Tomorrow is Halloween and for many that signals a free pass to partake in as much candy as one can stomach. Do you know what the two most popular nights are for pizza delivery in the U.S.? Well, the second is the Super Bowl. And now I imagine you can guess what the first is. Yes, that's right Halloween. So not only do we stuff our faces with tons of sugary candy, we eat pizza as an appetizer! Needless to say, not a great night for dieters or health aficionados.
Yet even during Halloween, we can take care not to sabotage our bodies with calories that can take months to burn off. A little bit of knowledge can go a long way to help with that. Here is a list of the top candies on Halloween and how much equals 100 calories. The packaged candies represent the typical "bite-sized" servings.
So pace yourself. If you do go over the top on this day, or any other for that matter, never have two days in a row of overindulgence. Watch your diet before and after any day when you know you may eat more than you should.
