4. Spam

One of the unhealthy proteins that people enjoy eating is definitely Spam. This canned meat is mostly made of ham but is not good for your health. People like it so much because it is versatile and convenient. There are many dishes prepared with Ppam, and some of them are rather spectacular in both taste and appearance.

Sadly, 2 ounces of original Spam have 790 milligrams of salt, 180 calories, and 6 grams of saturated fat in them. Based on a 2,000-calorie diet with the daily recommended maximums for saturated fat and salt, these 2 ounces mean 30% and 34% of those maximums.

This amount of salt, if consumed on a regular basis, can lead to heart problems, blood pressure problems, and strokes. If you still feel like you are craving this type of canned meat, you can choose the “safer” option, Spam Lite, which has lower levels of sodium and saturated fat.
