We live in a health conscious and appearance-possessed world today.

Never before have we been more concerned about how thin we look or how our clothes fit.

This quest to achieve the ultimate body has also prompted us to make healthier eating choices. Or so we think.

Supermarkets are filled with aisle after aisle of products labelled 'low fat' or 'zero fat', but a quick read of the nutrition information on the flip side of these products shows that these foods could actually be labelled 'high sugar', 'high sodium' or 'absolutely fibre free'.

Marketing gimmicks and general misinformation have confused and frustrated us to the point of rethinking this so-called healthy lifestyle.

To help you, Get Ahead has compiled a list of ten foods that you might think form a part of your calorie-controlled diet, but which are not exactly 'low cal'. What's more, some of these are not even healthy for you
