All the recipes for a healthier clafoutis on the internet calls for a 150-160 calorie per 1/8 serving.I didn't have enough berries in hand so I actually halved all the ingredients.Well,the whole thing turned out to be slightly above 600 calories and each 1/8 serving is app. 78 calories.Each serving is the size of a palm,which is quite big.Thing is,I was having a catch up session with mom,and I had two servings at 12am.Due to the fact that I know I won't be putting on weight in one day,and I made them MYSELF so I am aware of the calorie content.But I still feel guilty though,because I could've just stopped at ONE piece,since it's quite big.

    How are you defining what is and is not "okay"?

    Additionally, why are you defining what is and is not "okay"?

    Did you enjoy it? Did you log it?

    You had two servings at 78 calories each? So 156 calories total? I would just log and move on. Nothing to lose sleep over.

    I had to google it since I had never heard of it before. It sounds lovely. Were you over your calories for the day? If not you have nothing to feel guilty about. If you were you still have nothing to feel guilty about. Just log it and carry on.

    You could eat the entire thing almost six times over before you gained a pound. I'd certainly not worry about 156 calories' worth. Do you mind me asking for your recipe? I love clafoutis; cherries are so good this time of year - I had no idea it was so reasonable in terms of calories.
    In summary, in my opinion it's fine, don't worry about it.
    If you cant relax about it, go for a walk, you'll burn those calories in about a mile and a half.

    Ask yourself two questions:
    1. Did it fit within my kcal/macro goals for the day?
    2. Did I enjoy it?

    If the answer is yes, then of course it was an "okay" snack!

    PS - I would love your recipe if you wouldn't mind sharing :)

    Hmm,actually no.But I have been practicing portion control to maintain my weight.And I should have just stopped at one,since it was quite a big piece for one serving.

    You're maintaining at between 300-900 calories a day??????

    You might want to see a physician asap.

    Um, if you're logging accurately and your diary is a true reflection of what you're "eating", you're actually pretty much starving yourself. You don't need to be worrying about a 78 calorie dessert, you need to be more concerned about, you know, not dying.
