    Will you get sick? I have no idea. Have you cut out sweets for a long period of time? Does it contain ingredients you're allergic too? Is it a reasonable size piece compared to the typical volume of food you consume in a single meal? You might and you might not. A piece of cake can fit into calories if it's a reasonable size piece.

    But, there's one problem all I did is I have stomach ache it tastes amazing but I do not know what how much better has how much saturated fat has if it hasn't rained yet don't know the ingredients list don't know how many sugars is in it don't know how many carbs are in it don't know how much sodium is in it don't I don't know how much fiber is in it is well so I'm kinda and you know in a place

    What does the rain have to do with the question of if you should eat cake? Does the meringue not set because of the humidity?

    If you are this concerned then just skip the cake.
    I can eat one piece of cake without getting sick. I don't have to make it into a sandwich or know every ingredient.

    Just asking should I go for it because I know a 4-ounce muffin and has about 32 grams of sugar I can eat it and still want more after that so the reason why I'm adding the bread is so the fiber from bread makes the cake more filling.

    No one can answer this for you. Do you like it? Does it fit into your calorie and nutrition goals for the day? Do you feel good after eating it? If the answer to all three is "yes" then it sounds great. If the answer to any of them is "no" then you might consider eating something else. But it's a choice that you have to make based on your own goals and preferences.

    Nope. Absolutely out of the question. No cake for you!

    But you added an extra 200 or so calories to that cake......

    Eat what you like within your calories. Simple. How are we supposed to know if something will make you sick? Protein fiber and fats are filling.

    The only reason why I even brought up sick is it because someone else out there may have had a bad experience with eating some cake or some other type of dessert and got sick from the amount of sugar or got sick after eating it whether it be a few minutes later or a few hours later.

    I'm sure many people have, but context is important in any conversation. Do you have any allergies or intolerances? Many people get sick if they eat a cake with an ingredient they're allergic to. Will the cake be fresh? Some people get sick if the food they're eating has spoiled. Are you six-years-old and likely to hop yourself up on sugar and run until you puke? That's how my niece last got sick on cake.

    Basically, we don't know why you're concerned about the cake. Some people might have a bad experience with cake but there are reasons for it. Are there any specific reasons you think the cake might make you sick?

    Should I make it into a
    make it more fulfilling by making it a sandwich with whole wheat for more fufillness? besides the fact that I'm going to have a sugar crash later?

    I always find protein and fats more filling than whole wheat bread. For me, a smaller piece of cake and some ice cream on the side would be better than a bread/cake sandwich. I think it would be more balanced too.

    Sounds yummy! I think you should eat the Cake! But not just because it's sitting there but because you're in the mood for cake and it has to be fabulous delicious cake with to die for frosting. Otherwise if you're not into that cake, skip it and wait for better cake to come along.
    @Knightride48

    If you're looking to add fiber you can toss a bunch of ground flaxseed or chia seeds on top of the cake. I've never had a cake sandwich, I can't wrap my head around that. But if we pretend the frosting is the bread and the cake is sandwich fixins then a cake sandwich works for me! :laugh:

    I'm confused by this question. Have you never had cake before?

    I have never met a cake I didn't enjoy (why I'm here). The only thing I can think of making you sick is if it is old and moldy, or if the volume is too big for your stomach. So if you know the volume of your stomach and calculate the volume of the cake using the dimensions you gave us, you could make a good guess of it. If you are worried about feeling sick after, I can't see how a cake sandwich could possibly make that any less likely.

    Eat the cake if it fits your goals.
