All these options and late at night I still find myself reaching in the fridge for the canola oil.

    That's especially weird with packaged food because it says right on it.

    implying people read nutritional labels closely.

    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...

    Baby carrots continues to be the goat of the snack world.

    Happy to see that fried chicken apparently goes 1 to 1 with white bread.

    72g of Chicken Sandwich = 72g of French Bread Roll.

    I wonder how long I could survive on canola oil.

  • 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

    What I get from this is that I am not eating nearly enough mini peppers or Jack in the Box.

    kinda surprised they did not do cabbage. my wife makes cabbage soup every so often. not the best but not bad and both way cheap, low cal, and filling.
