Granola
Often marketed as healthy, granola can be packed with sugar and oils. A small bowl can rival a dessert in calories.
Smoothies
Loaded with fruit and sugary add-ins, smoothies can become calorie bombs. Especially when store-bought or made with full-fat dairy.
Trail Mix
Nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate make trail mix calorie-dense. Even a handful can exceed 200-300 calories.
Avocado
Healthy fats, yes—but very calorie-rich. Just half an avocado has about 120-150 calories.
Peanut Butter
High in protein but also high in fat and calories. Two tablespoons can add 180-200 calories easily.
Salads with Dressing
Dressings, croutons, and cheese can turn your salad into a heavy meal. Watch those add-ons!
