Calories In Tea

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thyre @ 9:41 pm

I will be honest with you, it amazes me that people believe that only eating once per day is healthy. They think that “I’ll just eat a few bites, I don’t want to over eat” and then proceed to have a hand in the cookie jar every 45 minutes.

I don’t know where we got this notion that any thing you can find in the grocery store check out line doesn’t count toward your calories for the day.  Do you know approximately how many calories you’re supposed to have each day?

Let me tell you a story, stop me if you know this:

So Brenda is sitting in her office as Gina walks by with a giant  hyoooooge cup from Wendy’s.

So naturally Brenda says, “watcha got?”
Gina happily replies, ”the new Wildberry Tea, its really good.” Brenda shrugs and says, “sounds like a lot of calories to me?”
Obviously Brenda knows about calories and that drinking your calories is a waste. Anyway back to the story.

So Gina smiles smugly and declares, “its 300 calories, that’s what it said on the menu.” Now she said this knowing that she hadn’t a clue about calories.

Before we move on I want to make it perfectly clear that your MEAL (as in the whole thing) should be about 400-600 calories depending on how many meals per day as well as how many calories per day based on your weight, age, and activity level.

Brenda’s eyes get big and she shouts, “300, that’s freakin’ outrageous!” Gina sheepishly replies, “oh is that a lot, maybe it said 30?”

What in tar nation! I’m glad you know the difference between 30 calories and 300 calories. Just to put it in perspective a Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich with a small Fruit Cup and Unsweetened Iced Tea is just over 300 calories (about 330).

UmmmHmmm I know me too, I would rather eat the sandwich. Meanwhile you know what 30 calories is a cup of cherry tomatoes. Boooooo on that!

So anyway come to find out that the value size tea is 35 not the gigantor one she got which is actually about 150 calories and 30 grams of sugar.

Let this be a lesson to us all, know what goes in your body. Do you know anybody who is calorie illiterate?

AND EAT YOUR CALORIES FOR PETE’s SAKE!!!  🙂
