Diet Cheesecake

Ambrogio1

So.... I think I stayed under my cals yesterday but I am really upset and its bugging me out that I dot if I was accurate on a piece of cheesecake made with splenda. It was a treat and I figured if I stayed under cals I deserved it.
I call the bakery today like a physco asking for the nutrional facts but they didn't have it. So I ask what is a normal cheesecake just subbed splenda for sugar. I searched database and still feel like its off

I wouldnt sweat it!

I put in double, so instead of 1 piece I put two to be safe. Just dislike when I am not accurate or if I don't know facts on what I am eating. what a diff 10 days can make.

Question is. I mean you make a diet cheesecake to target a specific group of people but you don't know nutritional values? Seems odd

I haven't made one for a while, but I made mine with sugar free jello cheescake mix, cottage cheese, and protein powder, with a little milk, put it in a reduced fat graham cracker pie crust, and then added a low sugar fruit topping. I think it was somewhere under 350 calories a slice, and gave me over 20 grams of protein. I've also seen recipes with fat free cream cheese, but I was raised on jello cheesecake, so I like that better.

Safe to say if someone made a cheesecake and just subbed splenda for sugar its roughly 500 cals. If yours was 350

I looked up cheesecake factory, they have a low carb cheesecake made with splenda. 650 calories.

OK. I plugged in the betty crocker cookbook recipe, and substituted everything I could for low fat, sugar free, and low carb. The lowest calorie content I think is possible is 227 per slice (1/16 of the whole cake). That would probably taste awful though; so on a safe side, I'd say no fewer than 450 per slice if it tasted OK. And the better it tasted, the more calories you ate.

iwould rather eat more then not know what I ate.

I will just have to work it in under my daily calories when I want to cheat
