I am convinced that I would never again eat fast food if they changed their menus so that you couldn't order items by name, but rather were forced to order by their calorie content.
"Yes, I'd like the 750 calorie with a side of 375 calories. Oh, and could you go ahead and add an extra 250 calories just for kicks (aka: super size it)?"
Most of the time, I live in calorie ignorance. Which is not good. But at the moment? I am back to counting and calculating all of those nasty little things.
So this morning, I go to get a granola bar. Of course, I flip the box to the side to check out all the particulars. These granola bars come two to a pack. Now you can eat both bars as your serving which is nice. But notice what happens when you eat both bars at one sitting compared to just eating one bar:

It's a calorie-stacker wrapper. Wonder if it's the same for snack crackers....calorie-stacker cracker wrappers...hmmm
I am not as obsessed with calorie counting as I am with just making better choices. Do you remember the stuff we used to eat as college roommates??? You never seemed to gain a pound...I gained your share and mine. :-)
That 10 calories comes from the crumbs that fall to the bottom of the wrapper. Technically, it should say 1st bar, 90 calories, 2nd bar, 100 calories, because whoever eats the 2nd one will get those extra 10 calories!!
