Here's What to Choose When You're Faced With Two Tempting Options

Are you ready for a snackdown? That’s a snack smackdown – where we help you choose the most nutritious option between two treats. So here’s what to pick when you’re faced with two tempting options – according to the experts at Health.MSN.com.

  • What should you choose between a brownie and an ice cream sandwich? You’re not getting any nutritional value from either option, but your skinny jeans will still fit if you eat the ice cream sandwich. It has half the calories of a brownie and a quarter of the fat.
  • What about a frosted cupcake versus a cup of ice cream? Again, the ice cream wins. Despite its high fat rep, it has the same amount of fat as the cupcake – about 100 fewer calories and a serving of calcium.
  • Okay, need something savory? What about cheese crackers versus string cheese? Choose the cheese. The crackers have three times the calories as string cheese – plus the real cheese has calcium, protein, and it’s more filling.
  • Finally – if you’re trying to decide between a BLT and a grilled cheese sandwich – choose the BLT. Yes, the grilled cheese has healthy calcium – but the bread is most likely slathered in butter – and the sandwich has 12 more grams of fat and 120 more calories than the BLT. The BLT, despite the saturated fat in the B – or bacon, it provides fiber, vitamins and minerals in the L-T part, or lettuce and tomato.
