Rice Cakes - They are supposed to be your healthy snack but with a high GI index there raise your blood sugar levels making you hungry sooner and not filling you up. Swap them for oatcakes to give you a slow release source of carbohydrates to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Cereal bars - Most of these are full of sugar and fat and not even the good kinds of fat. Swapping these for a piece of fruit like an apple will fill you up a lot more with its fibre and give you plenty of vitamins.
Fruit Juice - For those trying to lose weight this is a definate no. Fruit is good for you but fruit juice is full of sugar and will cause weight gain around your midriff. Fruit juice has also been found to contain more sugar than the actual fruit does itself.
Salad Dressing - Containing plenty of saturated fats and empty calories make your salad healthier with a little drizzle of olive oil or just enjoy it by itself to make sure your post meal isn't undoing your hard effort put into your gym sessions.
