Which is Better?

Return to main article

M&M's Peanut Chocolate Candies vs. M&M's Almond Chocolate Candies
The almonds just edge out the peanuts since they're slightly lower in calories (200 vs. 250) and have less saturated fat (3.5 grams vs. 5 grams). Both are way better than plain M&M's.

Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers (Cheddar Flavor) vs. Chex Mix
Both have 210 calories, but go for the Goldfish, which have far less sodium (360 milligrams vs. 620 milligrams) and a tad more protein (5 grams vs. 4 grams).

Fig Newtons vs. SnackWells Creme Sandwich Cookies
The 2-oz. Fig Newtons are a better choice because they have fewer calories and less fat than the 1.7-oz. cookies—even though they also have more sugar.

Dipsy Doodles (Wavy Corn Chips) vs. Ridgies Sour Cream & Onion (Ridged Potato Chips)
Pick the potato chips for fewer calories and less fat. The corn in most corn chips is so processed that the whole-grain benefits are all but wiped out.
