There is nothing more fucking annoying to me than some of the portion size bullshit on packages. Like, when I have a bowl of fruit loops, I'm going to have a bowl, not a tablespoon*. Either give me the whole fucking package worth of calories (which... seriously some people need) or at least be realistic with portion sizes. I know it's an estimate, but I'm pretty sure companies love to make their crap sound better than it is by giving the minimum.

Edit: * - I call out fruit loops but I haven't actually looked them in a long time now, so my example is not real world. As someone paying attention to this across a lot of different products though, it's been really grinding my gears and I needed to rant. XD

I don't know how it is where you are, but here there's always nutritional information per 100g, in addition to the portion sizes. So I always ignore everything but the per 100g, and compare the macronutrient distribution that way

I severely overestimate my calories if it’s food and not booze. I think I’ve been eating 1000-1300cal daily, but I really gotta not drink more than I eat.

According to the post, 41 grams of snickers has 200 calories. 40 kcal or 40000 calories is 8.2kg of snickers. If anything they would be vastly overestimating the amount of calories...

1 kcal = 1 "food Calorie", yes it's confusing.

Ok, so TIL, but also the post has 200 cal, not Cal which would be kcal.

Edit: Ok I'm wrong. It says Cal

Generally they're something on the order of 400x as sweet as sugar so it takes a negligible amount to sweeten an item compared to sugar, hence low calorie

They are all 200 caloreies, so needs lots of sweetener packs to get to 200 calories

I prefer the lunchbox peppers/mini peppers but they cost way more than baby carrots. Usually chopping up extra carrots into sticks to snack on works well enough for me.

Until malnutrition properly sets in lol

Your body is going to have plenty of essential fatty acids and calories sure, but there's no vitamins, amino acids, or minerals in pure oil. I can't tell you how long it will take before those really set in, but you're probably going to start feeling quite shit quite quickly

..Not to mention your bowel movements are going to be... Slippery
