cookie crumbled
one of my favorite snacks are vegan cookies by the Alternative Baking Company. almost every favor is tasty. the lemon poppyseed is my new favorite, but they come in snickerdoodle, pumpkin, peanut butter, etc. almost any flavor you can imagine.
but i almost sabotaged myself. my diet. i looked at the nutrition facts on the back of the packaging and saw that the cookie, and it's an over-sized cookie, had 220 calories. no biggie. i ate half. 110 calories seems like a manageable number and is about the same as my other snack, the dole peaches and creme thing.
while glancing at the other numbers on nutrition facts AFTER eating my half a cookie, i realized that there are TWO servings per container. and that the total for the cookie is 440 calories. unbelievable.
so i'm glad that i didn't eat the whole thing. but angry that the nutrition facts were so misleading. guess i'll be more careful about servings sizes from here on out.
and who knew vegan stuff was so bad for you?
i've thought about cutting meat from my diet, but i could never go vegan. love that butter, cheese, eggs, and all dairy way too much. but i can do without most meats.
