For one day only, the calorie genie grants you an extra 1,000 calories. How are you spending it?

    Hijacking over.

    If it were me, either some peanut butter or chocolate chip cookies from Lidl, or a cake or a few packs of Little Debbie Nutty Buddys, or that box of deliriously delicious Russian hazelnut chocolates hidden in back of the pantry, that the new in-laws gave us at our mutual kids’ wedding, or or or........😢

    Okay. That just took ways too long to figure out.

    So, I'll switch out my usual oatmeal with Greek yogurt and fruits (totals between 450-500 kcal depending on the amount of fruits used) for breakfast for a stack of 5 of my pancakes, strawberries, maple syrup and whipped cream. That's +500 kcal (the 5 pancakes come out at around 750 kcal as per my recipe, that leaves me 250 kcal for the strawberries, maple syrup and whipped cream. Not quite as much of it as I'd really like, but enough to satisfy :wink: )

    A 100g package of my favorite chips as an after dinner snack (I usually don't eat after dinner). that's another +500 kcal.

    Those 1000 kcal end up not going all that far too be honest. It's scary how many kcals are in all the yummies I thought about and used to eat without a thought. :tongue:

    Then again, I also had to consider fat overload to prevent GI-distress. But I think by splitting up the added fat to either end of the day, my intestines might just forgive me this once :tongue:


    so meticulous. love it! :D

    What's the difference between this thread and the "if it didn't have calories" thread? :D
    I don't like this 1,000 calorie limit....I prefer the fantasy of zero calories in the other thread.

    But, um, since you asked....pizza...although the amount of pizza I'd like to eat would probably be over 1,000.

    fun to have some type of measure! ha!

    Pasta with butter and a good olive oil, sea salt & freshly ground black pepper. Maybe some freshly grated parmigiano reggiano or a good sharp romano. If fresh pasta, made with durum patent flour and eggs.

    Hmmm.... that can go quick ( a whole jar of peanut buttercan be even more than double that !)
    1.) 975 calories of cashew butter and a cu of unsweetened cashew milk
    2.) Halvah!
    3.) Vegan keto cheesecake
    4.) GF V KETO chocolate chip cookie dough

    Only 1000? That doesn't go far enough to even begin fantasizing. :)

    I'd go very liberal on the peanut butter for a pb&j. And use the rest on whatever Indian curry my heart desires.

    entire recipe comes to 800 calories... would use the extra 200 for an entire can of fat free whipped cream

    Like PTO, you need to use it or you loose it. What are you spending the bonus calories on?

    Dont we already have a thread for for such dreamy situation?

    This one sets limits. My "calories don't matter" dream items are definitely over 1,000 calories haha.

    I'd choose to lose it. I am finally whooshing a large amount of water weight (8.4 pounds so far) and I wouldn't do anything to interfere with it.

    I know. I am no fun.
