6 Junk Foods You Don’t Have to Feel Bad About Eating
This article is about all the crap that we’re not supposed to eat, that’s actually OK to eat. It’s not exactly a list of health food, but a lot of it is better than the alternatives.
Excerpt:
SOUR CREAM
Why you think it’s bad: You know 90 percent of its calories are derived from fat, at least half of which is saturated.
Why it’s not: The percentage of fat is high, but the total amount isn’t. Consider that a serving of sour cream is 2 tablespoons. That provides just 52 calories — half the amount that’s in a single tablespoon of mayonnaise — and less saturated fat than you’d get from drinking a 12-ounce glass of 2 percent reduced-fat milk.
Eat this: Full-fat sour cream. Unless you actually prefer the taste of light or fat-free products (and who does?), opt for the classic version; it tastes richer, and the fat will help keep you full longer.
I’m having Pork Rinds and a bottle of Pinot noir for dinner tonight.
Find out why, after the jump.
