FRIGHTENINGLY FATTENING FALL FOODS Potpie Perils: When fall arrives, many of us turn to hearty foods, like creamy chicken potpie. One pie from the grocery freezer case can have more than 1,000 calories. For a fraction of the calories, try a flavorful roast chicken breast and a warm, whole wheat roll.Game-Day Grub: Favorites like chips, nachos, pizza, wings, and ribs can spoil your diet. If you’re a sports fan, you may also be glued to the couch for hours every week, so you’re not burning off the extra calories.•Serve veggies and low-fat dip as part of your spread.•Eat from a plate instead of grazing at the buffet. This helps you keep track of how much you’re eating.Halloween Candy: October brings bags of candy home to await trick-or-treaters. It’s easy to get bewitched by those bite-size candies. But few of us can have just one.•Stash sweets out of sight.•Satisfy your midday hunger pangs with something nutritious, like fruit.•If you crave something sweet, chew a piece of sugarless gum.Chubby Chili: You could get 500 calories in a bowl, depending on the recipe. The same goes for other meaty stews, which are often loaded with fatty beef or sausage and topped with gobs of cheese. Yet, chili and stew can be good choices when made right. Use small portions of lean meat, plenty of beans, vegetables, and spices, and just a sprinkle of low-fat cheese. In restaurants, check the calorie count before ordering.All Things in Moderation: All it takes is an extra 100 calories per day to pack on 10 pounds a year. The best strategy for your health is to avoid weight creep altogether by enjoying fall comfort foods in moderation.•Check your portion sizes.•Limit alcohol.•Eat plenty of veggies prepared without added fat or sugar.•Use low-fat cooking techniques and substitutions.•Put candy bowls out of sight.source: http://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-frighteningly-fattening-fall-foods?ecd=wnl_wlw_092315&ctr=wnl-wlw-092315_nsl-ld-stry&mb=c7aSwfQo7h%4051F68Y3Rr0ChonS%2fH3cwyY61VLOpTkMc%3d
