- Dried Fruits, Trail Mixes, Bars and Powders — both of these are touted as high -
calorie, dense sources of energy, but upon inspection of the nutrition facts or ingredients on most such mixes, you'll find oodles of
added vegetable oils, sugars, preservatives, and chemicals — making these snacks more likely to give you a gut
bomb or extra inflammation than they are to provide lasting energy.
Some of the beverages such as tea and coffee have no
calories but different recipes that
add other ingredients can significantly increase
calories and turn your cup of coffee into a sugar
bomb.
