Which ballgame snack will satisfy hunger for fewer calories?
Take me out to the ballgame! These two foods seem to go hand-in-hand with baseball (and other sporting events). If you’re hungry, and the game has no end in site, which snack will defeat your hunger for less?
WINNER>>>
A large hot dog has about 365 calories, compared with 420 calories in just one bag of Cracker Jacks. Although the hotdog has fewer calories, it also contains more than 3 times the fat (23.5 grams), 45% of your daily limit of saturated fat, and almost 5 times the sodium (1,150 mg) compared to the caramel popcorn. Because the hot dog contains a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, it’ll likely fill you up longer than a sugary snack like Cracker Jacks. But for your health, don’t make it a staple of your diet.
