In the big picture of weight loss, it’s not what we do every now and then on vacation that determines our weight. It is the eating and drinking habits week in and week out that determine our weight. That said, if you’re not careful, you can eat/drink a lot of calories in one day, which turns into weeks of too many calories during the holidays, starting with Halloween.
The key is to plan and know what you are eating? Candy can be confusing because of the different snack sizes. It’s easy to assume that since you’re eating smaller sweets that this isn’t such a big deal, but this is only true if you don’t eat too many pieces!
Before you eat candy, so how many calories you eat – it takes no time to google the calorie, sugar and fat content for Halloween candy.
Here are some examples:
Nestle’s Crunch Bar (60 calories) – 6 minutes of brisk aerobic exercise to burn!
Kit Kat Bar (70 calories) – 8 minutes of brisk aerobic exercise to burn!
4 Snickers Mini Bars (170 calories) – 18 minutes of intense workout to burn!
Full Size Twix Bar (80 Calories) – 6 Minutes of Continuous Kettlebell Swings to Burn!
4.2 Oz Candy Corn (450 calories) – 4 – 5 miles of walking to burn!
2 Peanut Butter Cups (210 calories) – 2 miles of running to burn off!
So eating a little candy is no problem, but if you don’t pay attention to how many pieces you eat, you can quickly accumulate a lot of calories that will require hours of intense exercise to burn them off!
Plan your sweets intake and know what you are going to eat and enjoy it! The other key is to eat sweets after a meal so you aren’t actually hungry; sweets and hunger are a very bad combination.
