1. Slim Jim Original (1 oz)
150 calories, 13 g fat, (5 g saturated), 430 mg sodium, 6 g protein
There's nothing slim about this product. More than 75 percent of its calories are
derived from fat. By comparison, 75 percent of Jack Link's calories come from
protein.
2. Oreos (57 g, 1 package)
270 calories, 11 g fat, (3 g saturated), 23 g sugars
Serving size is king in the snack world. Add just one of these packages to your daily

6. Teddy Grahams Chocolate (28 g, 1 package)

Unlike an almond's slow-burning fuel, these are mostly blood-sugar-spiking flour.
1. Jujubes (40 g, 52 pieces)
110 calories, 0 g fat, 18 g sugars
Nearly every calorie on this page comes from sugar, so the key to mitigating the
damage is to find a candy that has less-concentrated sweetness. Jujubes, containing
about a third of a gram of sugar in each piece, qualifies as one of the better candy
bargains.
2. Smarties Candy Rolls (42 g, 6 rolls)
150 calories, 0 g fat, 36 g sugars
Use Smarties to quell a sweet tooth and you'll likely be satisfied by the time you finish
one roll. That's not too bad considering that each roll has only 25 calories.
3. Red Hots (34 g, 40 pieces)

70 calories, 1.5 g fat, (1 g saturated), 10 g sugars
Hard candies make for longer-lasting treats with fewer calories.
1. Mike and Ike Original Fruits (40 g, 23 pieces)
150 calories, 0 g fat, 23 g sugars
The problem with candy is that it's concentrated sugar with no fat, fiber, or protein to
slow its passage through your body. Plus the more you eat, the more you crave. That
puts pounds on your body, and over time, it puts you at risk for diabetes.
2. SweeTARTS (45 g, 39 pieces)
180 calories, 0 g fat, 36 g sugars
Few producers are capable of packing so many calories into so tiny a package. You
might as well eat 2 heaping spoonfuls of table sugar.
3. Hot Tamales (40 g, 20 pieces)
140 calories, 0 g fat, 25 g sugars
Advertised as "fat free," but nearly all candy is.

150 calories, 5 g fat (3 g saturated), 16 g sugars
The latest spin on M&M's trounces everything else in the candy co.'s sugary arsenal.
The original milk chocolate core has been replaced with pretzel, which is low in
calories by confectionary standards. As result, you trade in a boatload of sugar for a
satisfying cookie-like crunch.
2. Life Savers Gummies (40 g, 10 pieces)
130 calories, 0 g fat, 25 g sugars
The secret to the chew: gelatin. Starburst uses the same trick, but spoils it with a
strange mix of oils.
3. York Peppermint Pattie (39 g, 1 patty)
140 calories, 2.5 g fat, (1.5 g saturated), 25 g sugars
For a smaller treat, go with York Miniatures. You can have three for about the same
number of calories.

1. Milk Chocolate M&M's (48 g, 1 bag)
240 calories, 10 g fat, (6 g saturated), 31 g sugars
M&M's pack in a lot of sugar even by candy-bar standards. This little bag packs in
more sweetness than two Little Debbie Chocolate Marshmallow Pies.
2. Starburst Original Fruit Chews (40 g, 8 pieces)
160 calories, 3.5 g fat, (3 g saturated), 23 g sugars
The firmness of the chew owes to the third
