So here we are, the ghouls and goblins are out, but Halloween is more than just tricking and treating for the kids, Halloween marks the beginning of festive eating, with Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, November 22, 2018 we sit on a short 3 weeks before fighting the temptation of indulgence. From eggnog, to 202 calories from one cup of stuffing, and let’s not forget the pumpkin pie (316 calories a slice) and apple pie ringing in at a whopping (411 calories).
Halloween is more than just little devils and princesses running around, it’s the day we welcome in the eating season. Ever wondered how many calories pack themselves in those little innocent looking treats ? The calorie count would amaze you, especially since we don’t eat just one, well I didn’t as a kid, and remembered getting some help from my brother, sister and the folks. I know a lot of parents out there are looking forward to “inspecting” your child’s new found candy wealth. So here it is, don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
Those little wrapped (squared) candy bars can pack as many as 90 calories a serving, eat 5 pieces and you are sitting around 450 calories. Check out the list below.
TIP: Limit the number of pieces your child can have, let them pick their favorite 3 pieces each day. Assuming your child bags a minimum 100 pieces of candy, that ration is good to last a month. For those kids (PARENTS UNCLUDED) who HIT THE JACKPOT! stay disciplined! and when you feel the urge to cheat, just think about you and your child’s dental visit and the bill that follows.
