🍿 Popcorn, Peanuts, Seeds & Related Snacks
Snacks like popcorn, peanuts, and seeds can be a smart part of a balanced diet — or a significant source of hidden calories depending on how they are prepared and portioned. Air-popped popcorn is one of the lowest-calorie snack options available at around 30 calories per cup. Portion size is the key factor with this category.
🍬 Candy
Candy is one of the most calorie-dense food categories, typically high in sugar and low in nutritional value. A single serving of most candy ranges from 100 to 250 calories. Knowing exactly what is in your favourite treat allows you to enjoy it mindfully and fit it into your daily calorie budget.
🧀 Cheese
Cheese is a nutrient-dense food that provides significant amounts of calcium, protein, and fat in a small serving. Calorie counts vary considerably across varieties — a one-ounce serving of cheddar contains around 115 calories, while lower-fat options like cottage cheese are considerably lighter. Cheese is also a notable source of calcium.
🍱 Frozen Dinners & Entrees
Frozen dinners vary enormously in their nutritional profile. Some offer a complete meal at 300–400 calories, while others can exceed 800 calories and contain very high levels of sodium. When choosing a frozen dinner, calories, sodium, and protein content are the three most important figures to check.
