Foods that are high in fat and sugar are high in calories. Also, higher fat foods are often higher in saturated and trans fats. These kinds of fats put people at higher risk for heart disease.
Most people get more salt (sodium) than they need, especially if they eat packaged, processed foods and meals made outside of the home.

14. Carbohydrates generally provide the energy for daily activities
Carbohydrates generally provide the energy for daily activities. Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. The more complex the carbohydrate, the longer the energy will last since it takes longer to get the energy from the nutrient.
The protein builds the muscle and bones necessary to make a body grow and repair.
Fats and lipids provide a way for the body to absorb vitamins and minerals. They also provide warmth and insulation. Another benefit is that they keep the skin healthy. Fats are also a way the body stores extra energy.

15. Tips for Eating At a Restaurant
Most restaurant portions are way larger than the average serving of food at home. Ask for half portions, share an entrée with a friend, or take half of your dish home.
Here are some other restaurant survival tips:
Ask for sauces and salad dressings on the side and use them sparingly.
Use salsa and mustard instead of mayonnaise or oil.
Ask for olive or canola oil instead of butter, margarine, or shortening.
Use nonfat or lowfat milk instead of whole milk or cream.
Order baked, broiled, or grilled (not fried) lean meats including turkey, chicken, seafood, or sirloin steak.
Salads and vegetables make healthier side dishes than french fries. Use a small amount of sour cream instead of butter if you order a baked potato.
Choose fresh fruit instead of sugary, high-fat desserts
