Devon style - cream first, then raspberry or blackcurrant jam.
You are normally right
But on this, this...is just wrong
Educate me.
Well cream is a topping ...hence it goes on top
Also you want the soft cream to hit the roof of your mouth first as the scone hits the taste buds on your tongue and them squish together to get strawberry jam goodness
Seriously ev. I thought you did science
This isn't science. This is hardcore food porn. <drool>0 -

I am trying to be a little endian, but if I eat too many of those scones I will remain a big endian.0 -

Your best bet is to just worry about eating clean and drinking half your body weight in ounces of water each day. Your BMR doesn't stay the same. (As you stated) The better fit or unfit you become you would need to recalculate everything. Temperature also changes your BMR so to go strictly off of a calculation like TDEE would need to be an estimate only. Don't even bother with that. Stay away from whites (rice, bread, pasta). These should only be eaten for special occasions. Replace these with Ezekiel bread, quinoa, etc. Get creative with your veggies, no butter. Your veggies should be the biggest portion on your plate.
The OP lost me after this.

My mom loved the scones when she visited England on holiday. I'd like to make some for her at Christmas. Can you recommend a recipe?0 -
Sometimes I think that MFP is one of those organizations funded by Coca Cola (you know the message -- all about exercise, and just eating "right" amount of calories, doesn't matter what you eat.) Go for it I say -- just try eating crap to your calorie macro and see how you feel, and how much exercise you are motivated to do. I eat to my calories AND my macros. The combination keeps me health and feeling satisfied. When my macros get out of balance for ME then I have a hard time sticking to my food plan and calorie plan. (PS my macros are higher protein/lower carb, cause that's how I feel best and most motivated to stick to my calorie macros).
Lol, I do see how you would get that impression due to the food porn, but I don't see people actually advocating diets predominantly of junk. Although people do toss out the Twinkie Diet reference, I haven't seen anyone actually doing similar.0 -

Speaking as a long distance cyclist ...
I will have the same energy if I eat 100 calories of French Fries as I would if I ate 100 calories of veggies ... but I'd prefer to go with the 100 calories of French Fries to fuel my long rides. There would be significantly less of them.

Funny thing is ... I don't particularly like scones and clotted cream, but I've been craving them for about 2 months. My husband uttered the words, "I might make scones" about 2 months ago ... and the idea has been rattling around in my head since.
Those, in the picture, look really good right now.

Am I the only one who never had clotted cream and is a bit leary about the name?0

Oh, thank goodness I'm not alone.
I think of clotting as something blood does - clotted cream sounds revolting.0 -
I need an explanation of clotted cream. Is it like sour cream?0

I'm kind of with you, though I'm sure I'd probably love it. It sort of sounds like what yoghurt does when you forget it is in the fridge...0 -

It's a very thick cream. Basically directly between whipped cream and butter. The higher fat content like butter, the sweetness of whipped cream, a consistency between the two.0 -

The name did turn me off too when I first heard it (we don't have clotted cream in Canada ... or at least, it's not common), but my Australian husband explained what it was. It's actually not bad ... I had some with my caramel cheesecake on Saturday night.

Then i would suggest that is how you interpret the information. If you want to look at semantics, yes you can lose on a diet of junk food (i.e twinkie diet) but no one ever would suggest that. Commonly we promote a diet full of variety, foods that are nutrient dense (probably 80 to 90% of them), finding a diet that is sustainable and if you have calories left over then go ahead and have a treat.
Personally, i was eating a klondike on a nightly basis, but decided to give it up once i really bumped up my lifting routine. I made this decision as i needed greater volume of food. So now i do grapes with cool whip. Same calories, both good (obviously klondike > grapes) but the volume is much greater on the grapes.0 -
I eat 80% "clean" (nutrient dense) and 20% of whatever I want (you don't get extra credit for eating over your macro goals) while staying within calorie limits.............................for years. Health is more than just about eating. If one suffers from lack of rest, stress, health issues (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes), bad environment, risk behavior (smoking, high risk sports, etc.) is unhappy, just eating "clean" isn't going to fix those issues. And they involve having an overall healthy outlook.Sometimes I think that MFP is one of those organizations funded by Coca Cola (you know the message -- all about exercise, and just eating "right" amount of calories, doesn't matter what you eat.)
