2. French Fries

A classic of American culture, French fries are revered by many as a quick snack or a perfect side dish. However, they definitely don't stack up on a health level. Potatoes themselves have some nutritional benefits, but once you toss the slivered starches into sizzling oil, you're eradicating all those perks. Most fast-food fries are also dredged in salt after frying.

A serving of French fries contains around 17 grams of fat, and none of that is the healthy kind. It's best to keep this snack to a very occasional splurge, but that doesn't mean your homemade burgers and beer-battered fish has to ride the plate solo. Baked fries are just as delicious, or there are plenty of other side options that give you a bit more nutrition, such as coleslaw.
