Should have went to Specsavers !!

I fancied stuffed peppers for tea and after weighing up the calories between rice and cous cous -cous cous won.
Man -75 calories a serving -think I could live off that for life !!

Got home and put specs on and its 754 calories a serving -what a duller -I would be better with a fish supper!!

Who would have thought it ?

[swanko]

well how big is the blinking pepper that it adds up to 754 calories.it must be humongous.

[Drisgirl]

Noooooo -its just the packet of cous cous I bought which serves 2 that said it was 754 per serving -which means thats 1508 calories a pack.
The peppers are normal.Even using just a quarter of the pack -still high in calories.

[eash]

Wow that is a lot for cous cous.

Cous cous is usually low in calories, it must be a huge packet!

[swanko]

not sure what sort of cous cous you have bought but the usual stuff only has 176 calories a cup.

[Drisgirl]

Thats what I though eash -but thats what it says on the back.Its Ainsley Harriotts Moroccan medley.

The packet is 100g uncooked but then it doesnt matter cos its gonna be the same when you pour the water on !

How bizarre -on further inspection there is a band at the bottom which says that its 175 cals per serving-now i'm very confused

[Drisgirl]

cross posted swanko !

[mccfluff]

are you confusing kilojoules with calories?

[Drisgirl]

O jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -I did craft -the packs usually have the calories on the top -aw nooo -how do i get out this one pmsl !!

Thanks lol!!

[Drisgirl]

oops mccfluff ^^^ -just give me a spade !!!!!

[NoMercy]

I'm having a donner kebab tonight. 1065 calories.

Washed down with a couple of gin and tonics.

[mccfluff]

psml, thats a good one!

[eash]

We have that cous cous, it's definitely not that high in calories! I reckon there must be a misprint on the packet!

[Drisgirl]

lol mccfluff !

NM -no way -just rub my nose in it -go on -i'm scraping to save calories here and you waft a doner and alcohol under my nose.Name for the likes of you -tease :)

Anything that looks/ tastes good in life usually kicks you up the arse Dris! lol! x

[swanko]

ahh its probably the water that makes up the other 579 calories.lol

[Drisgirl]

cheeky - I did say that it wasnt because of the water swanko!
eash -honestly it says under energy (i am a master at reading calories usually -have it honed) - 754kj (thats where I was misled) and then under 178kcal.Usually the other way about.

No matter -I shall enjoy now !!

[eash]

lol

[swanko]

just go and stuff your face, and enjoy.lol

[Drisgirl]

Thanks for humouring me in one of my moments lol!!

Sachs -didnt see ya there -its a ******* isnt it -but hey no pain no loss (in this case) lol !!
