The 9 So-Called Superfoods That Can Cause Weight Gain

Trail mix

Whether you’re out on a trek or just at work, this snack is touted as one of the best superfoods out there. Loaded with nuts, chocolate, and dried fruit, it does deliver the health goods—with one big fat caveat: The calorie value of this snack is far higher than you might think. For example, a serving of Great Value Tropical Trail Mix from Walmart packs 120 calories. That’s high but not terrible until you realize this 26-ounce bag supposedly contains 25 servings. In other words, eat three or four handfuls and you could be downing nearly 500 calories—a meal’s worth—for an afternoon snack. Stick to the one-ounce serving. Try these delicious superfoods to boost your diet.
