Ever feel like splurging? Maybe you want to splurge on something sweet, such as a Caramel Frappuccino? Or a cocktail at the end of the week? Or French Toast on a Saturday morning? Indulging isn’t always bad, but if you are working on achieving your weight loss goals, just remember that what you may think is a “small splurge” just might contain more calories than you thought!

 

Check out the (average) total calories for some of our favorite “splurge foods” and what it takes to burn those calories off:
