We're well into baseball season now, and while the warm weather and ballpark lend itself to loads of calorie-filled beer, there are some better snacking choices you can make. Time for another food showdown:
LARGE HOT DOG WITH KETCHUP VS. BAG OF CRACKER JACKS
A large hot dog has about 365 calories, compared with 420 calories in just one bag of Cracker Jacks. Although the hot dog has fewer calories, it also contains more than 3 times the fat (23.5 grams), 45% of your daily limit of saturated fat, and almost 5 times the sodium (1,150 mg) compared to the caramel popcorn. SATIETY WINNER: Because the hot dog contains a combination of protein, carbohydrates and fat, it'll likely fill you up longer than a sugary snack like Cracker Jacks. But for your health, don't make either a staple of your diet
