• Weight loss is achieved by consuming fewer calories than the body needs; a calorie surplus leads to weight gain.
• Sneaky high-calorie foods include nut butters, olive oil, granola, trail mix, and many protein bars.
• Smoothies and coffee add-ins can also significantly increase calorie intake without being easily noticed.
• The key is awareness and accounting for these foods, rather than avoiding them entirely, to achieve fat loss.

Why It Matters: Be aware of hidden calories in seemingly healthy foods to achieve effective weight loss through calorie deficit.
