I promise.īalance and moderation are your two best friends, always.įor those reasons: yes, you can eat candy and still be perfectly healthy. When you look at the big picture of your overall health, it’s not going to negatively affect you in the slightest. The candy you snack on is only a tiny portion of a single day. But I also love candy, and you bet your candy-loving butt that I’m going to continue to enjoy those sometimes, too! You’re allowed to eat food that doesn’t directly impact your goals.

If you’re presented with blueberries or Sour Patch Kids, it’s probably pretty easy to identify which option is “better.” Nobody is turning to Halloween candy for the health benefits, after all.īut if that’s all we thought about every single time we chose a snack, our diets (and our lives) would be BORING. I say it all the time, but I’m gonna repeat it in case you’re new here…Įvery food choice you make does not need to be in the pursuit of perfect health. No, a candy bar is not going to nourish you with micronutrients and help you hit your protein goals.īut it’s convenient, delicious, and it’s going to make you happy. They’re convenient, high in protein and fiber, and contain minimal ingredients.īut sometimes candy bars are also a great choice. Protein bars (generally speaking) are a great snack to take with you on the go. You don’t always need to choose the “best” option Your approach should always be balanced, which is why I am such a major advocate for flexible dieting. It should never be “eat this, not that.” It should be “eat this sometimes, and that other times.” Sometimes you just want a candy bar, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In that sense, a candy bar might not be considered “healthy” at all.īut just because you eat food that isn’t traditionally considered healthy, that doesn’t mean that YOU are unhealthy. When we think of candy bars, we think of high sugar, high calories, and very little nutritional benefit. Let’s break down the nutrition facts of various candy bars and sort through most of the popular options out there to figure out which ones may be considered the healthiest for our own diets. I mean, it’s candy after all.īut, that doesn’t mean that it’s not helpful to know the differences! I always find it beneficial to know what I’m consuming, even if I’m not counting my calories or watching my weight. Now, let’s be clear: if you’re going to eat a candy bar, the odds are that you’re not too concerned with how healthy it actually is. Why? Well, because we all define “healthy” in our own unique ways!įor you, healthy might mean low calorie, but to another person, it may mean minimal ingredients or high-protein. Much like donuts or fast food, that’s an impossible question to answer. What is actually the healthiest candy bar?
