I Eat Healthy, but I'm Overweight. What Mistakes Could I Be Making without Realizing It?


1. Skipping meals. Many healthy eaters "diet by day and binge by night."

2.
Don't "graze" yourself fat. You can easily munch 600 calories of pretzels or cereal without realizing it.

3.
Eating pasta like crazy. A serving of pasta is 1 cup, but some people routinely eat 4 cups. Eating super size bagels of 400 to 500 calories for snacks.

4. Ignoring "Serving Size" on the Nutrition Facts panel.

5. Snacking on bowls of nuts. Nuts are healthy but dense with calories. Put those bowls away, and use nuts as a garnish instead of a snack.

6.
Thinking all energy bars and fruit smoothies are low-cal.
