Some foods that seem diet-friendly—like turkey burgers, granola, yogurt, and more—are shockingly high in calories and fat. Here's how to skirt six common fat traps.

Brace yourself for culture shock. Plain yogurt naturally contains about 16 grams of sugar per cup. But if you eat flavored yogurt, you could be downing 15 or more additional grams of sugar, which is like shoveling in four extra teaspoonfuls.
