I eat lunch at work two days a week (feast days) and often on these days I will treat myself to a mini 70% cocoa Green & Black's dark chocolate bar (206 cals).
However, these were out of stock today, so instead I grabbed a delicious Kinder Bueno after spotting '123 calories' on the packet. The queue snakes around Waitrose in a set route so you have quite a bit of time pressure which makes decisions more rash, which is why I usually plan.
It seemed to make sense to me that a KB was 123 cals though, as they're so light. This gave me an extra 80 cals to play with so I also upgraded my big packet of chicken pieces to a wholemeal chicken sandwich, along with my usual fruit salad of kiwi, strawberry, papaya and pineapple (96 cals).
Big mistake.
Just happily devoured and enjoyed my Kinder Bueno and then realised they are 123 calories PER BAR. Who only eats one stick?! Nobody, that's who.
What an idiot.
Supposed to be cooking a chicken kiev with sweet potato and celeriac mash and cabbage with lardons tonight, followed by a mini Twister, but am now 230 cals over TDEE including dinner. I am going to have to drastically reduce my portion and forgo my ice lolly if I'm going to stand any chance of staying within 1500 cals!
Oopsies. At least it was delicious.
