Hostess - 100 Calorie Cupcakes Review

Who knew you could feel good about eating cupcakes while on a diet? Apparently Hostess did when they created a new line of 100 calorie snacks.

Small Cupcake, Big Taste

I think the 100 calorie version of the Hostess cupcakes taste even better than the original version with twice the calories and fat. They come in vanilla, carrot cake or chocolate. They have a smooth layer of frosting and a light cream filling.

100 Calorie Snacks

Most diet programs recommend 2-3 100 calorie snacks throughout the day. While we all know we should be munching on carrots and apples to fulfill this requirement, it's not always possible and sometimes we all have the need for a little treat. Why not treat yourself to a satisfying chocolate snack that will keep you within your calorie range? Hostess makes it easy to take their 100 calorie cupcake on the go to satisfy your sweet tooth at a moment's notice.

Cupcake Overload

The only problem I see with this lighter version of cupcakes is that they are so good that people may be tempted to eat more than one serving. While the occasional treat isn't enough to sabotage your weight loss program, eating an entire box of goodies sure will. Make sure you remove a single portion of cupcake from the box and return the rest. Keeping them in the freezer and only thawing one serving at a time is another option to make sure you don't go overboard with cupcakes.
