Salad sauce, thousand island sauce and mayonnaise commonly used in "light food" are all high in calories. For example, the fat content of salad dressing is generally 40%~60%, and the highest mayonnaise can reach 80%. Some high-fat and high-calorie foods may also be smuggled into the "light food" package by the store, such as French fries, fried spring rolls, egg tarts, milk lids, cupcakes and shortcakes.

Although many homemade "healthy" drinks and desserts contain fruits, vegetables and potatoes, they actually contain a lot of sugar and calories, which may be detrimental to weight control. Many fast food restaurants improve their taste by adding salt, especially the so-called healthy "light food". One meal may consume more than 75% of the recommended daily sodium.
