    Eat a cupcake...enjoy your life. Run a couple extra blocks.

    Do you realize how many extra blocks she would have to run to offset the calories in a cupcake?

    First item in search for "cupcake" per MFP: 250 calories

    A 150 pound person (no idea of her actual weight...somewhat random number here) running at 5 mph for an hour burns about 540 calories. That's 28 minutes of running to burn 250 calories. (Ignoring the lesser issues such as burning fewer calories throughout the day after cardio, the possible impairment of recovery from strength training, etc.)

    I'm not saying it isn't a viable solution, but it's important to know what's involved.

    (Sorry, this rant is most likely the result of too many times reading things like "Go ahead and eat that extra Chipotle burrito, just do some extra situps tonight" without realizing that someone would have to do 1,600 situps in 2.5 hours to burn the 900ish calories.)

    Dagnabbit...now I want a cupcake.

    How many calories did you burn creating this educational rant?

    Not many, but I'm currently trying to put on some weight so no worries. However, that's five minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

    We have a bakery here called the Divine Cupcake.....you can get no sugar added, gluten free, vegan all that stuff and their cupcakes are to die for and all healthy and most low calorie. If I crave something I will have a small amount of it so my craving goes away and I stop obsessing about it. I'm not much of a cupcake person but I LOVE pie so that is my weekness :bigsmile:

    When I have a craving I make Yum Yum Brownies. All it takes if a 12 cup muffin pan, 1 can of Libbys pumpkin and a devils food cake mix. Whisk cake mix to get out lumps then mix in the pumpkin until its smooth. It will look funky but dont add anything else to it. Spread evenly into 12 muffin cups and cook at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Only 181 calories apiece!! Totally satisfies craving!!
