10 Foods People Eat at the Beach
Beef
High protein and fats found in beef make it harder for your body to digest, so it has to use more energy.
Deli Meats
Reconsider that deli sandwich for a beachside lunch. A standard serving of deli meat packs up to 790 milligrams of sodium
Doritos
Its recipe was specially designed so that no single flavor overpowers another. And when foods lack a dominant flavor, people are less apt to feel full—and, in turn
Coffee
"Coffee has been shown to promote the release of gastrin, which can increase colonic spike and motor activity."
Tea
Same with coffee; sipping tea excretes water and sodium in your body, leaving you dehydrated. But if you're one of those who absolutely need your caffeine fix
Frozen Drinks
It's a piña colada or a strawberry daiquiri, those fruity drinks offer zero nutritional value whatsoever. Instead,they're sugar bombs that will cause your energy levels to spike and crash
Corn

Dried Fruit
Dried fruit can be a great source of nutrients and fiber, but it can also be a musical fruit for those who suffer from fructose malabsorption
