1. Veggie chips, puffs, or crisps Yes, they’ll deliver slightly more nutrients and fiber than plain ol’ potato chips. But don’t let yourself get seduced by the wholesome packaging: With loads of added starch, most of them still fall into the “nutritionally worthless” category. Plus, the salt, fat, and crunch makes them addictive, so you’ll probably end up eating the whole bag.
  2. Vegetable-infused waters Remember how everyone thought that Whole Foods’ asparagus water was a total joke? That’s how you should feel about any water that claims to be “infused” with vegetables. At best, it’s literally like drinking plain water. At worst, it’s diluted vegetable juice.3. “Wholesome” fruit and vegetable leathers They’re billed as better than conventional fruit-only leathers, but you know that you know better. These things are basically sugar delivery systems with, like, half an ounce of dehydrated vegetables thrown in to make you feel like a health genius. Don’t buy it.

  3. Frozen vegetable medleys with cheesy sauce If you wanna top steamed frozen broccoli with a little grated Parmesan or cheddar, go to town. But when you venture into pre-packaged frozen cheese sauce territory, you’ll likely start to run into loads of sodium, plus all kinds of weird thickeners, stabilizers, flavor additives, and who knows what else.  5. Tempura-style vegetables True, you’re still getting vegetables in their whole form. But when they’re battered in flour and deep-fried in who-knows-what kind of cheap oil, you just might be negating some of the health benefits. MORE: 10 Ways to Eat More Vegetables at Breakfast
  4. Ketchup Regardless of what the makers of that iconic brand might say about ketchup being a great source of lycopene, it’s still basically sugar sauce. A squirt or two on your burger isn’t gong to kill you, but a concoction made largely from high fructose corn syrup isn’t exactly equal to eating an actual tomato, either.  
  5. Carrot cake Because newsflash: It’s cake.
