They left out Zero Trans Fats, Diet, Light, Sugar free, Zero Calorie foods.
Zero Trans Fats - High in saturated fat and/or high in sodium/sugar e.g. Pringles
Diet/ Zero Calorie - Food/drink with tons of chemical additives, little to none nutritional value and fiber e.g. Diet cokes
Light - Most of the time they are small in proportion and packaging is filled with air making them low in calories in per serving. In reality you need to eat more of the light versions then you would eat the original versions.
Sugar free - Artificial sweetener. Many studies has shown they harm heath in the long run. Sugar free items can also be high in fat.
So what would be best to do is first read the ingredients and then the nutrition value values like carbs, sugar from carbs, fat - saturated fat , trans fat , sodium, protein , dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. then lastly calories.
Many processed low in nutrition foods these days are low in calories/fat/sugar tricks people thinking they are healthy, even when they contain artificial sugar, hydrogenated oil, white curbs. Healthy foods such as whole grains, raw nuts, fresh fruits are comparatively high in calories/fat/sugar then the processed foods but they they keep you fuller longer and not as addictive as processed ones. So ultimately you eat less calories in a day without feeling unsatisfied. Plus, they are highly nutrition dense, keeps you body healthy.
