Are You Choosing the Right Snacks?
I saw something fun online this morning called the Calorie IQ Test. It’s a short quiz that gives you a couple of snack choices at some favorite snack stops such as the mall, Starbucks, vending machines, etc. and asks you to pick the one with the fewest calories.
For instance, if you are at the movies, should you choose the medium popcorn (no butter), Twizzlers (6 oz bag) or chocolate covered raisins (3.5 oz bag).
Well, this one is kind of depressing, because the winner is the cholocate covered raisins, but those are 410 calories! How can that be the winner?
The popcorn came in at 900 calories and that’s without the butter! I think the best bet is to have a healthy dinner before you go to the movies and avoid the snacks altogether!
