Calories, Cholesterol, Serving Sizes Defined

HEALTH TIPS Questions & Answers

Calories in Flour & Corn Tortillas

Which contains less calories?

A corn tortilla OR a flour tortilla?

Of course calories are impacted by the size of the tortilla, but on average, corn tortillas contain about 1/2 the calories of flour tortillas.

Some jumbo tortillas exceed 200 calories each whereas some corn tortillas of average size can contain 40 calories. Check those labels - and be a corny dieter.

Cholesterol in Eggs

An egg consists of a yolk & a white. Which contains zero cholesterol?

The egg white. But that's not all the egg white doesn't contain. Egg whites are very low in calories - about 17 per large egg white. It's what makes the Egg White Omelet so popular with dieters and waist watchers.

What is a Glass?

The USDA recommends drinking how much water per day? 8 cups or 8 glasses?

Eight cups is the current USDA recommendation - but that number will vary upwards due to activity levels and environment. As to '8 glasses' - what exactly is a glass? Well, that's the problem a glass isn't an exact measurement because not all 'glass' sizes are alike. It's just another reason why measuring out those beverages is so important, particularly when drinking 160-calorie whole milk and 170-calorie grape juice.

Peanut Butter Calories & Serving Size

Which size below is considered to be a serving of peanut butter?

Size of a golf ball OR size of a purple grape?

The size of a golf ball - or about 2 Tablespoons. Tip: Most peanut butters contain about 190 calories per serving while whipped peanut butter contains about 140 calories per serving.

Men & Breast Cancer

True or False

Men cannot get breast cancer.

Unfortunately, the answer is true. The breast area can be an uncomfortable subject for some men - but if you're a male, don't be shy in checking for lumps and if you notice swelling in the breasts, see your doctor without delay.
