Carving a pumpkin is slimy business. But that lopsided jack-o-lantern and scent of hot, roasted pumpkin seeds are worth the mess.

The fall season is immersed in seeds and nuts -- late-season major leaguers are packing cheeks with sunflower seeds and greats aunt everywhere are placing bowls of nuts on the table when you come over.

If this time a year your favorite seeds are roasted fresh from a pumpkin, have you ever considered their calorie count? Especially if you find yourself snacking from a big batch several days post-carving.

How many calories in one cup of whole, roasted pumpkin seeds?

Apple-picking season is in full swing, which means you're likely staring at a quarter bushel of apples sitting in the fridge. You could make applesauce, but wouldn't homemade apple pie be more fun? Time to polish up on your crust-making skills now, instead of on Thanksgiving Day.

But everyone knows pie isn't exactly healthy. Fresh apples aside, common ingredients call for thigh-clinging butter, sugar, flour and shortening. A perfect storm for irresistible weight gain, and exactly why pie leftovers never get lost in the back of the fridge.

If you're into nutrition, you're aware brown rice is superior to white rice. The main difference is fiber. A cup of white rice has less than 1 gram of fiber, while a cup of long-grain brown rice is loaded with 3.5 grams. You can make brown rice a quick and easy side dish by steaming, then lightly seasoning it yourself. Or maybe it's front and center anchor to a tasty stir fry.

Brown rice has way more nutrients, too, including vitamin E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and over a dozen others. Green Living Tips also reminds us brown rice is better for the environment, as less energy is required to bring a scoop onto your plate. OK, while this all sounds pretty terrific, how many calories are there in one cup of cooked, long-grain brown rice?

Energy drinks are undeniably the rage. Some swallow liquid energy in the morning, for an afternoon pick-up or at the bars. Pre-teens are slapping down allowance for Monsters when their moms aren't looking. They'd better score cans while they can -- two major retail chains in Sweden just banned the sale of Red Bull and other energy drinks to youth under 15, heeding the advice of school administrators warning of hyperactive, addicted students.

Energy drinks may deliver a controversial zip, but are they also zapping you with major calories? Let's take a look at the little blue and silver special with dueling bulls. How many calories in a can of Red Bull?

You shouldn't grocery shop when hungry. Same goes at the mall. But what if you're mall-starving and suddenly face-to-face with an Auntie Anne's pretzel stand? Even if you're counting calories, the scent of baking pretzels and a growling stomach are a powerful duo to ignore.

Logic tells you pretzels must be a healthier mall snack than ice cream or a grande frappuccino with whip on top. So, how many calories in an Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel?

With several flavors to choose from -- Almond, Cinnamon, Garlic, Jalapeno, Original, Pepperoni, Raisin, Sesame and Sour Cream & Onion -- it's a mind-twisting choice. Here are a few insights to make it easier.

Did your mom cut the crusts off your sandwiches when you were a kid? Sandwich bones, pizza bones -- some of us don't like the edge of things. Going crust-free may be a consistent way to cut calories, but it's also a big waste.

However, with a Smuckers Uncrustables, you can score a crust-less, factory-crimped circle of kid-coveted peanut butter and jelly with white bread bookends. Uncrustables are also available in cheese, PB and Strawberry Jam, Honey on Wheat and Peanut Butter. Toss one in your lunchbox frozen and it'll thaw by lunchtime.

You don't necessarily have to spend a grueling 24-hour shift reeling in lobster baskets to justify a warm bowl of New England clam chowder. No doubt crews on those Lobster Wars boats sailing out of New England resemble exhausted zombies after a day burning calories on the high seas.

But still, we all know cream-based soups are ripe in fat and calories, and New England clam chowder is a far cry from a clear broth soup. You're going to need to move your body or eat lightly to avoid this soup's backlash on your bod. How many calories in a bowl of irresistible clam chowder?

In one sense, fresh, sweet cherries are like potato chips -- you can't eat just one. It's been a good summer for cherry fans, crop yields exploded with sweet cherry harvests up 52 percent from last year. Often priced upwards of $5.00 a pound, a luscious bowl of dark cherries is a pricey treat. But when you see $2.99 a pound, suddenly you're grabbing a bulging bag of nature's candy from the produce aisle.

But before you start spitting pits from a big bowl of fresh cherries, be aware of the caloric cost. How many calories in a single, sweet cherry?

August community carnivals are wallet-sucking, dizzying fun. What kind of fitness mileage will you need to log to justify that famous carnival pastry -- The Funnel Cake?

Funnel cakes are made by pouring batter through a funnel into hot oil in a circular pattern. Then you deep-fry until golden brown. This large, melt-in-your-mouth treat is often served with powdered sugar, jam or other toppings. Hmm ... batter fried in hot oil? This can't be good.

Carnivals may make you hungry, but at least be aware of what you're eating. Take a guess -- how many calories are in a typical funnel cake (8.3 ounces) you'd see at a carnival fun fair?

A steaming bowl of oatmeal is a great start to your day. Oatmeal is a whole grain so it fills you up, and it's a great source of slow-burning energy that will keep you fueled throughout your morning. What's more, the soluble fiber found in oatmeal helps to reduce low-density lipoproteins (the "bad" cholesterol). And who doesn't like a heart-healthy start to the day?

But despite all the health benefits and the low cost (old-fashioned oats cost approximately $0.13 per serving), is oatmeal a calorie-friendly choice for breakfast?

Eggs are rich in protein, nutritional powerhouses and considered superfood. While relatively high in cholesterol (about 212 mg in a hard-boiled egg), in moderation, they won't do any harm. In fact, research has shown that eating up to seven eggs in a week doesn't increase your risk for heart disease.

Cooking at home is your best way to control ingredients, preparation methods and calories. But when summer's heat hits, it's always nice to escape to an air-conditioned restaurant and not spend time in front of the stove. When you're heading out to a restaurant, it's a good idea to take a peek online to see if you can find out the calorie counts of your favorite dishes. Sometimes that's easier said then done, though. Bev told us how Applebee's doesn't share nutrition information for most of their menu items.

They do, however, have a selection of Weight Watchers items and the points values for each. My personal favorite is the Cajun Lime Tilapia -- a good portion of light and flaky fish topped with black bean and corn salsa and rice pilaf and steamed veggies on the side. A great guilt-free dish. Or is it? What do you think?

If you're watching what you eat, neighborhood barbecues can be a nightmare -- just picture it: Cheeseburgers on the grill, chips galore, sugary cocktails and rich desserts tempting you from atop the picnic table. Even the salads -- potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw -- are likely to be full of creamy calories. Those of you who are hoping to minimize the waistline damage your summer socializing will cause will probably make a beeline for the veggie tray, thinking that if you fill up on healthy stuff, you're less likely to gorge on the other stuff.

But the veggie tray comes with its own set of problems -- and it's called ranch dip. So tell me ...

There are few things more enjoyable than spending a warm summer evening outside with a double scoop of ice cream. But if you're dieting this summer -- or even just trying to break even by not gaining extra pounds -- ice cream on a regular basis is a definite no-no. And Gelato, its lower-fat alternative, isn't much better either, as we told you a few weeks ago. So what's a cold treat lover to do?

Frozen yogurt seems like a good alternative. After all, yogurt's a health food right? What do you think?
