I love this kind of Larabar -
type thing, not so much as a
dessert but to carry around as a
snack to have after a workout (skating, in my case)
or to bring along on a hike.
Such foods, according to the AAP, «traditionally feature candy, sweet
or fried
desserts, chips, and other
snack -
type foods and sweetened beverages,» which contribute to the rather shocking finding that «as much as 40 % of the daily energy consumed by 2 - to 18 - year - olds is in the form of»em pty calories.»»
