Potatoes are high in starch and carbohydrates and might be the most problematic for weight-watchers. Though high in potassium and vitamin C, a medium-sized potato has around 110 calories. When fried, like french fries, they are even worse and if you add mayonnaise, you are basically stuffing yourself with calories since 100 grams of mayo contains around 600 calories!
2. Bananas
If taken in moderation, bananas are good for you because they contain potassium, essential vitamins and dietary fiber. However, one medium-sized banana contains 105 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrates.
3. Avocados
The health benefits of avocados are numerous, but these fruits are high in monounsaturated fats. Though these are ‘good fats’ that help reduce cholesterol, they are fats nonetheless. A medium-sized avocado contains 276 calories and 27.6 grams of fat.
4. Dates
Dates are rich in iron and dietary fiber, but eating a lot of them will lead to weight gain as 70 per cent of their weight comes from sugar. CalorieKing suggests that there are 66 calories in a single date, so avoid eating a bunch of them if you’re trying to lose weight.
5. Mangoes
Every Pakistani loves mangoes, but those wanting to lose weight should cut down on the delicious fruit. Mangoes, like all fruits, are rich in nutrients. They contain fiber, vitamin C and important minerals, but they also contain sugars and carbohydrates. There are about 135 calories, 31 grams of sugar and 35 grams of carbohydrates in one mango
