Seemingly Healthy Foods To Avoid for a 6 Pack Abs

We have here a list of some foods that some of us may think healthy but if you are conscious about your figure, most especially of you are looking to have 6 pack abs, you should be conscious about eating these foods as well!

Half and Half. Most people enjoy their coffee in the morning, and there's a lot of people out there that put enough sugar and cream in the coffee to kill a small village. But not you, health-conscious person! You use half and half! But is it really as good as you think? For a little container of half and half, it's 20 calories. "What's wrong with that?" you ask. But think about it...8 oz of half and half is 160 calories, whereas 8 oz of skim milk is only 80 calories. If you're watching calories, this is a significant difference. My advice? Replace that half and half with a dash of skim milk.

Dried Fruit. While I admit that dried fruit is healthy (it's fruit, after all), they pack more calories than if you got them served fresh. For instance, 10 rings of dried apple is 156 calories; a regular apple is less than 100 calories. Half a cup of raisins is 219 calories; half a cup of regular grapes is 52 calories. If you LOVE your dried fruit and must indulge, do so in moderation!

Diet, microwaved meals. While many of these frozen meals offer yummy variety, quick cooking, and low-calories, the amount of salt they put in the dishes in order to preserve them on your grocery store shelf is deadly. Most meals clock in around 600 mg (or more) of salt in each meal! Holy smokes! You'll be so bloated it'll be a shock if you can squeeze your butt out of the cafeteria chair after that. Steer clear, my friends.

Wraps. Many people opt for wraps instead of regular bread when enjoying a sandwich. The problem with wraps is that there's more surface area to them than regular bread, so you can pile more food in the middle. Case in point: A Honey Baked Ham Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap has 705 calories. Red Robin's Caesar Chicken Wrap has 1244 calories. A Ruby Tuesday Turkey Burger Wrap has 658 calories. None of those are diet-friendly choices. If you really feel like indulging in a sandwich, why not wrap the outside with a big hunk of lettuce?
