The snacks? They can be the grave of the diet : very often, in fact, eating between meals can lead us to take in many more calories than we think, with the consequence of gaining weight even if we eat very little at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The reason is simple: a handful of dried fruit can get us to take 120 to 200 calories, a bar even 300, a fruit yogurt about 200 if whole, not to mention homemade desserts, which are often not at all anymore. lighter than those purchased.

In fact, many cooks and cooks, even experienced ones, confuse lightness (in calories) with the elimination of some foods from their recipe (it is light because it has no eggs, it is light because it has no butter) , wrongly considered those dangerous for line: with the consequence that, if you eliminate the eggs but add one hundred grams of seed oil more, the dessert will be more caloric by over 600 calories.
And in the end, a homemade muffin or slice of cake becomes more dangerous for the line than an industrial snack.
