You roll up to your favorite fast food joint and scan the menu for key words like salad, yogurt, grilled, and light, thinking you'll totally walk away with a healthy option, right?
Hate to break it to you-but those “healthy”-sounding terms don’t automatically make the order a winner.

But nutritionists are on to fast food chains' sneaky tricks, and they've shared the 26 most deceptively healthy menu items so you'll never order an accidental gut bomb again.
