3 Nutrition Myths Debunked

A dietician posted a list nutrition myths people still believe.

A dietician posted a list of the five biggest nutrition myths people still believe.  She says it seems like advice is always changing, and it’s hard to know what to believe.  The first is that eating healthy is expensive.   It can be if you lean on trendy smoothies and protein powders too much, but you don’t really need that stuff.   In general, just eat more fruits and vegetables.  Frozen is cheaper than fresh, but just as good.  Another one is that low-fat and fat-free options are better.  Fat makes you feel full longer.  Avoiding it can backfire and you just end up eating more.  Also, low-fat doesn’t  taste as good so manufacturers often compensate by adding more sugar.   And egg whites aren’t the only healthy part of the egg.   The whites do have less fat and fewer calories but the yolks have a ton of vitamins and minerals that egg whites don’t.
