Busy office workers often grab breakfast on the street and prepare some snacks, but when choosing food, be sure to avoid the following types of high-sugar foods.
Street-side Soy Milk
In reality, this soy milk won't provide much nutrition and will make you gain weight. Soy milk is a healthy and nutritious breakfast, but the normal process for making soy milk is to use 1 kg of soybeans to 4 kg of water. Small workshops, however, use 1 kg of soybeans to 10 kg of water. The diluted soy milk produced this way is almost indistinguishable from plain water. To improve the taste, they are bound to add a large amount of sugar. The faint bean flavor and sweet taste become a killer for your figure.
Canned Coffee
Black coffee contains almost no calories, but flavored coffee has a large amount of added sugar and creamer, which are high-calorie killers for your figure. The creamer added to coffee is not milk; it not only lacks the nutrients of milk but is also a saturated fat that can raise your cholesterol. Drinking one 240ml can a day adds 127 calories, which can lead to a 6kg weight gain in a year.
Yogurt
Yogurt itself is a healthy food with many natural oligosaccharides and probiotics that are good for intestinal health. However, it should be noted that when yogurt is marketed as low-fat, sugar is often added to compensate for the sweetness and taste. The sugar content in one serving of yogurt can be equivalent to 5 chocolate cookies.
Ketchup
Just one teaspoon of ketchup contains 4 grams of sugar. When eating french fries or fried chicken, pouring on so much ketchup, and some people even have the habit of mixing in extra sugar packets with it, let's not mention how scary the sugar content is.
Raisins
Dehydrated fruit, like raisins, mostly contains the natural sugar from grapes. However, some factories add extra sugar to dehydrated fruits that are too astringent to improve the taste and flavor. Raisins are like snacks and can be added to many dishes, so it's easy to eat a lot of them without realizing it, and they are also high in calories. The sugar content in one cup (170g) is already higher than that of a McDonald's McFlurry (84.81g).
