So I buy the 100 calorie brownie bites thinking they have miraculously packaged a low calorie brownie.........and to my horror, it's 10 pieces of brownie the size of dimes...... They really shouldn't waste the packaging & I can't believe I wasted my money. Next time I want a brownie, I'm eating a real one....and by that I mean a real big one. :drinker:

    Exactly! They weren't even delicious dimes.

    I have sort of given up on that sort of stuff for now. Haha. But , a container of Jello Pudding is like 110 calories!!! Plus has calcium...and you know it tastes good! If you have to eat something chocolaty, I'm thinking thats the way to go.

    Last night, someone gave me a packaged cookie from a bakery around here. After a big workout at the gym, I said, okay, I'll have a quarter of the cookie. Of course I ended up eating 2/3. It's a big cookie, and yes, it's good...
    but there are 690 CALORIES IN THAT STUPID COOKIE! NO WAY IS THAT WORTH IT! ITS NOT BETTER TASTING THAN LIKE 10 OREOS IN MILK...and I can't eat 10 oreos but........... sorry for that rant.

    I think that this dessert was actually the most disappointing ever.

    You must try the Vitalicious Brownies. Yum!!! 100 Calories each & they are yummy. Find them in the Freezer section of your grocery store. (I buy mine at Target) They're a bit too good. :-)

    Yeah, I'm thinking that you need to save up your calories and eat the real yummy ones once in awhile.

    So I know this is not what the thread is about, and I hope not to derail, but when I saw the topic I had to share this. Tuesday I had this brilliant idea for my Wednesday afternoon snack (so I thought), but it was the most DISGUSTING thing I have ever eaten!!!! And I had to eat it anyway because there weren't any other options at work other than junk. Let me just tell you now so you can ALL learn from my horrid mistake!!! DO NOT EVER PUT CUT UP BANANA IN COTTAGE CHEESE OVER NIGHT.

    If you look carefully, you'll see why they are low calorie. You are supposed to cut 40 servings out of a 9-inch pan of brownies. Sounds a lot like dime-sized to me!

    Yipes! 40? I made brownies last night in a 9 inch pan and the 16 squares I cut were small enough!
