t realize how much fat it had in it until I went to their website and discovered that there’s ... See more 723 calories, and 31.5 grams of fat! For something that tastes so good but is oh so bad for you, it has relatively no saturated fat, at 0.1 grams. On my particular diet, 723 calories is almost half my daily intake of calories! Great article…but way too short.

      Hi Dan and thank you for your insight.
      723 calories is freakin’ mad but isn’t that the way it usually is. All the best tasting things have the most calories.
      Thanks for reading and look ... See more out for an update on the article :)

    This is such a short list! Food is just food, the best kind of food to eat is unprocessed, in other words. Just got my MS in Nutrition and realized the best advice any professor ... See more ever gave me is to just shop “around” a grocery store… in other words, skip most of the stuff in all the middle aisles and shop around the sides of the store… fresh fruits and veggies, skim milks and fat free yogurts, low fat cuts of meat and you’re pretty much good with that, whole wheat and high fiber breads. Not sure if this would work at the new mega stores but back in the day, the best foods were in the first row (fruits and vegetables), the back (meats), and the last row (dairy products).

    Hi Jennifer! I like drinking milk but I always buy non-fat milk (0% fat) so I guess it’s ok. Well I’m guilty about macaroni and cheese because my mother recipe is irresistible.

    Hi… you need to look at calories, first of all… try to go to your gym and see how much you’ll lose during a training. it is really a great way to lose weight.
    also ... See more look for sugar related carbs, and not only fats and saturated fats. actually the omega fats can be really good for you like make your skin look clean…

    Tip – eat real food, and not pre-packaged junk. And then you don’t have to worry about this kind of stuff.
