00:00Four unexpected dinners to stop eating if you have a little stomach flab to lose.
00:06Oversized salads.
00:08Salads can quickly become high-calorie meals when loaded with fatty dressings and toppings.
00:13Dr. Perez warns that dressings like ranch or blue cheese, along with crispy chicken, bacon bits, and croutons, can add unhealthy fats and sugars.
00:22Even healthy fats like cheese, avocado, and nuts should be used in moderation.
00:27Pre-made wraps.
00:29Wraps may seem like a lighter option than sandwiches, but they often aren't.
00:34Dr. Perez notes that large-flour tortillas can contain more calories than multiple slices of bread and are often high in sodium, preservatives, and sugar.
00:42Fillings like fried chicken, creamy condiments, and excess cheese can add to the problem.
00:48Loaded turkey burgers.
00:50Turkey burgers are often seen as a healthy alternative, but their benefits depend on ingredients and preparation.
00:55Dr. Perez warns that prepackaged versions can be high in sodium and fillers, and unhealthy toppings like cheese, mayo, and large buns can add excess fat and refined carbs.
01:06Even homemade versions may include breadcrumbs, adding extra starch.
01:12Sushi rolls.
01:13Sushi can be healthy, but many popular rolls are high in calories and sodium.
01:18Dr. Perez explains that white rice often contains added sugar and vinegar, while sauces and fillings like mayo, cream cheese, and fried seafood add fat and calories.
01:27Excessive soy sauce also raises sodium intake, making portion control important.
