At the Movie Theater

The poll is in - let's see how well you did!

Question: What treats should you choose from at the movie theater?

You chose Twizzlers, Swedish Fish, Kit Kat and Junior Mints. Way to go you got 3 out of the 4 right.

Choose This:
Good and Plenty - 33 pieces (130 cal)
Junior Mints - 1/2 box (170 cal) Minty candies like Junior Mints and Peppermint Patties tend to be the best of chocolate choices.
Kit Kat Bar - Entire Bar (200 cal) Have some friends nearby? Break this bar and dole up the pieces. Just because there are four in a package doesn't mean you need to eat them all yourself.
Swedish Fish - 2 oz (200 cal) In the world of pure sugar candies, few are better than the fish from Sweden.

Not This:
Dots - 22 pieces (260 cal) They stick to your teeth just like they stick to your waistline. You're better off going for nearly any other gummy product besides these.
Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar - Entire Bar (210 cal)If you're going to each pure chocolate, you're better off picking up a bar with at least 65% cacao. That way, you lower your sugar intake while maximizing antioxidants.
M&M's - 1 bag (240 cal) A few generous handfuls of M&M's can wipe out a meal's worth of calories before you know it.
Twizzlers - 1/2 6-oz package (240 cal) These are nothing more than ropes of high-fructose corn syrup!

There is a facebook page for people who want Junior mints in more theaters for more low cal treats!
