Funny thing is a supervisor I once had on 3rd shift would go grab a Snickers from the vending machine up stairs at night occasionally.
One time, we made fun of him because clearly it's a candy bar and not the best nutritional choice you'd think... He told us that essentially the Snickers he was eating was no worse for you than the protein bars they sell for 3 dollars apiece.
Now, I would normally chalk this up as a guy talking shit. But the fact is, he was in his 50s, and still in great shape. He had done a lot of weight training through out his life, and even provided Arnold Schwarzeneggar with security as a side job in the past.
He was no slouch, and generally we all looked at him as a serious badass. If this guy says Snickers are no worse for you than a protein bar, I believe it.
Eat more Snickers.
Just be sure you actually exercise and are active. You can't just eat anything you want, and sit on your ass and expect to look good and be healthy.

I remember standing in my bosses office earlier in my career one day while he was reviewing some project I had been working on. On his desk was a twix bar and a liter bottle of mountain dew. He wasn't much of a man, slightly feminine, 165lbs at best and probably around 6'2".
I remember standing over his shoulder as I listened to him belittle the quality of my work. I stood 6 foot, 225lbs at about 10.5-11% body fat at that point thinking about how easy it would be for my to crush his tiny little head.
Weeks later he died in a plane crash - private plane went down over the Rockies, Big Bopper style. I replaced his now vacant role and started eating twix and drinking mountain dew.
I now have a corner office with a view of the Atlantic but weigh 205 at 16% body fat. If only his plane hadn't gone down or if only he hadn't eaten twix - Still can't decide which is worse.
