Salad

Although salads are considered to be a boon for healthy eating, especially among dieters, they can really undermine weight loss efforts, if you're not careful what you put into them. Obviously, leafy greens, raw fruits, veggies and lean proteins are all fair game. But the culprit is usually in the salad dressings. If it's a mayonnaise-based dressing, remember that for every 100 grams of mayo, you're looking at 680 calories. Even olive oil should be used sparingly, as it contains 884 calories per 100 grams. Stick to vinegar-based dressings with moderate olive oil quantities, and you'll be good.
