The Rules for Eating Junk Food

By , Toby Amidor, M.S., R.D., FitStudio.com

This is not a campaign to encourage you to stop eating junk food. A little bad is good—the keyword being little.

Here are some other tips to help you indulge without doing in your diet.




 

  1. Choose Wisely. Chocolate, candy, and other sweets contain empty calories that can translate into high amounts of fat, sugar, salt and not many vitamins or minerals. Instead of splurging on everything, opt for one of your favorites. You don’t have to eat everything you love in one day.
     
  2. Reasonable Portions. Be mindful of the serving size of your treat. Many junk foods come in mini, prepackaged portions. Aim for no more than 200 calories.
