When it seems like it is almost impossible to meet our health and fitness goals, it is extremely important to understand what we are putting into our bodies to help us be more successful.

With a ton of options to indulge in daily, it is important to be mindful of trap foods that appear to be healthy. Some foods sound healthy, but they really aren't. Here are few that might fool you:
- Bran muffins. Most commercially-made ones contain 800 calories of sugar and fat. Read the label before you make your choice.
- Premade smoothies. They may have as much as 650 to 1000 calories from added fruit, sugars, and syrups. Make your own at home with soy milk or rice milk as the liquid instead of fruit juice.
- Frozen diet meals. It may look like a “lean” option, but they're also low in nutrients and loaded with sodium.
- Frozen yogurt. It contains less saturated fat than ice cream, but it makes up for it with calories, sugar, and toppings.
- Fat-free cookies and cakes. That doesn't mean “calorie-free.” Guess what? The fat is replaced by sugar!
In short, it is important to pay close attention to the nutritional facts/information on every single package of food that you and your family consume. Using this as a tool, it will be much easier to accomplish your annual fitness and health goals for you and your family.
