Cookies vs. Morsels

How about Nutritional Comparison between so called “healthier” cookies

and Mac-n-Mo’s Morsels?

This Morselist went on a Bakery Shopping Spree and was shocked at what she found:

Mentioning no specific brand names and only comparing higher end FRESH bakery cookies,

(an ENTIRE box-One Dozen Morsels has 360 calories, 12g fat, 0 sodium, 48 Carbs, 12g sugar – Still less than ONE average bakery cookie at 420 calories)

COOKIE: 420 calories

MORSEL: 30 calories

COOKIE: 10g Saturated Fat

MORSEL: 0g Saturated Fat, 1 g Fat

COOKIE: 320 mg Sodium

MORSEL:  0mg Sodium

COOKIE:  64g Carbs

MORSEL: 4g Carbs

COOKIE:  32g Sugar

MORSEL:  1g Sugar

COOKIE:  460 Calories

MORSEL:  30 Calories

COOKIE: 9g Saturated Fat

MORSEL: 0g Saturated Fat, 1g Fat

COOKIE:  300 mg Sodium

MORSEL:  0mg Sodium

COOKIE:  70g Carbs

MORSEL:  4g Carbs

COOKIE:  34g Sugar

MORSEL:  1 Sugar

Again, an ENTIRE box- ONE DOZEN Morsels contain 360 calories compared to ONE Oatmeal Raisin Cookie at 360 Calories.

Now, I know once in a while we all want to and deserve to SPLURGE, but wouldn’t you feel better if you ate mo’ morsels most of the time and Bakery Cookies on occasion?

This Morselist, albeit, NOT objective, eats morsels every night for dessert and once in a while splurges on a Cookie Cookie.

But splurging doesn’t feel as guilty when it’s truly just a splurge.  Morsels can change the way we eat snacks & treats, allowing us to truly splurge on occasion.   After all, the definition of splurge is to indulge oneself in some luxury or pleasure, occasionally.
