Easter has always been a big candy holiday. One of the toughest parts about it is that you don’t realize you are eating so much. Each jelly bean and chocolate egg doesn’t seem like a whole lot, but it adds up. Each one contains a lot of calories and that will add up to a huge total when you add it to your regular meals throughout the weekend.
Active.com is a great resource for all things wellness. You can find events and get tips on diet. The diet detective provided the list below to help you watch your Easter candy intake:

Happy Easter!
