I recently discovered a fascinating weight loss fact.The above Sweet and Salty bar has very healthy ingredients. It has a lot of fiber. It has protein. It is low in fat and has zero transfats. And it's quite tasty. It has 170 calories.
I need not describe what the Haagen-Daz Vanilla and Swiss Almond bar has to offer, right? It's to die for. It's the yummiest. I'm sure it's full of fat. But it's the snack size. I actually like the size because you don't have to feel quite so guilty about eating.
All right. Are you ready for the fascinating fact???
The Haagen-Daz bar is 175 calories!!!!! The granola bar is 170!!!!!!
Now, you might think that this comparison should make me realize that I should be careful about thinking that the granola bar is a healthy food that is fine to eat whenever I'm hungry.
NO. That is not what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking, "WHY AM I EATING THE GRANOLA BAR WHEN I CAN EAT THE HAAGEN-DAZ BAR FOR THE SAME NUMBER OF CALORIES?" (Maybe this is my problem. I'm always trying to see what I can get away with.....teehee)
Still, I'm so glad Haagen-Daz is making snack size portions. It IS good to know, don't you think?

Have you had Skinny Cows, Rosemary?
Good and only 140 calories...rather good side snack too! :)
I second the Skinny Cows (especially the fudge bars). Yum-o!

I'll have to try the Skinny cows. Still, 140 calories, I might still go for the Haagen Daz.
wow.... why waist time with granola!?!?!!
M for D, my thoughts, exactly.
LOL! Until surgery I would have come to the same conclusion -- but you know that all calories are not created equal!
Since surgery I have to make every single thing that goes into my mouth count -- protein first, fiber next, calcium and all the other GOOD stuff next. As yummy as it sounds, I wouldn't be able to justify the yummy ice cream. *SIGH* :-(

Actually, isn't the snack size the portion we should be eating as a regular serving size?
