Which candy bar is best to eat????

Best Chocolate Candy Bar

Eat This! Nestlé Crunch Bar
220 calories 
12 g fat (7 g saturated)
 24 g sugars
The Crunch bar has nearly half as much sugar as the 3 Musketeers.
Not That! 3 Musketeers
260 calories 
8 g fat (5 g saturated)
 40 g sugars
It's not the fat that does this bar in; it's the sugar. Forty grams is more than 2 Twinkies' worth - and it's nearly double the quantity you'll find in a Crunch Bar.

Best Breakable Candy Bar

Eat This! Kit Kat Bar
210 calories 
11 g fat (7 g saturated)
 22 g sugars
Spread the love. Just because there are 4 pieces in a package doesn't mean you need to eat them all yourself.

Not That! Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar
270 calories 
16 g fat (10 g saturated)
 31 g sugars
Bite-size piece might work for s'mores, but eat a whole bar as a snack and you just sacrificed half .

Here are some other great 100 calorie snacking options

Starbucks Tall Skinny Latte
Score your caffeine fix along with a hunger-crushing 10-gram shot of protein and about a third of your daily calcium needs.

Banana
Naturally prepackaged goodness you can take anywhere, with the added benefit of cramp-preventing potassium.

1/2 C Edamame (measured shelled)
Eating this protein-packed pick-me-up out of the shell will help make the snack last longer.

3 C Air-Popped Popcorn
Go ahead, nibble mindlessly as you zone out in front of Bravo. Even if you're watching trash, you won't be eating it.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal (regular flavor)
This speedy fiber- and protein-packed breakfast also makes for a warm, filling snack.

Yoplait Light Yogurt (fruit flavors)
This bone-building goodie provides 20 percent of your RDA for calcium and vitamin D.

9 Shrimp And 4 Tbsp Cocktail Sauce
The perfect appetizer--and no one at the table will know you're counting calories.

Sargento Light String Cheese Snacks
Any food you can play with is a great distraction; plus, the protein battles mid-afternoon hunger pangs.
