Even if you don't go trick-or-treating, it's hard to avoid Halloween candy this time of year. For those of us who aim to eat healthfully, there are three basic approaches to candy, Halloween candy in particular: You can abstain, which is easier said than done. You can carefully select treats that you can justify, choosing candies that are, lower in fat or calories than others, or take longer to eat. Or you can decide to enthusiastically indulge in what will truly satisfy your craving for candy, but do so in moderation and know when to quit. Choose a chocolate-rich candy bar or two, taking time to enjoy every morsel and making sure to accommodate the extra calories by cutting back elsewhere in your diet that day. But you might prefer to keep a sweet taste in your mouth for as much of the day as possible. If that's the case, non-chocolate treats, particularly chews and pops that last longer, would work better. Those candies typically list some form of sugar first; they also are usually lower in calories (and saturated fat), so you can allow yourself more of them throughout the day. Either enjoy some candy on Halloween and the day after, or budget 100 calories a day. If you trust yourself enough, you could even set aside some candy to dip into once a week for the next month. It is good to read the nutrition facts and ingredient lists for the candies you choose. One suggestion: Don't fool yourself into thinking those containing nuts or fruit are nutritious. Candy is candy and should play a limited role in your diet. It's best to devise your Halloween game plan ahead of time. Here's a guide to help you sort out your options. Chocolate candy When you eat chocolate, you're consuming fat and the extra calories fat imparts. Some bars’ first ingredient is milk chocolate and its second is peanuts. Other bars’ ingredient list starts with sugar, then wheat flour. (Allergy alert! People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease should read labels extra carefully. You'd be surprised how many candies contain wheat.) Not chocolate but still candy Non-chocolate treats are mostly gobs of sugar. But they're generally lower in fat and calories but we shouldn't depend on candy for our daily value of anything. Counting calories and fat grams takes some of the fun out of the holiday. But better to know more information so you can choose wisely. Otherwise you might just fall face first into that plastic jack-o-lantern and end up feeling crummy about your candy-bloated self when you finally come up for air. “Halloween Dinner & Dance” Main Building on Wednesday, October 29 10:30am – 2:30pm Music provided by Grant & Randy.
