THE
GRADING
SCALE
FOR
POPULAR D
FOODS
|
|
Donuts
|
- A
typical
donut
from
your
local
bakery
minus
the
chocolate
glaze
and
sprinkles
contains
about
200
calories.
And
yes,
even
thin
people
enjoy
donuts
and
actually
-
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
enjoying
a
donut
every
now
and
then.
The
key
is:
Every
now
and
then
AND
be
sure
to
tally
up
those
calories
into
your
daily
diet.

Danish
|
A
Danish will
cost
you
about
350
calories.
It's
at
this
point
where
the
dieter
must
make
a
tough
decision.
Do
they
want
the
Danish
OR
would
they
rather
have
an
egg,
two
slices
of
bacon,
a
piece
of
toast
with
a
dab
of
jam
and
a
glass
of
skimmed
milk
-
with
calories
to
spare?
That's
about
how
much
that
Danish
is
going
to
cost,
calorie-wise.

Deviled
Ham
|
Two
ounces
of
deviled
ham
contains
about
200
calories.
Take
a
mental
note
that
with
most
everything
that
contains
the
term
'DEVIL'
-
the
calorie-count
is
generally
going
to
be
hell.
Devil's
Food
Cake,
Deviled
Eggs,
etc.
How
can
something
so
devily
be
so
good?

Dips
|
Here
is
where
the
Diet
Tilt-o-Meter
comes
into
play.
Some
dips
can
be
very
Diet
Friendly
while
others
are
Diet
Lethal.
Creamy
dips,
unless
prepared
with
light,
low
fat
ingredients,
spell
Diet
Disaster.
A
Diet
Friendly
dip
might
consist
of
low
fat,
sugar
free
vanilla
yogurt
mixed
with
poppy
seeds
and
crushed
pineapple.

Deep
Dish
Pizza
|
Deep
Dish
Pizza
is
very
close
to
getting
an
F
but
who
in
their
right
Italian
mind
can
resist
cheesy
pizza?
Pizzas
vary
greatly
in
calories.
Check
the
labels
at
home
and
when
dining
out,
request
the
calorie
content
from
your
waiter.
Stick
to
one
slice
and
order
a
side
salad
with
light
dressing
to
top
off
your
meal.
