What is the best option if you are watching your weight? 1 cupcake

Tip #1: If you can limit the number of refills, have a handful of nuts, a piece of peppermint bark, and one cupcake. That’s approximately 500 calories!

Tip #2: Don’t eat all at once; eat a little and talk a little. You will avoid mindless eating, and instead, only have a small taste of your favorite sweets.
