I’m a nutritionist – there’s a Costco food product you have to avoid as it causes serious damage to your health
A NUTRITIONIST has revealed a Costco food product that should be avoided as it causes serious damage to your health.
Dr. Lisa Young, and Eat This Not That! Medical Expert Board member, has shared which item on the Costco Food Court menu she suggests shouldn’t be eaten.

If you do come across the menu item, a nutritionist is urging you to simply ‘skip it’[/caption]
Young says the cheeseburger, fry, and soda combo is the one thing shoppers should steer clear of if they want to stay healthy, according to Eat This, Not That! (ETNT).
Young’s main reasoning as to why the combo meal should be avoided is that it “contains nearly 1800 calories, enough for a full day.”
The Cheese Burger, Fry, and Soda combination from the Costco Food Court is listed to have 1740 calories, with 680 of those calories from fat.
“Most of those calories come from fat (42 percent) and carbohydrates (44 percent),” Fast Food Nutrition states on its website.
Young also notes that the combo meal is “loaded with fat, including saturated fat, and lots of sodium.”
“Plus, the soda contains lots of added sugar,” she adds.
The FDA suggests people achieve or maintain a healthy body weight, by “balancing the number of calories you eat and drink with the number of calories your body uses.”
“2,000 calories a day is used as a general guide for nutrition advice,” the FDA explains. “Your calorie needs may be higher or lower and vary depending on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity level.”

Although Young is urging people not to choose this menu item, ETNT notes that the combination meal is not largely available across the US.
So it seems like many shoppers won’t have to struggle with deciding on whether or not to purchase the unhealthy combo meal.
However, it is served in some Southern California locations, and in Iceland.
If you do come across the menu item, Young urges you to simply “skip it.”
Meanwhile, there are many other food options on Costco’s Food Court menu.
Other items could be hot dogs, chicken bake, hot turkey and provolone sandwiches, BBQ beef brisket sandwiches, chicken caesar salad, pizza, soda, smoothings, coffee, ice cream, nonfat yogurt, churros, and an ice cream bar.
Meanwhile, one content creator tasted three items from Costco’s food court – and one is perfect for a hangover.
And here are three healthy items you need to buy at Costco for as low as 67 cents.
MMA star Stevie Ray eyes double history as UK’s first world champ since Michael Bisping and only $1m PFL prize winner
STEVIE RAY is eyeing double history as Britain’s first MMA world champion since Michael Bisping – and only ever Professional Fighters League winner.
Manchester’s Bisping in 2016 cemented his place in history as the first from the UK to win UFC gold.

Scottish MMA Stevie Ray is out to win the $1m PFL season[/caption]

No one since has achieved the same in the UFC or any other major promotion across the world.
But Scotland’s Ray, in the semi-final of the PFL’s 2022 season, is ready to change that.
He faces Anthony Pettis – an ex-UFC champ – in a rematch on Saturday and a win puts him in the PFL finale fight, where $1million is up for grabs.
So for Ray, he has the chance to put himself next to Bisping in the history books, and do so $1m richer.

He told SunSport: “I think there’s only been one, and that’s Michael Bisping in terms of MMA world champion.
“Obviously, you’ve got some boxers that have won world titles, Josh Taylor being one, but in terms of MMA, there’s not any other ones.
“And the PFL are right up there with the UFC, even Anthony Pettis, he left the UFC on his own to go with PFL because they offered more money.
“Now I’m two fights away from not only the $1million, but also a legit world title. Confidence always comes from your work ethic, and I know my work ethic is second to none.

“I put in the work and I believe I deserve it, so I’m coming for it.”
The PFL consists of a two-bout regular season, where points are earned per method of victory, and the top four qualify for the semis.
Ray, 32, was beaten by Alex Martinez in his opener but stunned Pettis, 35, with a second-round submission in his second fight.
It earned him five points and secured a spot in the last four in New York, where he rematches Pettis right away.
The American was forced to tap out following a body triangle, suffering an injured rib in the process.
And with such a short turnaround, with little time to rest it, Ray feels he has not only a mental advanatage, but physical too.
He said: “I’m going to be in his head a little bit, as it was only five weeks ago I beat him.
“There’s pressure on him, I was the underdog in the fight and obviously got the win, he’s now fighting me again six weeks later.
“I’m feeling good, my body’s feeling good, I came out of that fight uninjured as well and was straight back to training.”
Ray added: “It will be the cartilage in his ribs, so it’s uncomfortable.
“I’m sure his ribs will be fine but it’s the training which is going to be affected.
“He would’ve had to have been careful when he started training again, all of this is psychological warfare.

“It’s going to be in his head a little bit that he hasn’t been able to train as hard as he normally does because of his rib injury.
“And while he’s doing that, the guy who beat him is training even harder. I’m coming in fitter, sharper and even better this fight.”
