But it's impossible to eat a corn muffin and have it literally stick to your butt... just don't eat a dozen at a time and you'll be okay. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]

What makes you fatter is taking in more calories each day, than what you burn each day. It does not matter what the calories are made up of. All foods have calories. Some have more than others. Potato chips, ice cream and candy are high in empty calories. Vegetables and fruits are lower in calories and have other heathy nutrients that your body needs. There is nothing wrong with corn bread. But too much corn bread will add more calories than you can burn. Getting more exercise means you can eat more calories in a day. If you don't get any exercise then you should watch your calories. If you are watching your calories, a piece of whole wheat bread would be better than corn bread for you. Reading the nutrition label on foods is a big help in comparing the calorie content of food.
