<div><p>Q: I always overbuy Halloween candy and scarf down the leftovers. What are the best and worst candy options?</p><p>A: Short of giving out raisins or pencils, there are a few easy ways to avoid unwanted Halloween bloat. My advice:</p><p>1. Stick with chocolate. Two Tootsie Rolls or a pair of Hershey's Kisses are each only 50 calories. But keep that cocoa pure. Avoid bars with nuts, peanut butter, or caramel—all of which pack in additional calories.</p><p>2. Fruit flavors are good. Go for jelly beans or Skittles. Both are low cal—for candy. Starburst are another good option with just 20 calories per piece.</p><p>3. Be a sucker. The leanest bet of all is the one that actually lasts the longest: the Tootsie Pop. Unlike candies that you devour in seconds, lollipops have only 60 calories and stick around until you get bored and trash 'em.</p><p>About the Expert: Tanya Zuckerbrot, R.D., is a NYC-based nutritionist and author of The F-Factor Diet.</p><p>Got a question for one of our experts?
