Depends on how much you enjoyed them.1

Samples are free...lol!
Actually, when I really got honest and accurate and started counting every thing including " a taste" I could not believe how fast it adds up!2 -
Has a hipster even eaten a meal if they don’t instagram it? (Asking for a friend as well).9

You may as well ask if your mortgage or rent obligation exists if you don't pay it, see how that works out for you.4

You mean the calories don't fall out of a cookie when you break it in half? Bummer.10

I'm going to be honest and completely open here and will tell you exactly what the truth is. Trust me on this. NO. The calories don't exist. They go poof and magically disappear. THEN you're allowed to eat everything you want out of the 'if it didn't have calories' thread. And I've never told a lie or even a little fib in my entire life. Never. Not once.

Broken cookies and crackers and chips have no calories.

Nope. They are abstract calories, and as such they remain entirely theoretical.

Nope. Uncounted calories, like imaginary numbers, are used only in theoretical recipes.
As soon as you start eating theoretical foods though, they catch up on you. So be careful.0 -
My Grandson calls calories "delicious points". The more calories something has, the more delicious it will be!2

I couldn’t help feeling a little bit sad that the sentiment expressed here is paving the way for another generation to have issues with weight/food.
I fundamentally disagree (and I’m sure this post will garner its share of disagrees, but to hell with that!)....some of the foods that make me sigh with pleasure and satisfaction are those with minimal calories - watermelon, strawberries, cucumber, apples, and most of all tomatoes!5 -

Minimal, few, low calories yes. Zero calories NO. They do exist and we can see them when we look at ourselves in the mirror

The food I steal from my husband's plate has no calories...just sayin'.8

Uncounted calories die and are reincarnated as fat.
The real answer is that if you didn't count calories for an entire day but counted every other day fairly precisely for a year the uncounted calories would likely disappear into the margin of error.6 -
Uncounted calories are noted as “Ate it all”, then quickly forgotten.0
