How many calories did I eat?

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?

I hope you enjoyed your feast

coffeecupsandwaxmelts · 14/04/2023 17:11

I'd say about 4-5000 calories as Starbucks drinks contain way more calories than you think they would!

BarryK3nt · 14/04/2023 17:14

I guess 3000 calories

Does the closest answer win a prize?

GalileoHumpkins · 14/04/2023 17:24

Is there a prize?

3000

Holeymoleymacaroni · 14/04/2023 17:28

I guess 2250?

OneCup · 14/04/2023 17:28

No idea about calories but you certainly have a sweet tooth! I would counter balance it with lots of savoury stuff: chorizo, kebabs, chips, curry. This I believe would negate the effects of the former :D

ChocChipHandbag · 14/04/2023 17:30

"Vegetable deluxe" sounds like an oxymoron!

3241?

Skankylanky · 14/04/2023 17:32

I'd guess around 3500.

BreviloquentBastard · 14/04/2023 17:34

Most calories I ever consumed in a day was 9500 when my best friend died and I just couldn't stop crying and eating. That was waaaaay more food than this, so I'm gonna say maybe 2500?

Do we win a McDonald's voucher if we get it right?

threewhitelines · 14/04/2023 17:35

A lot but who cares....did you enjoy it? I love an occasionally totally mad junk food day. 🍔🌭🌮🍕🍟

yevrah1102 · 14/04/2023 17:36

Name changed.

@Viviennemary Actually I know someone who did win a car from guessing the correct number of sweets in a very large jar 😬 So it can be done.

In the opening post it states it’s for fun; Why are some posters being so rude and sarcastic. It’s a great question for those who are interested in food intake and calories. Why post just to be mean?

OP said "posting here for traffic and the fun of the replies AIBU attracts." us grumpy fucks are part and parcel of AIBU, if OP knows enough about MN to post for traffic she will have known what to expect...

WonderingWanda · 14/04/2023 17:53

I think at least 500 less than I would have consumed.

ZED55JAX0 · 14/04/2023 17:55

It’s not that bad I think 2500

Findyourneutralspace · 14/04/2023 17:58

I’m going to guess at 3,000

anothername2d · 14/04/2023 17:58

Quick tot up.id say 3500

KittyAlfred · 14/04/2023 17:59

I’d guess around 2800

thymewaster · 14/04/2023 18:01

I imagine a lot of them calories was consumed in the Starbucks alone!

Not sure why anyone would care let alone in faint in horror. You are presumably an adult and can eat what you like.

I’m just reading about poor 16yo Kaylea Titford who was literally fed to her death and neglected by her parents, and died weighing 22 stone and with a 70 BMI, so have limited sympathy today.

Emigratingimmigrant · 14/04/2023 18:06

There is ridiculous amount of threads last few days about weight and diets and I feel like one started it and set off some people with issues....

If you want people to guess, you need to tell them to guess not make it sound like you don't know🙈
