How many calories did I eat?

71 replies

Shameless name change and posting here for traffic and the fun of the replies AIBU attracts.

I went into our nearest city earlier this week. It's something I do rarely and the attached food list is something I'd eat maybe three times a year at the most.

Before people faint in horror I'll repeat that it's something that would happen three times a year, if that. I'm a healthy weight with a BMI of 22. My cholesterol levels are on the low side. BP fine, other bloods fine. Not diabetic or anything and I'm usually careful with my diet and very active.

Porridge with golden syrup.
Tea, no sugar
Starbucks caramel coffee Frappuccino
Starbucks cinnamon swirl
McDonald's meal of vegetable deluxe, medium fries, medium Fanta.
McDonald's Creme Egg McFlurry and finished off my child's Oreo McFlurry-probably a quarter of it.
5 butter biscuits from M&S
More tea, no sugar.

How many calories would you say I consumed?

Who cares? If you want to work it out look it all up on my fitness pal

If only there was an option not to read or reply to a thread...

have you heard of google?

leafygarden · 14/04/2023 16:52

Quite a lot. But not a shocking amount. Crack on and check out the calorie amounts on Google.

I really could not be bothered to do that for you as I've been at work since 7am.

Work it out and report back.

I know how many, I'm asking if others know how many calories that would be 🙄

AHugeTinyMistake · 14/04/2023 16:52

2500? Pure guesswork. I do have my fitness Pal but CBA to look all that up 😂

Skinnermarink · 14/04/2023 16:53

This is Mumsnet, so I’ll say 6700 and you can’t eat until next Christmas.

Viviennemary · 14/04/2023 16:53

Possibly around 2,700 calories. Maybe a lot more depending on size of the coffees

Bkworm · 14/04/2023 16:53

If you have a look on MyFitnessPal all of those things will be on there and you can work it out to the exact calorie. :)

Roserunner · 14/04/2023 16:53

It's not ridiculous, I was expecting worse!! I'd say around 2000 calories.

sleepwhenidie · 14/04/2023 16:53

Trying to figure out the fun part of the OP…failing. I mean, it’s a lot of sugar and shit quality food in one day (maybe you are on some kind of sugar high prompting the strange post?) but probably not an extraordinary amount of calories. And even if it was-who cares? 🙁

Well?????

We're all dying to know

Gotafaceon · 14/04/2023 16:55

Weird thread. Why's it fun?

ChiChaNaYubi · 14/04/2023 16:55

what a pointless post.

kenadams86 · 14/04/2023 16:56

About 2300??

Lastnamedidntstick · 14/04/2023 16:56

I’d say about 3000 as a rough estimate.

1000 for the mcD’s
1000 for the McFlurrys and biscuits.
1000 for the porridge/ swirl and drinks

IrregularChoiceFan · 14/04/2023 16:57

I don't know, how many?

Willowtre1 · 14/04/2023 16:59

I reckon higher than pp, around 5000?

MolkosTeenageAngst · 14/04/2023 16:59

Around 2400.

Porridge depends on size of portion and how much syrup, anywhere between 100-maybe 250 calories.
Starbucks calories probably around 800.
McDonalds calories around 1200.
Butter biscuits around 200.
Maybe 50 calories max for two cups of tea.

Viviennemary · 14/04/2023 17:01

Its like guess the number of sweets in a jar at the village fete.

TheRealShatParp · 14/04/2023 17:04

My guess would be about 5000?
