IKEA, I hate you!

Oat cake ball type things covered with chocolate and coconut, so bloody delicious..looked at back of packet..200 cals..each..I polished off all 6, they’re not even that big 😬😬 hadn’t had any breakfast or lunch as rushing around..somehow, they all got eaten. Feel sick, but keep thinking about them.

They’re bloody gorgeous though!

Ah there's nothing better than a car snack. Makes the traffic go faster too.

Wow- so easy!

Well that's the diet out the window Grin

Goodness knows how many calories in a cream egg but I can cheerfully eat 3 in one go.

Doyouevershutup · 05/05/2021 18:00

But...dilemma...I’m obviously hungry now, because that wasn’t a meal, but can’t eat dinner 🙈how many calories does a 4 hour dog walk burn? 🤣

damn you, @woofgoesthecat

I can polish off a large dominoes pizza with a garlic sauce all by myself Blush
Which is why we don’t order pizza Grin

I ate 2 VERY large eclair like buns from Sainsbury’s. I hid them in my bag, got home, went to the bathroom and scoffed them. IT FELT SO GOOD. I threw the wrapper in the communions my kids have no idea

IEat · 05/05/2021 18:10

Communal bin!!!

Good effort Star

A large sharing bag of McCoys Muchos last less than 5 minutes in my company, i don't care how many grams of fat or calories are in them, i am having them all

Just have a healthy ish dinner and put it down to experience Grin

Dog walking burns off approximately 215 calories per hour:
captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/calories-burned-walking-calculator/

So an hour walking the dog equates to about one cake ball thing...

@Teabaghag

So easy to do. I ate 2 full tubs of Pringles in an hour at the weekend when I was hungover.
Fucking hell 😂👌
EerieSilence · 05/05/2021 18:17

My weakness is ice-cream. I can eat a whole Ben&Jerry's Caramel Chew Chew on my own (the big tub) with a caramel sauce on the top in one sitting. Considering I'm really small, my family always wonder how come I manage.

woofgoesthecat · 05/05/2021 18:25

If you do bake them they are perfect for freezing!

FruHagen · 05/05/2021 18:26

Arghh I have been eating these too. I ate 3 in one go, no idea of calorie count.
They have a sort of raw sweet vibe so I thought they were good to go.

Dentistlakes · 05/05/2021 18:28

Pringles are my downfall. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever reached the point where I don’t want to just keep eating them.

Flaunch · 05/05/2021 18:30

I like those flapjack things you get in the bakery sections in the supermarkets. I tell myself they’re oats so basically porridge...

Regularly eat 4 in one go Blush

Coolerthanapolarbearstoenails · 05/05/2021 18:35

Why can't you eat dinner...?

SleepyMama25 · 05/05/2021 18:40

Easily done! My downfall is M&S cheese straws. Pick them up in the motorway services and they have all disappeared by the time I get where I am going... magic!

SwedishK · 05/05/2021 18:42

Oh I love those! They are so addictive. I will have to go to IKEA now. I sometimes go there just for the food shop.

Jent13c · 05/05/2021 18:55

Polished off a full tub of this in 2 days with a spoon straight from the tub. Disgusting.

@caringcarer apparently only 150 per egg, I just looked it up because I still remember one awful day in the 1970s (yes, I'm that old) when I ate 6 cream eggs. The even worse bit is that I didn't have six to hand, I just kept on going into more shops and buying another one. I bet they were bigger back then too.

WTF was I thinking? Or WTF was I on?
Was I - gasp - on glue? Grin

LegoPirateMonkey · 05/05/2021 19:34

You didn’t have breakfast or lunch and now you won’t let yourself have dinner either?

Doyouevershutup · 05/05/2021 19:51
