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!

@JustMarriedAndLovingIt MUCH nicer than snowballs..I thought they’d be like that..but no whippy whiteness inside, but thick chocolatey yumness

I love every single one of you. Today I ate a family size Galaxy and I’m not even embarrassed.

Incredible, great work 😂🎉

What foods are ‘free’ that we can eat after a um half jar of Nutella?
Also which one is probably more fattening a bar of chocolate or same size in biscuits.
What’s the average daily calories for average sized women

@Doyouevershutup

I only went in for a potty!

Going back on Monday.

That recipe says that Swedish restaurants usually serve one chocolate ball for dessert. So you did well OP Grin

However I now want to try the recipe and may well find myself in similar circumstances.

I love this thread. Normally MN is all about how little people eat. This is much more my kind of thread... my colleague impressed me recently eating 4 hot cross buns in a go. I’m dietting but sure I could have done that too.

WeirdAndPissedOff · 06/05/2021 07:49

It's easily done!
I'm quite partial to Tesco double choc chip mini muffins - gone in two mouthfuls and very moreish! Then I realised they're over 500 calories each, so don't buy them any more! Blush

I would just have dinner (maybe lighter than usual!) and start afresh tomorrow Grin. There's no point in missing dinner, as you'll get hungry later and then end up eating slices of cheese (or maybe that's just me)...

MisgenderedSwan · 06/05/2021 08:00

1200 calories is very low unless you're 4ft 8 and 8 stone! Check out someone such as Team RH or Dan Wheeler on TikTok - I'm currently losing 1-2lb a week on 1700 and it's much more doable!

I would have a light, balanced tea fairly high in protein - chicken, salad, couscous or something, drink plenty of water and draw a line under it. They do look delicious!!

@IEat most apt user name for a thread ever? Grin

So you're saying you're not meant to eat the whole packet? How?!

Easter was my downfall, no chocolate was consumed (i was being good) but I just can't resist a hot cross bun.

BarbaraofSeville · 06/05/2021 09:23

Hot cross buns are just sweet air. I try not to buy them because they fall into the category of food that make me more hungry, not less. I'm not that bothered about them either.

I'm currently deciding whether to eat both of the custard choux buns that the M&S food thread from yesterday made me buy, or save one for DP and have the other one tomorrow because I've already had the scone I bought to use up the remaining clotted cream.

youngestisapsycho · 06/05/2021 09:26

I might have just printed that recipe! 😆

impressivelycunty · 06/05/2021 09:42

Yesterday I ate a whole bag of those Bonne Maman madeleines.

Bargebill19 · 06/05/2021 11:40

But those made lines are sooo small. Barely a mouthful in one packet. @impressivelycunty 🤣
