Gingerbread

Gingerbread people and houses may look inviting with their smiles made of frosting and gumdrop decor, but don't be fooled! They're packing plenty of calories. Gingerbread cake is even worse, with large quantities of buttermilk, flour, and sugar. One small piece of cake has 260 calories, 36 carbs, and 12 grams of fat.

Stick with small cookies—you can still shape them into people! And use light icing to decorate. Most gingerbread is rich in fiber too!
