Have a Healthy and Happy Halloween!

J0382953 Happy Halloween!

If you didn’t see my previous blog, Halloween “Tricks” to Save Your Diet, now is the time. It has all the tricks you need to stay on track with your weight loss efforts this Halloween.

I recently came across another interesting website called “Evil Halloween Candy.” I don’t really agree that Halloween candy is evil but it certainly can sabotage healthy eating.

Those cute little candy packages seem rather innocent, but take a peek at some of the calorie counts. At  first glance they seem pretty reasonable. Surely they aren't that bad, are they?  It just depends on how many you consume. A few small indulgences can add up fast. Below are a few items from that website. Check out the calorie counts before you indulge. Find your own personal favorites by checking ND’s Nutrient Search Tool.

Peppermint Pattie - 1 pattie is 70 calories
Milky Way bar - 1 snack bar is 90 calories
M&M's - 2 snack bags is 180 calories

Have a happy and healthy Halloween everyone!
