Girl Scout Cookies - Diet Downfall?

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

Girl Scout cookiesIt may seem like those colorful boxes filled with sugary, chocolate-y and peanut-butter-y goodness should fall into that dangerous diet-derailer category, but a little investigation into the nutrition information reveals that not all Girl Scout cookies are created equal (and not all are to blame for the same kind of damage done to your waistline).

The folks at "Web MD" rounded up a list of the best and worst Girl Scout favorites. Here, two kinds that won't wreck your diet:

  • Reduced-Fat Daisy Go Rounds (1 package)
Why it's OK to eat 'em: At just 2 fat grams, 100 calories and 8 grams of sugar, you won't need to stretch out your workout to compensate.

  • Shortbread (4 cookies)
Why it's OK to eat 'em: Four cookies for just 120 calories and 4.5 grams of fat? We don't even feel like we're sacrificing. Plus, these babies are the lowest in sugar of the regular cookies.

For the full list, read the "Web MD" Girl-Scout-Cookies Survival Guide.
