Halloween Tricks or Treats?

      Today is Halloween which means costumes, tricks, and of course TREATS! I know its hard to resist all the candy that's literally being given to you at each door. Especially when going out trick our treating with small children, there is bound to be tons of candy in the house at the end of the night! The 'trick' to being healthy even on Halloween is all about portion control. It's okay to nibble on a few of your favorite pieces, but remember to try to eat the candy that is already wrapped in portions. This will make it easier to stay away from all the candy, and you can have a simple portion and feel satisfied.
     The worst candy to avoid on Halloween is... CANDY CORN! I know that is a lot of people's favorites but with 140 calories and 28 grams of sugar per 22 piece serving its not really worth it. The amount of sugar candy corn has gives your  body a sugar boost which makes you want more! Sugar is like a drug in ways that it changes the chemicals in your brain causing cravings. STAY AWAY! The best cansy to eat during Halloween is the Three Musketeers Fun-Size Bars. One serving is three bars, with 190 calories, 6 grams of fat, 4 grams saturated fat, and 30 grams of sugar. These will give you the best satisfaction because you get to have more than one, and its also the best in calorie count for the amount you get! THUMBS UP!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
