Snack Bar Caveats
Like going to the ballpark? Do you head to the snack bar while you're there? If you're a snack bar nosher, you might find the following interesting.
A single-serving tray of nachos with cheese sauce - common ball park fare - packs an average 600 calories and 30 grams of fat. Its 1,500 milligrams of sodium will also give you the total of your daily recommended intake, so if you have any popcorn later, you'd better ask the snack counter attendant to skip the salt!
On the topic of that popcorn, every cup of buttered popcorn contains approximately 90 calories and six grams of fat. A "jumbo" size serving can have you consuming up to 20 cups of the snack. You do the math.
Just a little "food for thought".

That's plain popcorn ... of course, there are many ways of making it better. My favourite is with carmel! Can't remember the last time I had that though ... I suppose if you're having the munchies, plain popcorn is the way to go.
I am so all about Nachos. I won't be anymore though. Since I have been sick since Christmas nonstop with pneumonia, my doctor banned me from the gym until only this week. The whole time I have been sick, I have been eating whatever I feel like but in moderation. Now that I am back, I have to make sure I don't fill my face with crap.
You killed the Nachos for me when you listed how much fat there was. Killed it.
