How fattening is jelly?

[Greenish]

Im trying to drop a little weight but still want to include some sort of treat after the day at work.

Rather than ice cream or cake or pastry I have decided to put together a tupperware of haribo starmix and jelly bears to pick on. Am I right in thinking this is a sensiblr low fat treat that stacks up well against lardy alternatives?

I also wondered whether to just eat dark chocolate as I am led to believe plain choc is not all that bad.

Hello again. No I am not suggesting that jelly is healthy, just that it may be less unhealthy than a cheesecake, or a large bowl of ice cream.

I presume my question then is more one of which to avoid more, saturated fat or sugar?

My day's intake is fairly healthy but I do like a daily fix of some sort. I will typically have a bowl of cereal in the morning when I wake at 5am, a baguette around 830am, a salad based lunch with rice or cous cous and fish or chicken, then I do some cardio excercise in the afternoons followed by a god dinner in the evening. It is after dinner that my sweet tooth appears.

So, your having almost five meals day then? Cut out your second breakfast baguette and the evening pudding sesh and you should drop weight easily!

My cardio stint in a day will burn around 2000 cals, so with a normal diet of food my body is always hungry and desperate to fill the void this is why I need to take in some extra. its just the extra cals I need to control. never easy

Hello again

I am quite surprised at the amount of answers here.
Just to answer a previous response I do eat a fair amount in the day but am very active.
I base my calories and cardio on my workload in the afternoon. I work in a quarry as a site manager and usually spend around an hour a day shifting heavy masses from the machines to the loading and moving bay. This is all manual work.

Thanks
