According to an article in Newsweek about “Fall’s Fattening Foods” you are at risk of expanding your waistline exponentially this season.

 Autumn is fraught with dangers including excess calories consumed from Halloween candy, extra helpings of mashed potatoes and apple pie.

 For instance just 25 jellybeans adds 140 calories, a helping of mashed potatoes is 200 calories and a slice of apple pie WITHOUT the usual ice-cream is close to 400 calories. With the ice cream you have a desert that is 530 calories. 

The worst however has to be the Starbucks Venti Pumpkin Spice Lattes , which has enough calories in it to be a meal in itself. It weighs in at 530 calories.
