I've jsut found a link to the nutritional content of all the amazing things on offer in the bakery. It is DEVASTATING!

I could cry at how many calories are in my favourite things :-(

    I think the same applies for most bakeries.

    I just consider the quality and taste when weighing up if it's worth the hit in calories. ;)

    I've always wondered how people have been able to put these types of things in the database.

    I'm a bit scared to look!

    Edited to add: Oh my God! It's even worse than I was expecting!

    Useful information, though. Thanks OP!

    If I liked pastry I'd eat all of these things pretty much regardless of the calorie content if I wanted to, log it and then adjust elsewhere.

    Those 440 calories of lemon drizzle muffin are totally worth it anyway lol :)

    The labels on the bakery shelves have all the info on them, jam doughnut is your best bet. :love:

    Cheese and onion twist and foccacia slab - ohhhh nom a nom a nom


    Not as bad as I was expecting - however, scary to think pre MFP I would have both of those AND a sausage roll *oinking*

    I think it's a good thing. Look at it this way - knowledge is power. I hate when supermarkets don't publish the nutritional info of their bakery items. It makes me not want to buy them (which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending how you look at it...) With the info though, you can make an informed choice and if you really want something, plan for it and fit it into your diary.

    Zero bakery consumption is my best bet! I knew it would all be bad (because whoever invents zero calorie cake should win a Nobel prize) but i'm surprised at just how calorific some of the things are. And i've just shocked a work collegue who has snarfed a choc cookie and a maple pecan plait with how many calories they just chowed down!

    I had a french apple tart (as its a colleagues birthday). 200 oh-so-worth-it calories. :devil:

    Could be worse. I don't know the size of their pastries, but those tarts for 350ish calories is actually pretty good.
