For many people, dessert is the highlight of any meal. Unfortunately, many desserts fail to deliver good nutritional value because they are high in calories but low in nutrients. The nutritional information for desserts varies from one type to another, of course, so you should consult the nutrition label or calorie chart for your favorite type of desserts to determine their nutrition facts. Though the details may vary from one type to another, desserts are generally high in calories and should therefore be enjoyed in moderation.
