Kathie Lee & Hoda: Madelyn’s Food Fight
The ladies are satisfying their sweet tooth with a dessert battle. Whether it is apple pie, cheesecake or chocolate mousse, not all sugary treats are bad for you. To help Kathie Lee and Hoda figure out which sweet treats are good and which ones are bad is Madelyn Fernstrom, Today Show‘s Diet and Nutrition Editor.
Sweet Treats: Apple Crisp Vs Apple Pie
Madelyn’s Food Fight was all about sweet treats, as the ladies answered questions on apple crisp Vs apple pie, calories in tiramisu and brownie sundaes.
Does apple crisp have more, the same or less calories than apple pie?
The correct answer is the same. They both have about 375 calories.
