DO YOU KNOW...

Which has fewer calories: a bottle of Bud or a glass of white wine?
Beer contains 147 calories for 12 fl oz.. White wine has 70 calories for 3.5 fl. oz. You will probably drink less wine, but ounce for ounce it has more calories (238 calories for 12 fl. oz). Go ahead and have your beer (110 calories for 12 fl. oz.)!

Where's your chalupa...when it comes to calories?
It's going to be on your hips! One chalupa averages about 400 calories. If you have a Mexican food craving, switch to tacos, which average around 200 calories and cut your intake in half!

Should you get pepperoni on that pizza?
It adds about 50 calories per slice. You be the judge.

Baking a potato? Which has more calories, white or sweet?
Surprise! A white potato baked with the skin, no toppings, equals 220 calories. A baked sweet potato is just 117 calories. But watch out what you add! Butter is 36 calories per pat, and worse, a baked potato with broccoli and cheese is 470!
