First time I calculate calories in home made creme cake
The cake made by my sister Becoz of mother's day
I calculate how many calories in it
I calculate calories in every component then weight it after it been made
It s weight after made 1671 gm in it about 3642 calories
I never imagined it contain such too much calories❕❕❕
It wasn't easy to calculate and it is not very accurate but as much as I can
I eat only 100 gm and that is it
I am glad I calculated it
I try to calculate and know best portion of every food I eat to avoid gaining weight

    Yes, it can be a shock to find out how many calories in various foods. Good for you for calculating :)

    3642 calories / 1671 gm = 2.2 calories per gram - sounds reasonable for cake.

    I once made nanaimo bars which were 5 calories per gram! :o
