Power crunch.
The Atkins is more healthy because of the less amount of added sugars]]> 2020-11-18 17:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937986619 Alina Reyes https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937989020 Chef Boyardee Raviolis, Quaker Oats oatmeal. Oats is a better choice because it has less, sodium, better carbohydrates, more minerals, contains protein, and iron. While Raviolis hold some value but not enough to even compete with the oats. ]]> 2020-11-18 17:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937989020 Ethan https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937991082 Lays Salt and Vinegar Chips-
- Overall sodium is 220mg
-Contains 330mg of Potassium
-Total Carbohydrates is 15 grams
- Overall, more potassium but less sodium than the cereal, but potassium helps fluid get to your cells and muscle functions.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch-
-Total of 230 mg of sodium
- Total carbohydrates is 33mg, surprisingly more than the chips
- Total of 12 grams of sugar
-Overall, more sodium intake than the chips, combined with more sugar than the chips and a complete absence of potassium makes the cereal less healthy than the chips.]]> 2020-11-18 17:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937991082 Nutrition Label Comparison colestanley https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937993860 Hot Pockets vs. English Muffins

Hot Pockets- Nice as a snack, but not on the daily. High in Sodium, and total carb count. I also noticed that there are 3 grams of added sugar., and 10 grams of protein. Iron, Calcium, Potassium, and Vitamin D are present.

English Muffins- Low calories per each individual serving (of one). High in Sodium, low in fat. There is no trans fat or Cholesterol. Contains Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2. There are also 5 grams of protein and less than 1 gram of sugar.]]> 2020-11-18 17:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/937993860 Evan/BOB https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/938035103 Mini rigatoni-210 calories, 1 gram of fat, 14% of daily carbs, and 7 grams protein

The fettuccine seems to be better.]]> 2020-11-18 18:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/938035103 Dennis https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/938070856 Green Pigeon Peas VS Chef Boyardee Spaghetti

240 calories
Total Fat: 13%

Froot Loops:
150 calories (per 1.5 cups)

I would say the froot loops are healthier overall.

Doritos:
140 Calories
5% Saturated fat

9% Sodium
2% Vitamin A
2% Vitamin B

These two aren't VERY far apart, however the veggie straws are a healthier option because they contain iron and potassium and have less fat in 38 straws. While Doritos have more fat and don't contain any macronutrients more beneficial to you in their serving size of 11 chips.

240 calories( as packaged)
330 calories (as prepared)
Total fat: 3 grams 17%
Saturated fat: 17%
Trans Fat: 1.5 grams
Cholesterol: 5mg 1 %
Sodium: 790 mg 35%
Total Carbs: 45 grams 16%

SPAM
180 calories per serving
Total Fat: 16 grams 21%
Saturated Fat: 6 grams 30%
Trans Fat: 0g
Cholesterol: 40mg 13%
Sodium: 580mg 25%
Total Carb: 1 gram 0%
Total Sugars: 1 gram
1 gram of added sugars
Protein: 7 grams

Now in regards to which one is healthy, this one is rather tough but If I were to ignore the calorie amount, Spam has more of the total fat total whopping 30%. on top of that it has almost no Carbohydrates which is essential to have with most meals. If we ignore calories the Jalapeno Mac n Cheese is actually healthier in terms of content and you get to eat just one bowl to be satisfied with. With Spam cooked you only have this small patty then you begin to add more calories when you prepare it with a sandwich. So in the end I think the Cheetos Jalapeno Mac n Cheese actually takes the victor despite having more calories but it has less fat and will satisfy you unlike the small Spam slices ]]> 2020-11-18 20:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/938834320 https://padlet.com/mikedepina/o7ifo9d3iuyk9hol/wish/939344903 Laura-Mai

Sodium-160mg 7%

Total carbs-2g 1%

Fiber-0g

Total sugar-2g

Added sugar-0%

Protein-3g

These both are not the best for you but, the cream cheese contains more nutrients than the heavy whipping cream. There’s protein, carbs, and higher percentage of vitamin A. The heavy cream has lower amount of sodium but no nutritional value.

9% total fat
10% saturated fat
0% trans fats
0% Cholesterol
4% sodium
8% total carbohydrates
0% dietary fiber
13g total sugars
26% added sugar
less than 1g protein

Salt n Vinegar chips:
150 Calories
12% total fat
12% saturated fat
0% trans fat
0% cholesterol
14% sodium
6% total carbohydrates
4% dietary fiber
1g total sugars
2% added sugars
2g protein

These are both not the best choice to eat, but I would say the oreos are a better choice. They have lower amounts of calories, saturated fat, and sodium. But there is more added sugars in the oreos which makes the two choices kind of equal. So overall I would say the salt n vinegar chips are better for you.

Well these two compared the peanuts are better, there are barley any carbs and mainly fat, the healthy kind and the franken berry theres 35 grams of carbs which turn into sugar ALONG with 22 grams of sugar but two kinds of unhealthy fat,
