A whole wholemeal bloomer today with real butter? It was so yummy and I just couldn't stop myself.

Was it warm too? I love warm bread with real butter...

Eeep!

It depends. That's a whole lot of carbs and fat but, as long as you didn't and don't eat anything else today, it's not going to do you any harm for once.

oopsadaisymaisy · 31/05/2013 18:14

Flobb, I did toast most of it and the butter melted into the depths of its sumptuous yummy soul. :)

I never know how to answer these threads and whether the OPs are being lighthearted or not.

So I suppose it depends on why you're asking if you're being unreasonable?

Sounds looooovely.

The last time I bought soda bread I went for a slice and ate the lot over the course of the next few hours. A 400g loaf, with butter! I regret nothing...

Rosieeo · 31/05/2013 18:15

Sorry, YANBU.

oopsadaisymaisy · 31/05/2013 18:16

I've had a small baked potato too with a little cheese and coleslaw and 4 small choc biscuits. I'm poorly, that's my excuse. I'm not going to eat more than 500 calories tomorrow.

I'm being light hearted. I very rarely even buy bread but that bloomer was beyond gorgeous. I only had a small slither of butter.

Ok, well, according to MFP:

bloomer (dependent on size) - 850-1000cals approx
butter (dependent on amount) - 1000 cals approx
small baked potato - about 120 cals
small amount cheese - about 100 cals
coleslaw - about 100 cals
4 small choc biscuits - about 200 cals

Total - around 2500 cals

So, if you have 500 tomorrow, you will be fine!

SO YWBU but not too much

oopsadaisymaisy · 31/05/2013 18:27

Haha, thanks manic. I only had scraping of butter, o don't like it thick. That's a huge number of calories. I'm a pig but tomorrow I will fast to make up for it.

1000 cals of butter is over half a pack!

Alisvolatpropiis · 31/05/2013 19:20

Yanbu. It's not as though you're doing it everyday is it? It's probably better than having a KFC (my absolute favourite dirty take away food)

Fairylea · 31/05/2013 19:22

Yanbu.

Have been known to eat a whole box of millies cookies to myself... about 12 of them at 190 calories each. Oops.

MisselthwaiteManor · 31/05/2013 19:24

YANBU, nothing wrong with treating yourself to some carby fatty food now and again, and it sounds delicious.

LouiseD29 · 31/05/2013 20:54

Sounds delicious! I'm eating an Almond Magnum for dinner.

oopsadaisymaisy · 31/05/2013 20:58

Ooh, I love an almond magnum, although nothing beats a mint choc chip lol or cornetto.

landofsoapandglory · 31/05/2013 21:02

YABU for the butter alone. I can not stand butter, margarine or another type of spread of that ilk.

I couldn't eat that much bread, but I do love brown toast with Marmite so the Marmite soaks in.

mrsjay · 31/05/2013 21:04

I buy tiger bread for when i need a binge and scoff the lot with cheese spread on top Grin

mrsjay · 31/05/2013 21:06

Yanbu fuck the calories I say Grin

oopsadaisymaisy · 31/05/2013 21:07

Ooh, mrsj you are naughty :)
