My wife & I watch our weight closely. One thing we find we have to be very careful of is salt. It's in nearly everything in much too high amounts. We pretty-much cook our own meals & always purchase low-salt or no-salt added canned goods, etc. Anytime we go out to eat, which isn't often, we can both tell the next day we received a jolt of salt. I've read that people develop a taste for increasing amounts of salt in their food over time. And I believe it because we use very little salt at all & never miss it.
