Wrong choice
I think I have been cheating myself and possibly throwing my actual calorie count off. I am a coffee drinker but I drink my coffee with about a Tbsp of 2% milk and about 3 tsp of sugar.

10 worst foods for kids
Just thought this was interesting. I hate when I see moms giving their kids those "fruit" chewys. 1 Chicken Nuggets Any fast food that's breaded and fried is bursting with fat.
