March 8, 2022 5:00AM CST
Frozen foods are great in a pinch, but here are a few you might want to avoid. A nutritionist ranked the UNHEALTHIEST things that might be sitting in your freezer right now. Here are the top 7:
- TV dinners. They’re usually light on vegetables and loaded with salt. So look for low-sodium versions with lots of veggies.
- Frozen pizzas. Most of them are loaded with salt and saturated fat. In general, thin-crust is better than thick. And you should opt for veggie pizzas instead of things like pepperoni and sausage. Hot Pockets and pizza rolls also made the list.
- Frozen pot pies. They taste good for a reason. They’re one of the highest-calorie and highest-fat options in the freezer aisle.
- Corn dogs. You know that hot dogs aren’t healthy. So obviously wrapping one in sugary batter doesn’t help.
- Frozen French fries. They’re not much better for you than the ones you get at the drive-thru.
- Sweet-and-sour chicken. There’s a ton of added sugar.
- Frozen toaster pastries. Meaning things like Toaster Strudel that are basically straight sugar. Same goes for most frozen baked goods, like cinnamon rolls and Waffles.
