Top 10 Deceptively Unhealthy Foods:
Wrap Sandwiches
These sandwiches can trick you into thinking you’re being healthier because the bread is thinner, but in reality, they are often made in a size that’s large enough for two people.
Try this instead: Have a sandwich on whole-grain or whole-wheat bread. Fill it with lean meats and plenty of fresh veggies.

How to Super Charge Your Morning Walk and Burn More Fat:
Drink a black coffee before you leave
If you want to burn more fat on your morning walk you should drink a cup of black coffee. Isn’t that great news? The bad news – you aren’t allowed to have any milk or sugar. Just coffee and water. Add anything else and you won’t get the benefit.
Brunch @ 11am
Corned beef and pickles sandwich (265 cal).
Dinner @ 8.30pm
Bowl of green curry chicken and vegetables with white rice.
