All these options and late at night I still find myself reaching in the fridge for the canola oil.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

It's just so efficient...
People SEVERELY underestimate how many calories are in food. I've seen people online estimate that a snickers bar is only 40 kcal.
That's especially weird with packaged food because it says right on it.
> implying people read nutritional labels.
implying people read nutritional labels closely.
There is nothing more fucking annoying to me than some of the portion size bullshit on packages. Like, when I have a bowl of fruit loops, I'm going to have a bowl, not a tablespoon*. Either give me the whole fucking package worth of calories (which... seriously some people need) or at least be realistic with portion sizes. I know it's an estimate, but I'm pretty sure companies love to make their crap sound better than it is by giving the minimum.
Edit: * - I call out fruit loops but I haven't actually looked them in a long time now, so my example is not real world. As someone paying attention to this across a lot of different products though, it's been really grinding my gears and I needed to rant. XD
I don't know how it is where you are, but here there's always nutritional information per 100g, in addition to the portion sizes. So I always ignore everything but the per 100g, and compare the macronutrient distribution that way
I severely overestimate my calories if it’s food and not booze. I think I’ve been eating 1000-1300cal daily, but I really gotta not drink more than I eat.
beer is the thing that really tips the scales in my life. god damn you wonderful precious fermented grain water give it to me
Liquid bread
liquid bread..... with drugs :)

I’m guessing a mini is that or higher. Who’s teaching these people nutrition??
no one. that's the problem.
In America? No one.
According to the post, 41 grams of snickers has 200 calories. 40 kcal or 40000 calories is 8.2kg of snickers. If anything they would be vastly overestimating the amount of calories...
1 kcal = 1 "food Calorie", yes it's confusing.
Ok, so TIL, but also the post has 200 cal, not Cal which would be kcal.
Edit: Ok I'm wrong. It says Cal
How the fuck does artificial sweetener have more calouries than sugar?
Surprised by onions.
I'm hungry now.
Generally they're something on the order of 400x as sweet as sugar so it takes a negligible amount to sweeten an item compared to sugar, hence low calorie
They are all 200 caloreies, so needs lots of sweetener packs to get to 200 calories
Baby carrots continues to be the goat of the snack world.
I prefer the lunchbox peppers/mini peppers but they cost way more than baby carrots. Usually chopping up extra carrots into sticks to snack on works well enough for me.
Baby carrots and celery sticks are amazing
Goat meat and baby carrots 🤤
Happy to see that fried chicken apparently goes 1 to 1 with white bread.
72g of Chicken Sandwich = 72g of French Bread Roll.
I wonder how long I could survive on canola oil.
Until malnutrition properly sets in lol
Your body is going to have plenty of essential fatty acids and calories sure, but there's no vitamins, amino acids, or minerals in pure oil. I can't tell you how long it will take before those really set in, but you're probably going to start feeling quite shit quite quickly
..Not to mention your bowel movements are going to be... Slippery
What I get from this is that I am not eating nearly enough mini peppers or Jack in the Box.
I looooove sweet peppers. I can eat them alone with no dip. Cronch
