Whoever said you couldn't have your cake and eat it, too, didn't realize that if you eat dessert after breakfast, you can lose more weight. This is because you feel less hungry and have fewer cravings throughout the day. Here are a number of other bad foods that are actually good for you:

1. Peanut Butter:

Peanut butter is high in fat, but eating it in moderation won't make you pack on the pounds. It contains folate, which helps in the development of new cells, and it provides protein. The best part is that you really don't need much to be satisfied.

2. Coffee:

Caffeine may be bad for you, but coffee has a lot of benefits. For example, it can boost your metabolism and protect from Alzheimer's disease, dementia and Parkinson's. It can also lower the risk of Type II diabetes.

3. Cheese:

Cheese is high in fat and calories, but there's good news. It can help strengthen your bones and teeth because it's also high in calcium. And it can kill diseased cells, which gives it cancer-fighting properties as well.

4. Avocados:

Avocados have gotten a bad rap for being high in fat. But it's the good kind of fat: monounsaturated fat, which is good for your heart. There is also a lot of vitamins, and it can even help with your vision.

5. Eggs:

An egg a day will not raise cholesterol levels, so even though yolks are blamed for heart disease, so eating them in moderation will be fine. Eggs have protein and vitamin D.

6. Salt:

Too much salt can cause heart attacks, strokes and kidney failures. But if you don't get enough salt, then your fluids won't be balanced, and salt helps muscles and the heart contract.
