Suggestion: If you love your juice bar ,go for the smallest serving (usually 16 ounces) and have half right away and save the rest for later. Even 16 ounces is too much juice all at one sitting.

3.) Kellogg's Cracklin Oat Bran. This cereal looks healthy from the packaging and yes, it is very high in fiber, coming in at 7 grams. However, it is also high in calories, total fat, saturated fat, and sugar. It also has hydrogenated fats. This cereal has more sugar than Frosted Flakes. Even when a product is high in fiber it is still important to look at the other ingredients to see if it is a good choice.

Suggestion: Kashi Go Lean is a great high fiber/high protein cereal that has significantly less sugar and saturated fats. Good old fashioned oatmeal is also a great choice for the morning.

4.) Taco Salad. It would seem that the healthiest choice in a Mexican restaurant would be the taco salad, but it isn't. A traditional taco salad has more calories and fat than two crispy beef tacos. It's all about the shell; the taco shell alone has 280 calories and 16 grams of fat.

Suggestion: When ordering a taco salad, skip eating the shell or eat only a quarter of it. Chicken soft tacos are also a good choice for Mexican food.
