5. Low-Fat Loading
Low fat foods are a great addition to any diet. Keep in mind that low-fat doesn’t mean low-calorie. A small piece of cake may contain more calories than a large slice. The best way to know how many calories and fat you consume is to check the nutrition label.
6. Drinking Too Many Calories
We often overlook drinks when we count calories. This is a mistake when you consider that many coffees or alcohol drinks contain over 500 calories. Fruit juices and soft drinks can add up quickly.
