1 Artery Crust.

Judging by the label, Pepperidge Farm Original Flaky Crust Roasted Chicken Pot Pie has 510 calories and 9 grams of saturated fat. But look again. Those numbers are for half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as most people probably do, and you’re talking more than 1,000 calories and 18 grams of sat fat. Then add the 13 grams of hidden trans fat (from the partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening) in each pie and you’re up to 31 grams of artery-clogging fat — that’s far more than a day’s allotment.

2 Strip Tease.

The new McDonald’s Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips, made of “premium-quality, 100 percent white chicken breast meat, seasoned and lightly breaded” sounds healthy. In fact, ounce for ounce, the Selects are no healthier than the chain’s Chicken McNuggets. A standard, five-strip order has 630 calories and 11 grams of artery-clogging fat. That’s about the same as a Big Mac, except the burger has 1,010 mg of sodium, while the Selects hit 1,550 mg, without the salty sauce.

3 Factory Reject.

Each slice of The Cheesecake Factory’s 6 Carb Original Cheesecake has 610 calories – that’s only 20 calories less than you’d get from a slice of their Original Cheesecake. Think of it as an 8-ounce prime rib for dessert – with 29 grams of saturated fat, 11/2 days’ supply. The next time you step on the bathroom scale, you may never know that the carbs were missing.

4 Discomfort Food.

“Back in 1948, Marie Callender put love and care into every meal she made,” says the box. “Today, each meal is still made with the care of Marie.” Marie’s “care” may still be there, but the love has gone cold. Take Marie Callender’s Herb Roasted Chicken with Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli Florets & Carrots. You’d never guess that the “Complete Dinner” has 530 calories, 12 grams of saturated fat, and 1,270 mg of sodium. Marie manages to add enough butter and heavy whipping cream to turn a roasted chicken meal into a Big Mac.

5 Out in Left Field.

No one expects a Mrs. Fields cookie to be good for you, but who would guess that a single Mrs. Fields Milk Chocolate & Walnuts cookie has more than 300 calories and as much saturated fat as a 12-ounce sirloin steak? It’s also got six teaspoons of sugar. If you can’t resist Mrs. Fields, share the smallest bag of Nibblers (six half-ounce cookies) with a friend. Or walk a few feet and look for a piece of fruit at another store instead.

    Ick. Thanks for the heads up. Another reason I try to stay away from processed foods.
