8. Ranch salad dressing
These commercial salad dressings are actually packed with sodium, sugar, and saturated fat. However, the real problem is your serving size. “Most dressings use one or two tablespoons, smaller than the usual drizzle, as their serving size,” says Whiteson.
“These dressings can easily add up to an extra 300 calories per day if not more!” she says. Instead, Whiteson recommends topping greens with avocado, poached eggs, or marinated veggies and skipping the dressing altogether. “They’ll contribute heart-healthy fats without the additives and bloat-inducing salt,” she says.
