The June/July 2006 issue of Men’s Fitness magazine ran an article chronicling the best and worst of the frozen treats. Here is the rundown:

Fittest:

Rocket Pop

• 70 calories
• 0 g protein
• 19g carbs
• 0 g fat

Whole Fruit Bar

• 80 calories
• 0 g protein
• 21g carbs
• 0 g fat

They claim it counts as a daily serving of fruit if it’s made from 100% juice.

Fudgsicle

• 100 calories
• 2 g protein
• 19g carbs
• 2.5 g fat

Can you believe there is protein in a fudgsicle? Who knew…

Fattest:

Chipwich

• 250 calories
• 4 g protein
• 37g carbs
• 11 g fat

And I quote, “…the worst mix of calories, carbs, and protein of almost any snack out there.”

Drumstick

• 260 calories
• 4 g protein
• 29g carbs
• 15 g fat

And I quote, “…a high-calorie affair you’re better off avoiding.”

To put that in perspective, a McDonad’s Quarter Pounder has 16 grams of fat.

The bottom line here is, when you’re deciding which luscious treat to purchase at the grocery store, at least take like 3 seconds to read the label. If you’re deciding between a few things, this will make the decision easy.
