Scarey Halloween Candy and it's Calories!!!!

By Diet-Depot-Newsletter

Candy...Oh so delicious candy!!

Treats for all the children on halloween...

How many of us adults have our hands in the trick or treat loot?

With the treats ending right in our mouths??

Here are a few things to remember when choosing which candy to eat...

Some candy claims to be fat free....But it still contains calories!!

You may read the words made with real fruit....

It is not a fruit subsitute!!

It actually contains just a small amount of fruit juice or fruit.

If a candy bar claims to be cholestrol free...

It may still contain saturated fats...

So read labels...

Here is a list of some popular candy that you may find in a trick or treat bag...

and the calories that it contains...

I have found the calories on the web through my searches. I have found that there is some differences of calories for the same candy on different sites.

This may be due to different sizes and weight of the same candy.

Be sure to check the size and weight of the candy...

Be sure to check servings for the candy bar or candy package...

Read labels to be accurate!
