100 calories-what it looks like

[GLC1968]

Heh - I've had the Vitatops before. They are high fiber, low fat, low calorie snack muffins, bascially. Started out as only Vitamuffins (whole grain blueberry, cranberry bran, etc) but then they came up with the muffin top idea and found that the world wanted chocolate. Now you find the chocolate ones way more than you might the healthier bran filled ones in the stores. 100 calories each. They actually aren't bad, but the chocolate ones are way too desert tasting - I like my muffins to taste like breakfast, not desert. If I recall correctly, they were pretty wholesome...had to be kept frozen since they had no preservatives, etc. I haven't had one in a couple of years.

I also missed the sushi - is miso soup high-ish in calories? I don't eat it (nasty!) so I had no idea how to gauge that one.

Most of the stuff on that quiz, I don't eat. Somehow though, after years of watching my weight/intake, it gets pretty easy to guess (and some were pure guesses!).

Wasn't there some mnemonic a while ago that the right amount of meat for a serving was about the size of a deck of cards?

Now I know why I cant lose tummy fat( that laps over shorts top - I need bibs!)- Im eating about 500 cal worth of apples a day!! Whoops. Better stick to celery( its really good with curry on it!)

22/24 on the quiz.
Years of counting weight watcher points. 2 points = 100 cal (about).
So I know a LOT of that.
Of course by looking at me you would know that I go over that 100 cal snack just a bit! (actually it is dinner and drinks that do me in!)

I got 17 too! I thought it was pretty fun.

I eat vitamuffins, and I really love them. I do like chocolate a lot though, and it is a great deal of chocolate for 100 calories (which is why I eat them!)

Okay, I hate all these online quizzes but I had to do it just to see.

I got 21. In my defense, the only real food I missed was the shrimp. And shrimp vary so much in size it's kind of hard to give a generic calorie count without specifying how large they are (and shrimp come graded how many per pound, so it's not like it's hard to say, as with different sizes of bananas). String cheese? "Vitamuffin?" WTH is that stuff?
