(a Double Dog Dare)
Next time you're tempted to grab a comfort food off the shelf from your market or pantry, first turn the package over and read the calorie content. A 14-ounce bag of M&Ms has "just" 210 calories per serving...but the bag contains eight servings. 1,680 calories in the bag. Know how easy it is to suck down a a 14-ounce bag of M&Ms, one piece at a time, while it's sitting next to your computer? Sure, it may take you all day, and you feel like you've eaten nothing. In truth, you've consumed a day and half's worth of calories. (I strive for 1,100 a day.) Once you read that calorie content on the package, you'll want to put the whole thing back on the shelf and leave it there! "NUTRITION FACTS" = REALITY! Still want to open that bag?
