The calories don't count when . . . . .

[Duck on Wheels]

And, chocolate is brown. Mushrooms are brown. Mushrooms are a vegetable with very few calories. Obviously, then, chocolate is a vegetable with very few calories!

That's another one I've heard before -- that calories from anything brown don't count. That one and the evening-out-the-crooked-cut-pie one. Also a third: that they don't count if you're just finishing off those left-over bits that aren't enough for another meal and therefore not worth fridge space. After all, throwing out food is a sin, right?

[fultzie]

yep, that's why brown sugar is healthier than regular sugar!

and second-hand calories don't count... especially if you swipe the fries/ cookie/ milkshake off of your friend/ brother's tray.

or if someone makes you a meal as a treat. that doesn't count.

and you *have* to eat the broken brownies/ cookies/ chips! they're *broken*! you can't subject some other poor person to eating the broken bits.

i spin with a group on sunday mornings, and then we make chocolate chip pancakes with syrup/ real bacon/ scrambled eggs in the bacon grease/ mimosas/ coffee... that doubly doesn't count, because it's sunday and we did a spinervals video!

fries don't count if everyone around you has some (like tonight).

I like the "negative calories" if you give the pie crust to the dog.

My sister said "milk chocolate" was a dairy product when she was pregnant...but her babies weighed 9# 3oz (a month premature) and 10# 6oz respectively .

Let's see...dark chocolate is good for your heart, no calories there. Whole grains don't have calories, as we all know. Ummmm...no way can soy milk have calories. Definitely, caffeine-free diet Coke is a calorie eliminator...if you're working all night, nothing you eat has calories...M&Ms are a vitamin if eaten at 4AM after delivering a baby...

Oh, man, is it time for me to go to bed! L.

Of course, if you bike to the meal, the calories don't count. (Even if the greasy spoon joint you are going to is only 1 mile away - downhill.)

The week of the test. They all get used up with all that stress and energy it takes to stay up those extra hours.

Oooo, good one!

When the food is smaller than a dime. Such as choc-covered espresso beans.

Yep and this is one of these weeks. pulmonary and cario pathophysiology tests, Friday and Saturday. hmm, maybe I should get back to studying.

[Hell-uv-a-job]

you can eat anything you want since you are sick and your body need to replenish supplies.

[Lise]

When you care for pregnant women for a living. I mean, somebody has to model "small frequent meals" for them, right? Oh, the sacrifices I make...

Ahh... but you have to ride that 1 mile to get backup... up hill
