This or That! Snacks

This or That is a segment that Mike and Juliet in the Morning where they show you a food item and then they give you the outrageous calorie and fat info. Next they show you a wonderful alternative.

This – 1 pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby Ice Cream – 1320 calories and 84 grams of fat
That - 22 Fudgesicles – 1320 calories and 33 gams of fat

This - 1 bakery cupcake – 780 calories and  36 grams of fat
That – 24 Hostess Mini Cupcakes – 792 calories and 24 grams of fat
(If you ate only 6 of these mini cupcakes you are saving over 500 calories)

This – 1 cinnamon roll/sticky bun –  846 calories and 30 grams of fat
(you would have to walk the mall for 3 hours to burn this off)
That – 8 slices of cinnamon toast with jam – 760 calories and 12 grams of fat

A great alternative to strawberry jam is to buy some frozen strawberries (w/ no added sugar), thaw them and drain off the liquid. For 1 tbsp of jame you can eat 2/3 cups of strawberries.

In no way are they suggesting that you eat ALL of the alternative. They are just showing us how much we could save in calories by choosing LESSER of the alternative and still satisfy the craving.
