Salads can be a great, low-calorie food choice—or a major calorie bomb. Cold, creamy pasta salads may be one of the worst calorie offenders. Sbarro’s pasta primavera salad, for example, clocks in at 666 calories per serving and 17 grams of fat. “Plus, they’re typically made with refined (white) flour pasta, which lacks fiber,” says Dudash. Green salads can also ruin your bathing suit body if you overdo the toppings and dressing. “Many people load up on salad greens and then pile on the dressing,” says Dr. Quebbmann. Four tablespoons of dressing can have nearly 400 calories, mostly fat. Buy low-fat dressing or, if you make your own, substitute Greek yogurt for the mayo, he suggests.
