Whether you're a nutrition whiz or clueless about total calories or grams of this 'n that, Fitness magazine has a fun calorie quiz for you. Trust me, it's tough to score 100 percent on this one. Here are three zingers that fooled me:Which breakfast has the most calories?
- Ham, egg and cheddar on an English muffin
- An oat-bran muffin
- A bowl of yogurt, berries and granola
- Oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of tropical trail mix
- 1 oz serving of vegetable chips
- 30 chocolate-covered raisins
- 1/2 cup of Edy's Slow-Churned Rich and Creamy Chocolate Fudge Chunk Ice Cream
- 475
- 340
- 200
- 180
I chose the English muffin sandwich, the chocolate raisins and 340 calories -- wrong. It's actually the oat-bran muffin (454 calories and 12 grams of fat), those innocent veggie chips (150 calories and 9 grams of fat) and 200 calories of drinks per day. How'd you do?
