    Are you in a position to walk a mile?

    You could cut it into four pieces, eat a quarter of it, log it at 250, walk a mile, log 100 calories against it, and 150 calorie splurge isn't that bad.

    Buy a small one? When I want some, I just buy the fridge packaged stuff, but my kids help me eat them.

    find a cinnamon roll that isnt 1,000 calories.

    pillsbury grands with icing are 360 each.

    one from starbucks is 420cals.

    dunkins coffee roll is 400 cals.

    or get the cinnabon one and split it in half.

    you have options.

    in the words of tim gunn....make it work.

    About 300 calories per roll, if you're even-handed with the cream cheese icing and distribute it equally.

    eta: Found in the frozen foods aisle at your local grocery (or Walmart).

    create one using brown rice flour :D im sure you can find something online to do that.

    or come up with a substitute, downing a glass of water might help.

    What mile burns 100 net calories when walking it?

    I made a "cold soup" last night in the processor of a banana and a cup of yogurt and threw a lot of cinnamon in it. It was sweet and tasty and more healthy than a cinnamon roll.

    But shame on you for bringing cinnamon rolls into my head. ARRGH!!!! :sad: :wink:

    I was thinking the same thing. I usually have to hit about 6 miles over the course of the day to hit 100 calories on my Jawbone. Even if I did it all at once, I think 100 calories per mile is a gross overestimation for most people.

    You should find out how many actual calories are in it and
    1) work out a little to offset some cals.
    2) maybe cut in in half and have the rest tomorrow.
    3) maybe if you're over a small amount have less of something tomorrow.

    walking at 4mph, I burn up 100 calories in about twenty minutes. Per my HRM, per MapMyRun, per MFP database.

    Increase your pace.


    and to OP, just eat the cinnamon roll. Making yourself miserable doesn't burn extra calories, and is more likely to make you say, forget this whole thing.

    Work it into your numbers.

    I walk a 16min mile, which is awfully close to 4mph. The MFP estimates are notoriously very high, but plenty of people use them so I guess it's not a big deal.

    Make them at home. They're not that bad. I use this recipe and it came out to 264 calories each and it makes 6. I substituted Betty Crocker whipped cream cheese icing because that's what I had.

    http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2014/03/quick-cinnamon-rolls-small-batch/

    Also they only take about a hour.


    eta: oh, but the person who wrote the recipe doesn't know how to do the filling. Instead of her method, melt the butter and brush it on the rolled out dough. Then mix the cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar and sprinkle that over the melted butter. Less mess and tons easier.

    Work it into your numbers.

    All of those report gross, not net, calories and overestimate. Walking 4 mph for 20 minutes is also 1.333 miles, not 1 .... 4mph is 15 minutes per mile. Nice try though.

    .3 calories per pound lbs per mile net ... or about .53 calories per pound per mile gross

    For a 200 lb person to net 100 calories requires over 1. 5 miles walking.

    I wanted an apple turnover for about a week and kept not getting one.

    And then one day I got a four pack and ate them all in 24 hours.

    Go get the mini.

    If you really want a "replacement" for that yummy cinnamon goodness, here's one of my favorite breakfast treats that doesn't ruin the entire day. Toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread (or any type that you enjoy eating). Spread a thin layer of light margarine on each piece. Sprinkle both slices with a generous helping of cinnamon & stevia sweetener. (And if you have room in your intake numbers for the day, eat a few more slices! Why not, right?!)

    Bread (2 slices, generic store brand):
    110 calories // 2g fat // 400mg sodium // 32g carbs // 4g fiber // 6g sugar // 8g protein
    Country Crock Light Margarine (1.5 tbsp):
    75 calories // 7g fat // 143mg sodium // 0g carbs // 0g fiber // 0g sugar // 0g protein
    **stevia can be around 3g of carbs depending on whether it's "in the raw" or not**

    One Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll:
    880 calories // 36g fat // 830 mg sodium // 127g carbs // 2g fiber // 59 g sugar // 13g protein

    And if you want to eat the actual roll, go for it! Just do what other people have already suggested and enjoy yourself, be happy, and adjust back to healthier habits the next day. :) Best wishes!
