I love jaw breakers. I have a couple every day... well maybe like 5/7 days per week. Sometimes I have like 4 or 5. I always make sure to not go over my calorie goal (yes I eat my exercise cals), but I just know that all that sugar is bad for my body and bad for my teeth.
Oh and... there's 16 grams of sugar in 3 pieces.
I try to chew gum whenever I know I'm not hungry, but my mouth wants to do something... but I just love jaw breakers! Lol.
help?
(Btw... I try to avoid artificial sweeteners. I do use pure stevia, though.)

Smarties = 15 pieces = 25 calories0

How much sugar? A jaw breaker is only 20 calories lol.0

You can eat 7 rolls of Smarties before you break 200 calories! If you chew them, the candy/sugar is not sitting on your teeth for so long.0

But aren't they kind of sour? I'm not resistant to change, promise! lmao. I just don't remember liking Smarties all that much.0

I dont think they are sour ... but if jawbreakers are your love and you enjoy them and can budget them in, why change it.
I LIVE for Smarties .... its my perfect go to food especially when I am stressed out with homework. It takes me hours to eat 10 rolls... and even still only 250 calories down!0 -
I would just eat the jaw breakers. You like them, why change? I don't think they are that big of deal.0

I had to go google Smarties because I had never heard of a 'roll of Smarties'. ~chuckles~ Never had a clue there was a different kind than the chocolate ones.0

I take it we are talking American Smarties and not Canadian Smarties which are actually more like M&Ms?
Had me fooled there for a minute thinking about all that amazing candy coated chocolate I could eat lol.0 -
