Las ferias no se caracterizan precisamente por su variedad de alimentos saludables, pero las ricuras disponibles no cuentan con etiquetas con información nutricional tampoco. Para que estés mejor informada la próxima vez que te ataque el hambre durante una feria, compartimos las calorías y las opiniones de las dietistas registradas Stephanie Clarke y Willow Jarosh.

Perro caliente(02 of05)
255 caloríasHablemos claro, no se trata de una comida saludable, pero en el mundo de las ferias es de lo mejorcito.

Manzana con caramelo(03 of05)
357 caloríasEl caramelo que cubre la manzana le añade 250 calorías a esta fruta llena de fibra. Cómetela si estás desesperada por postre.

Pastel de churros ('funnel cake')(04 of05)
367 caloríasEste clásico de las ferias es básicamente un churro aplastado, delicioso, pero es un desastre nutricional. Está lleno de grasa, carbohidratos refinados y muchas calorías. Sí cuenta con 10 gramos de proteína, pero considéralo un gustazo. Este dulce debería ser compartido.

Pretzel suave(05 of05)
483 caloríasLe tienes tremendas ganas, pero antes de darle un mordisco, debes tener presente que esta merienda salada y alta en calorías es el equivalente de comer cinco rebanadas de pan, además de 2,000 gramos de sodio.
