I have already had one. I bought two. It is taunting me there in the Co Op bag.

So I ask you wise people, do I give in to the gluttony?

I am currently breastfeeding so I need the calories don't I?

Jaffa cakes actually make up two of your 5 a day.

You have the orange, which is also a valuable source of vitamin C, as cleverly pointed out by Dry. You also have the chocolate, which comes from cocoa beans, which are grown on a plant. It's practically a salad! Plus dark chocolate is good for your heart. Scientists have proved it Grin

Bearing in mind the blood sugar issue, I'd follow the wise procedure below:

  1. Make cup of tea;
  2. Drink;
  3. Make second cup of tea;
  4. Enjoy with Jaffa cakes.


This will allow a blood sugar calm down and you will ease into your second lot nicely hydrated.

TBH, after eating one packet of Jaffa cakes already I'm not sure a second pack would make that much difference to the OP's blood sugar!

Sorry to put a dampner in things but what about the surge in blood sugar levels by eating so many jaffa cakes in one go!!?

It is a little-known fact that Jaffa Cakes contain more vitamins and minerals than organic blueberries, broccoli and salmon. YANBU

There's not much fat in Jaffa cakes if that helps.

Go for it - it's Friday, you're breastfeeding, and you can keep me company while I eat my second jam doughnut of the day! Blush Grin

You'd be doing me a favor, as I have a real medical condition called 'jafferinteritis' that means if I see a jaffa I eat a jaffa.

It's a daily struggle and the less that are about the better Grin

They have barely any calories in as are more air than cake/biscuit. AND they have orange in them, which is a great source of vitamin C. So, it would be unreasonable of you not to eat them.

YANBU - tis the obvious answer!

Gluttony would be eating both packs then going back to the shop for more! Wink

The second packet will not taste nearly as nice.
