8 Foods That Fatten The Belly

These are foods you need to avoid or minimize, because they will give you belly fat. Much of it will make you lose your shape, and also predispose you to various kinds of diseases. 

1. Doughnuts: They can really bulk up your belly if you take them too often. A glazed doughnut has as much as 260 calories. 

2. Ice Cream: You do get some protein and calcium from ice cream. But you also get 230 calories per half-cup, and that's just for plain vanilla, no toppings. 

3. Chips: A serving of 15 chips has 160 calories. Huge! 

4. Beer: The average 33cl can of beer has about 150 calories. Those calories add up, just like anything else you eat or drink. 

5. Hot Dogs: One cheese dog has 390 calories and 8 grams of "bad" fat. 

6. Fatty Red Meat: A 300grams of this can have more than 1,000 calories and 37 grams of "bad" fat. That’s huge! 

7. Meat-Topped Pizza: Pizza can be healthy. But if you like toppings such as pepperoni, sausage, ham, and beef, you could get more than 300 calories in one slice. 

8. Burgers: If it looks big and loaded, it will bloat your calorie budget, too. Some have more than 1,000 calories and up to 75 grams of fat.
