What do you mean? It’s only 25 calories for 1 serving (1/100 of a bag).
Get out
This is me over and over again in the grocery store. Apart from the munching first, that is.
As someone trying to gain weight, I’d love me some 2500 calorie potato chips
Kcal… 2,500,000 calories
So 2500 Calories. 1 Calorie = 1kcal = 1000 calories. Follows the rule of anything but metric.
Why is this downvoted? 1kcal = 1000 cal. So 2500kcal = 2500 * 1000 cal.
It is, which is only 2,500 Calories (like, the ones on food)
It’s a crappy system where kcal and Calories are the same thing even though they sound like they are off by a factor of 1000
Yes, 2500 Calories with a capital C. 2500 Calories = 2 500 000 calories. So the correction is valid, but for some reason being downvoted.
Probably because it’s unnecessary and pedantic. No one is confused when someone is technically incorrect and types “calories” when talking about food.
From the Wikipedia link above
In the United States and Canada, in a nutritional context, the “large” unit is used almost exclusively.
In the European Union, on nutrition facts labels, energy is expressed in both kilojoules and kilocalories, abbreviated as “kJ” and “kcal” respectively.
So yeah, it’s confusing if you’re not American.
Fair point, I suppose non-Americans could be confused. But given the context, I still think this instance was very clear, and therefore the correction needlessly pedantic.
It’s actually Frankenstein’s monster
Actually, Frankenstein was the monster.
It’s a constant struggle😭 But that’s why you be good so you can give yourself guilt free cheat days! xD
If you can be good 80% of the time, you’ll see progress. Been losing weight for a year, down 35 lbs. Love me my cheat days.
I use a calorie counting app, and since you never exactly hit the goal, I add up the leftover calories I have every day and spend them on cheat meals once in a while. That way it’s not really cheating.
I built this personal pizza with hard faught salads and bean dishes.
I have never taken any notice of calorie content. If I want it, I’m eating it.
So brave
