Step away from the candy jar

Calorie counts of candyThe following is a post by guest blogger Chris Steinert, a copywriter with Via Christi Health. 

My co-worker Dan is a great guy. He’s friendly, he has a good sense of humor and—most importantly—the candy jar on his desk has a never-ending supply of fun-size goodness. But sometimes my need for a mid-afternoon sugar fix goes a little overboard, and suddenly I don’t like Dan so much anymore.

I know, I know. It’s not Dan’s fault. It just took a few bouts of excessive candy consumption to realize that if I knew just how much sugar, fat and calories I was taking in with each teeny-tiny treat, I might have a little more self-control.

So I went online and found out the calorie count for popular candy. I was shocked to say the least!

I hope this helps you choose your treats wisely. Happy snacking!
