“You can fool yourself into thinking those ‘fun size’ packages are small, so you can eat a lot of them,” says Amy Keating, R.D., a CR nutritionist. But calories and added sugars can add up fast
To help you keep your consumption in check, we calculated the exact amount of 22 trick-or-treat favorites you can eat without exceeding 100 calories.
Use this visual guide to keep tabs on how much you’re eating—and on days when you do indulge, try to limit other sugary foods, Keating says, because you get from 2 to 5 teaspoons of added sugars in 100 calories of these sweet treats. (The American Heart Association recommends that women get no more than 6 teaspoons, or 25 grams, of added sugars a day. The daily limit for men is 9 teaspoons, or 36 grams.)
