What’s your snack made of?

October 7, 2014 By Mindy

SnackI enjoyed a tootsie pop and decided to track it for my own accountability. Ate it, then looked it up…holy 15 carbs! It was “just” a sucker!

I had room and just let it be. A tootsie pop is no big deal and I’m not calling this “bad”, but spending 15 carbs on a tootsie pop is 8% of my day’s carb allotment. Some days it’s worth it and some days it’s not. Today I decided it was a sucker day!

But imagine if I had 4 randomly through the day. That adds up fast and would impact my plan! As we get closer to Halloween, I challenge you to look up the stats of your favorite treat just so you are fully aware of the reality of your choices.

Knowledge is power for your journey.

Know the facts of your habits, {preferably before you eat them!}…..and then you can decide if it’s a sucker day or not!

Interested in learning how to balance your nutrition?  I’d love to help!
