Pop tarts

most likely they are useless empty calories made of god knows what(lots of chemicals and other fillers) heres a yummy alternative. Whole wheat toast, with a smear of peanut butter and some low sugar or sugar free jam. It has fiber and protien to fill you up as well as good quality carbs for energy. Plus its way healthier for about 100 or so caories...Its a yummy!!!!

They're full of carbs and sugars and probably sodium as well! You body will turn the sugar into fat and the carbs aren't great either! I agree-there's other things to eat better then Pop-Tarts.

Cheese is high in sodium but has lots of calories. Peanuts or other nuts, are good, too-and they have good oil that is good for your body.

They're still horrible for you anytime of day! Take along some of your own sandwiches or like I said, nuts!

LOL yes step away from the pop tart! You are sooo funny Renee!

hugs!

Most likely you will eat both correct?? So lets double that to 242 cal and 124 fat

Now if you like the borwn sugar ones-430.69 cal adn 15.1g fat for 1 pastry so 2 would be 861.38 cal and 30.2 g fat.

Most likly you will be hungry soon or maybe feeling tired

You can eat chicken
veggies
1/2 cup quinoas
and have some sugar free jello for less calories.
Food that is healthy, filling and will give you energy.

PUT DOWN THE POP TART...STEP AWAY.

YUCK! They're even worse then I remember! I can't believe the sodium and carbs in those things! My husband calls them (and stuff like them) "plastic food" and says there's nothing natural in them--it's all made in a lab he says!!

I LOVE pop tarts, they were what I lived on in undergrad, until someone pointed something out to me.

Look on the box. . .there is a warning that says "don't leave them unattended" while they're in the toaster (or something similar). I was told (and this may be urban legend, but it scared hell out of me) that that's because there are so many chemicals in pop tarts that they can burst into flames.

Yikes. They're also just totally empty, refined calories and will do nothing to satisfy your hunger. They are a "food like substance", not food.:flowerforyou:

I will probably variate between an uncrustable and baked chips with a juice from now on! Thanks guys

Hate to put a damper on you uncrustables, but....

I think you are better off making your own after reading the ingredients. It is cheaper too. Sorry.... I will stop picking on your snacks.

I decided that pop tarts were the devil about 4 yrs ago when I realized how much fat and calories are in those suckers!!!

BEEN THERE--DONE THERE--GOT THE RUINED TOASTER!

Yes, they will catch on fire! I used to eat them and loved mine a little bit "burnt" on top--you know, crunchy. Well, one day, the whole dang thing went up in flames and they were shooting out the toaster! :noway:

It's the sugar content in them actually (I think) that makes them so flammable.

My brother eats poptarts, and im not sure if its in all brands, but if you read the ingredients it has partially hydrogenated oils. Hydrogenated oils=trans fats= will make you fat and unhealthy!

Hydrogenated oils=VERY BAD, check out this info on hydrogened oils below:
