How fattening is jelly?
Discussion
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.

Yes the fats will be low but the sugars will be through the roof. This won't help you IMHO and could even be counter productive - but an idea as to what you eat during a normal day (with no omissions) would be a start - do you have an idea as to what a typical day consists of?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.

Exactly this. Fresh fruit maybe?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.
