If you\u2019re having trouble losing weight, it might be a good idea to check that you\u2019re not overeating any of these sneaky high calorie foods.<\/p>\n

It might seem obvious. High calorie foods will increase your overall calorie intake, potentially pushing you past your target. If you think you\u2019re consuming 2,000 calories and you\u2019re actually hitting 2,500 calories, then your weight loss attempts are likely to falter before you even start.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, you don\u2019t even realize that you\u2019re taking in all these extra calories.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a look at these high calorie foods that might be preventing you from losing weight!<\/p>\n

Discover What These Sneaky High Calorie Foods Are<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I know what you\u2019re probably thinking. You\u2019re careful about what you eat, and there\u2019s no way these sneaky high calorie foods are affecting your diet\u2026<\/p>\n

The truth is, most people will be consuming at least one of the following products. The problem isn\u2019t in eating them; it\u2019s in underestimating how much you\u2019re having and how high the calorie content is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Peanut butter <\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are 100 calories in one tablespoon of peanut butter. How much are you putting on your toast? Most people probably use a LOT more than 1 tablespoon (guilty!).\"sneaky<\/p>\n

2. Tahini <\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 tablespoon of tahini contain approximately 90 calories.<\/p>\n

3. Muesli \/ Granola<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00bd cup of a typical toasted muesli or granola can have around 220 calories.<\/p>\n

4. Honey <\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 tablespoon has 64 calories.\"how<\/p>\n

5. Trail Mix <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00bd cup trail mix can have as much as 346 calories!<\/p>\n

6. Avocado <\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 average sized avocado will have approximately 240 calories.\"5-Ways-To-Cleanse-Your-<\/p>\n

7. Crisps \/ Potato Chips <\/strong><\/h4>\n

A small packet of salt and vinegar crisps has 184 calories.<\/p>\n

8. Coconut Milk <\/strong><\/h4>\n

An 8-ounce glass (250mL) has 550 calories.<\/p>\n

9. Olive Oil <\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 tablespoon has 120 calories.\"\"<\/p>\n

10. Mayonnaise <\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 tablespoon has approximately 90 calories.<\/p>\n

11. Nuts <\/strong><\/h4>\n

I know we\u2019ve already covered peanut butter, but 22 peanuts are the same as 200 calories! And \u00bc cup of almonds or cashews is about 200 calories.\"high<\/p>\n

The Real Problem With The Sneaky High Calorie Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The real issue is not that these foods are high in calories, because many of them are healthy. It is that you don\u2019t realize just how high they are!<\/p>\n

The other problem is that with these foods, it\u2019s easy to eat a LOT of them without even realizing how many calories you\u2019ve just eaten! Portion control with these foods is tough!<\/p>\n

The Best Way To Deal With These Sneaky Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wiping them out from your diet is not a good long term solution (you don\u2019t want to cut out any foods if you don\u2019t have to!). If you enjoy these foods, then include them in your diet. If you cut them out, you might start to crave them and could then be tempted to binge on them.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget About Them<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Try to make sure you don\u2019t forget about the calories in these foods, and you account for them if you\u2019re counting calories.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t consider the calories in a tablespoon of olive oil and you cook with it every day, you could be adding hundreds of extra calories to your diet each day!<\/p>\n

The calorie content for each item might seem fairly small but you can easily consume a lot of each piece of food.<\/p>\n

Journal It<\/strong><\/h4>\n

By creating a food journal you\u2019ll be able to verify if your calorie intake is the same as what you think it is. You\u2019ll also be able to see how often you\u2019re using sneaky high calorie foods. This will allow you to work out the best way of removing them or managing them each week.<\/p>\n

Portion Control<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You should also consider your portion control of these foods (easier said than done, I know!).<\/p>\n

If you are watching your calorie intake, then make sure your food is in the right size portion. This will help to ensure you don\u2019t over eat and add unnecessary calories.<\/p>\n

To effectively lose weight you need to monitor and plan every aspect of your eating habits.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t eat out or enjoy a meal \/ snack with friends. All it means is that you need to be a bit more aware of what you are actually consuming.<\/p>\n

The calories in certain items can have a far more significant impact on your weight loss efforts than you realize. Knowledge is power :) xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
