Will I gain weight from 5 fudge bars?

Each fudge bar is 80 calories and I'm still under my goal of 1200 but I have 400 for dinner. The reason I'm eating this many is because I've had my wisdom teeth out and I can't eat any solid food. I'm just concerned about the dairy and sugar

I can guarantee that if you eat 5 fudge bars and nothing else, you will definitely not gain weight.4

If you're still below your maintenance calories for the day, then no you won't gain weight.
While you're recovering and stuck with a restrictive diet after surgery, I wouldn't worry about it for a little while. Eat what you can to get some nutrition and calories in and let your body heal for now. :flowerforyou:6 -
No - likely not.
But did you not know you were going to have your wisdom teeth out? Why are fudge bars your only option for soft food?!?6 -
i can't imagine a fudge bar being a go-to meal after mouth surgery. what about soup or mashed potatoes?4
-
I don't think 5 would do it but guaranteed 6 would19

Curious post..... 80 X 5 = 400 calories. Was it a test to see if we could do basic math?
The post should be about why the poster is not eating anything else?1 -

Are you lactose intolerant or diabetic?2 -
A finger of fudge is just enough to give the kids a treat.6

Why that in particular?

It wont affect your weight but might rot the rest of your teeth.
Seriously though there are probably more nutritional things you could eat. Soup, mash potato, poached eggs, or protein shakes are a few that spring to mind.
Having said that if it makes you feel better and is within your calorie goal then why not.6 -

The only thing that would make you gain weight if you ate above your MAINTENANCE calories continuously for many days/weeks/months in a row.
Eating 5 fudge bars won't make you gain weight unless you eat them after you have eaten your *maintenance* calories for the day.
You could have approximately 20-23 fudge bars without gaining weight.4 -
How would dairy and sugar make you gain weight if you are still eating under your (very few) calories?? Logic??

OP just had her wisdom teeth out. She can eat whatever she wants. I was delirious for days after I had mine out.4

You can eat fudge bars for tea if you want, it won't make you gain weight. But if that's all you eat for your tea, you'll be pretty hungry. How about a compromise? Have some soup, then a couple of fudge bars afterwards.1

Oh my! When I had my wisdom teeth taken out it was horrible. It was probably 2 days before I could deal with food. I remember only eating a little jello the first few days. Eat what you are able to eat and don't worry about the calories while you mend!3

I'm impressed they got the fudge bars in. After my wisdom teeth came out, my jaw was so painfully stiff I couldn't even get a teaspoon in my mouth. I wound up licking the chocolate baby food from the spoon in tiny licks like a kitten. (My family thought this was utterly hilarious.) I lived off chocolate baby food, chocolate ice cream, and vanilla yogurt for a week.3

Actually, you are not supposed to use straws for the first few days after an extraction. It puts you at risk of loosening the clot and prolonging the time it takes to heal. This is the one of the reasons they also tell you that should not smoke for at least 24 hours after getting the tooth/teeth extracted (not to mention decreasing the blood supply and adding potential contaminants to the area).
Both of these increase the risk of dry socket which can be pretty painful and is a result of the clot getting dislodged.5 -
Are you absolutely positive each bar is 80 calories?0

Really??? I had all 4 out and was fine by the next day. Had a cbeeseburger and fries. I guess everyone heals differently.0 -
Maybe. If you've been eating low carb and now indulge in carbs, then water retention will happen and cause weight gain.

2 weeks before I could even chew soft broccoli for me. Horrible!0 -

Don't listen to these other people telling you you should have had soup or mashed potatoes. If you are under your calorie goal, you will not gain weight. Plus anyone that's had any kind of mouth surgery should eat WHATEVER feels good to them that day. The end.
