opas Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 We have nibbled our way through a 150 gr tub of Grattons de Canard this afternoon. As there aren't any calorific values on the pack, do I take it we have got way scot free?[Www][:$] Perhaps I should post this in the health section incase I need my arteries unclogging ........oh I think we did that with the red wine[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opas Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Oooooh yes, not as hard though but much more taste. Are they meant to be nibbled as we did or cooked to go in a warm salad? Not that I intend buying them often you understand, price and fat content will see to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumGirl Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I just nibble away.Opas, the rule is, if you eat them while you're standing up, preferably over the sink, the calories do not count at all.If you ate them while sitting at a table, I'm afraid you're doomed.If you were on the couch watching television, just halve the presumed damage.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 During our recent abstinence our wine-sugar levels dropped dangerously low and we only managed to retain consciousness by eating chocolate. When taken for medicinal purposes such as this, chocolate actually has negative calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yes, but only if you eat a whole one, otherwise it does not work - a bit like not finishing a course of antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I just had some pringles which didn't contain any calories because i didn't open them!! It's the original popper that takes them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Oddly enough my can of lager has nutritional info on it. Apparently it is fat free so must be good for me! Hurrah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Had 3 large glasses of Baileys & when I checked the bottle it said 327kcal per 100ml. The glass is 200ml+, hell that's a lot of calories[blink] more than in the grattons I should think. Thank God the wine bottles didn't have the calories on. I think the diet has been blown![:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 When you break biscuits all the calories fall out. It's true, I read it on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 That is why you can buy boxes of broken biscuits Dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 If you dip broken biscuits in tea it washes the remaining calories out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to chat, go to the Lounge, you know the rules.Meanwhile, ON topic, I'm eating a calorific curry, but it's such a lovely day that I may just burn it off later, as long as that pesky darkness doesn't descend too quickly.

Cassis Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Ah, but if you read back you'll find that wine is related to wine sugar levels to chocolate to calories. So not off topic. [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
