Saltiest Bread Dunkin’ Donuts Salt Bagel 4,520 mg sodium, 320 calories, 62 g carbs This bagel is more like a giant salt-encrusted pretzel, delivering 188 percent of your recommended daily sodium intake. Quiznos Turkey Bacon Guacamole Large Sub with Cheese and Reduced-Fat Ranch Dressing 4,670 mg sodium, 1,120 calories, 49 g fat, 116 g carbs First, skip the large sandwich. At Quiznos, few come in under 1,000 calories and 3,000 mg sodium. Next, abandon mozzarella for Swiss, which has a tenth of the sodium. Finally, choose one of the low-calorie subs at Quiznos — the Tuscan Turkey, or better yet, the Honey Bourbon Chicken. 8. Saltiest Pizza Pizza Hut Meat Lover’s Stuffed Crust Pizza (3 slices of the 14” large) 5,070 mg sodium, 1,560 calories, 87 g fat, 114 g carbs A good rule of thumb: Never order a pizza with more than a single meat topping.

Some more useful helath & diet tips from Yahoo You don’t have to be smarter than a quiz show fifth-grader to learn how to control the urge to eat. Just follow these ingenious tips: 1. Feed it protein for breakfast. You’ll be less hungry later on and end up eating 267 fewer calories during the day.

For instance, Cornell University food psychologist Brian Wansink, PhD, keeps his favorite soda in a basement fridge. “Half the time I’m too lazy to run down there to get it, so I drink the water in the kitchen.” 3.
