To compile the list of the most caloric and ‘nutritionally devoid’ supermarket options from across the US, Zinczenko and Goulding spent hours interviewing leading nutritionists and industry experts, scouring grocery store aisles for surprising nutritional pitfalls.
“The average supermarket contains more nutritional minefields than ever before,” said Zinczenko, editorial director/editor-in-chief of Men’s Health. “Whether items are masquerading as healthy or the food is a more obvious indulgence, like Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie, with its first listed ingredients being chicken fat, oils, cream and cheese, careful consideration and proper research always produces a better swap.”
To come up with the 20 Worst Supermarket Foods in America, the authors evaluated calorie counts and other nutritional values such as fat, saturated fat, sodium and added sugar across 20 specific categories, including condiments, cereals, canned goods, frozen entrées, ice cream and others.
