Jack-o-Lantern and Halloween Candy

Beware of Treats

With Halloween fast approaching, you’ll have stocks of candy lying around waiting to be passed out to trick-or-treaters. As tempting as that fun-sized snickers bar might be, you’re better off resisting the temptation. Those little suckers pack quite the punch of calories and fat, and before you know it, you’ve scarfed down 5 of them. Here, we break down just how much time you’d have to spend in the gym to work off that measly piece of candy. If you’re not looking to spend more hours of your day hitting the iron, steer clear of these Halloween treats. SEE ALSO: Top 20 Reasons to Skip the Sugar This Halloween*Stats based on a 180-lb male.
