To think crisps eaten from a bowl are much classier - and probably less fattening?

[WhoahThere]

DH not back yet from stag do - 3 nights away. DD (7mo) in bed, all washing done and put away. Glass of Frascati and some Seabrooks can't do any harm can they?

Yum yum :o

Everyone knows that crisps from a bowl contain 100% fewer calories than eaten from the packet.

Especially if eaten standing on one leg , in the kitchen .
Probably on minus calories by now .

Cheers.
On a glass of red. ....and some fruit and nut.....

Depends how many time you go back and refill the bowl. Up to four is fine.

Break them in half first, as then the calories leak out.

Fact.

If nobody see's you eat them the calories don't count.

The calories expended in opening the bag, then putting the crisps into the bowl, then carrying the bowl through, must surely mean it ends up as almost a calorie neutral snack.

I think wine counts towards your five a day too.

All food eaten while watching a film also has no calories. Enjoy :o

IME if you eat something like an apple that day, it cancels out the calories from the crisps. Also works for chocolate/ fruit juice, or ice-cream / oat cake.

80% of the fat, and all of the salt, evaporate on contact with air.

Am reading about organic stuff in the Observer food mag too for bonus points!

This may be why my diets never work... I listen to MN too much

and all food that someone else pays for is completely calorie-free too

Then why am I so fat

If you eat a bar of chocolate all in one go it is not as fattening as eating a square a day. I am living proof - i am not fat i am just big boned.

And if you dip them in salsa, the chiili will actually burn away any fat from the crisps

If no one sees you eat them, there are NO calories. Applies to all food. Although someone told me there are as many calories in a glass of wine as there are in a packet of crisps. FFS drinks count??

DH is studying his exercise nutrition course for personal trainers and came back and told me that you MUST eat carbs to be healthy.

He also said that a couple of glasses of wine do no harm as part of an otherwise balanced diet.

I take this as meaning that I should stock up on Sensations and Viognier every week. Just to be healthy.

So glad to have this theory confirmed as just sitting with large and mini bowls of crisps, nuts and bacon fries

Wont need to exercise tomorrow now as Im sure to be on minus calories by now :)

Oooh I really want some bacon fries now!

I want some whole nut. I have no chocolate in the house, not even cooking chocolate chips.

Kettle chips- they are thicker therefore less surface area relitively for fat absorbtion. And a bugger to open, so there's a few calories spent.

And salsa is vegetables isn't it?

Oh, and what's hand cooked crisps all about.
How can you cook crisps in your hands.?
You don't put your hands into the oil?
Thinks back to that very early episode of Spooks....eek!
