Hidden calories in coffee creamers

I read this a while back and was really shocked by it.

Basically, it talks about how the manufacturer is able to round down the amount of sat fat, calories, etc on the labels. Combine that with the fact that a serving size is 1 tsp (who really only uses one tsp?). You may be adding way more calories to your drink then you think you are.

yeah, i'd heard something like that.

lol i usually just double the amount of creamer that i THINK i've added. but i do that with a lot of stuff. my husband calls it 'reverse cheating' - where i round my calories eaten up and my calories burned down!
