I'd much rather have a protein flapjack or something that's twice the cals but is really going to fill a hole.

Giggity.

Double giggity

Yup totally feel the same, give me 200 filling and nutritious calories worth of apple, peanut butter and grapes over 99 bullsh*t, unfilling, chemically processed Special K bars or whatever other rubbish my TV pedals at me ANY DAMN DAY.

I always try to remember a phrase I once heard: 'Whenever you read 'low-fat' try to read in it's place 'chemical *kitten* storm'.'

Okay so who else cringes every time they seen an advert for the new " healthy 99 cal snack!" I opened a magazine today to find a whole page of these under 100 cal snacks, ranging from Special K bars to fruit wind ups, to mini ice creams to bags of candy. Why is the world so obsessed with calories rather than nutrients and ingredients?? How is it a better option to have a 99cal mini ice cream that is packed full of additives and chemicals with a 20 item long ingredient list most of which you can't even pronounce? Are they really saying these 99cal snacks are better than lets say a snack of 1 apple (70 cals) dipped in organic peanut butter (80 cals) A healthy 150cal snack vs a 99 cal snack packed full of cr*p? Its so wrong how the diet industry just makes money off fooling people... first thing to look at when buying a product is the ingredients, NOT the calories.

EXACTLY!
