Quiz: Which Snack Is Better For You?
Do you know which option for breakfast, snack time or dessert has more calories? Take our quiz and find out how much you really know!
- Which is worse: Pancakes or French toast? The “worst” award goes to: French toast. Three slices of French toast - without butter and syrup - clock in at 450 calories. 200 MORE calories than the pancakes. To make your pancakes even healthier, grab a bag of frozen, unsweetened fruit, and melt it in the microwave. It’ll make a kind of syrup that’s only 19 calories per quarter cup. 10 times fewer calories than regular pancake syrup!
- Nacho-flavor tortilla chips or classic potato chips? Of course, neither one is very healthy, but the potato chips win the “worst” award. A one-ounce serving has 150 calories and 10 grams of fat. 10 more calories than tortilla chips, and 2 extra grams of fat.
- Brownies or blondies? Those deliciously dense chocolate chip cookie bars - blondies. They may be light on the chocolate, but blondies contain extra butter and sugar to deliver that delicious vanilla-y flavor. In fact, a two-inch square blondie contains 234 calories – twice the calories of a brownie! You can make them both a little healthier. Simply make your recipes with almonds instead of walnuts, egg whites instead of whole eggs, and applesauce instead of butter.
