I found this old cover. I ended up finding an escape in North Vancouver.
Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 27
I had an OMG moment while reading the label of a Burnt Almond chocolate bar. On Friday afternoon, I was feeling really in need of a chocolate fix and I wondered just what I was up against. They were on sale, which made the cost was OK but, I read that there were 200 calories in 38 grams. The bar itself weighed 100 grams. On the front of the package was a big 200 calories label.
I’m standing there trying to figure out 100/38 * 200. I guessed 500, but I just realized that I could have simplified to 50/19 which is almost 50/20, which is 5/2 which is 2.5 calories per gram which works out to 500 calories for the whole candy bar. My calculator says 526.3157895.
My snack calorie limit is 250 and there’s not a chance in hell I could have held off from eating the whole hundred grams.
I left the store without buying anything.
Who knew that reading nutrition labels could put you off your food?
