In a Calorie Quandry
Replies
-
I'm trying to figure out how many calories worth of frosting I just ate. Here are the facts, please help:
Baby shower
Costco cake
Cake was cut into approximately 48 pieces
The baby is due on April 3rd
It was not my baby shower
I am not pregnant
I ate:
The frosting scraped off the cake knife after cutting approximately 1/2 the cake
The frosting off the piece of cake the cake server placed on my plate
The frosting that my new best friend Mike scraped off his cake and placed on my plate
I drank:
1 cup of DIET Coke, mostly ice, so subtract those calories :bigsmile:
I did NOT eat:
Any actual cake, so subtract those calories too :drinker:
More facts:
I did not bring my food scale or my measuring cups because I fear the stares of others
I currently have a sugar high that is quickly wearing off
Question:
How much frosting did I eat?
Please note: It would be helpful for me (for today's frositng outing and those yet to come) if you could provide your answer in TBSP and cups
mmmmmmFROSTING
I can't answer that until you tell me what time the train left the station and how fast it was traveling:bigsmile:0 -
Sharing too much frosting with your new best friend Mike can lead to pregnancy.0

680 calories per tablespoon, and about 10 tablespoons equal a cup. Good luck working that off!
:noway:
Even if the Costco frosting has DOUBLE the calories as anything you buy in the cake aisle at the store, it would only be 140 calories per Tb. Where do you get your numbers?
and 16 Tb = 1 cup. I guess that's "about 10" in some estimates?0 -
Frosting without cake is a negative calorie food. Congrats on that.0

Great job for scraping the icing off of the knife and not licking it off. That shows a great deal of self-restraint, at least in my book!0

Sure hope there are some Ron Burgandy fans out there that understood my humor:blushing:0 -
If it wasn't attached to the cake the calories don't count.

I like the people on this thread almost as much as frosting.0
