Really craving a cinnamon roll

Cottage cheese with cinnamon on top (I never thought I would like it but I do), or oatmeal (you can add some apple to it and it's really good (granted I love oatmeal).

Do you have good Cinnamon in your house? I love Penzy's Vietnamese Cinnamon...I would suggest getting some...if you live near a store go check out all their types and have it on hand for the whole wheat toast or oatmeal or baked apple.

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).

I came here specifically to suggest these! I just made some of these for breakfast this morning. I make them at least once a month. 300 calories per roll, including frosting. Only like 230 without. And they're the most amazing cinnamon rolls ever.

You could have one of these with a banana & a cup of coffee & it would still be a <500 calorie breakfast. WORTH IT!

What? The ones we get from the grocery store are like 150-300! Definitely doable.

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.

What mile burns 100 net calories when walking it?

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.

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.

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.

Seriously you are going to be nitpicky over a third of a mile? the point was increase the pace... which is generally true...


In any regard, back to the OP... I agree with the others... get one that isn't 1000 calories (unless that was just a hyperbole) and just eat it... No use depriving your craving for you to binge on it later and eat more than 1000 calories...

i would just eat it and adjust the rest of week.

I only came on this post to see the cinnamon roll food porn. Slightly disappointed........

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.

They are pretty accurate for me, verified with my BodyMedia.

Here ya go:

Now that's a beautiful thing.

Oh yeah!!!

You can get the lower fat kind...bake them at home and have one of those...or find one with fewer calories. Or buy the one you want, eat part now and save the rest?
