Recently been having these Costco trail mix packets as a daily treat, just realized it’s 2 servings per packet 😔
Had to go back and change like 12 days of logging. I realized because I was eating one and I thought 'huh this one must be wrong because that's too many nuts for 150 cals🥲'

Ya, I don’t do the 1200 calorie thing but I stay away from nuts. Can’t get much for your calories lol

There are these so called low cal chips. It says something like 96 cals on the front. I ate the whole bag and felt really full, i checked the back and it says 96 cals per serving of 20g. The whole bag was 100g. I just downed 500 cals on 1 bag of chips. Insane marketing strategy. Fcking hate it when they write serving cals…
Either give the full calls of the whole bag or give me calls per 100g as usual. Its easy to calculate on the spot that way.

Bruh I hate it when they have 2 servings of a small thing but only put the calories for one, like who the hell is having half of the thing?? I always check the calories anyway but it’s just dissapointing when you realize the serving 🥲

Before I tracked calories, I thought nuts were low calorie and high protein…..I now know I was wrong about both 🥲

If it makes you feel better we only absorb around 70% of calories from nuts!

Nuts and trail mix are diabolical. I limit to like a pinch of sunflower seeds on salad.

Although I haven’t cut out any major food groups (like carbs) while I’ve been losing, there are specific food items that I avoid because the hit to my calorie budget isn’t worth it. Nuts/trail mix are high on that list (and mayo-laden sandwiches…I do miss those). No way am I going to be happy with a measly quarter cup (four tablespoons!) of trial mix. Instead, I can have one of my favorite snacks of a reduced-fat cheddar cheese stick (Lucerne brand is so good…can’t tell it’s reduced fat) with a banana for 175 calories and satisfy that sweet/salty craving.
