    Which number is Correct

    Today I was gonna add 1tb of olive oil to my protein shake. I want to keep the fat cal's at 20% of my total cal's. The info label said that 1tb had 125 cal's. 14 grams of fat, 1.9 grams sat fat. But it also said cal's from fat 125. Which number do i use?
    14 grams of fat or the 125 cal's from fat towards my 20%

    Surely you can't be serious! Splenda too?

    If so, I have to say I can relate to Dalila -- no wonder I'm stalling!

    WHY WHY WHY does the package say 0 calories then? Jeez!

    If i only used one little packet a day I wouldn't flip out, but I add 3 to my oatmeal and about six to my coffee, and maybe 2 to unsweetened applesauce if I have some that day. And well... that crap starts adding up.

    7 calories per how much? per gram? per packet? per teaspoon?

    He means from booze - sugar alcohols are a different animal and have no calories really, they are chemical derivatives of sugar.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    Haha, seriously - I flipped out, thinking, "Shit, now I have ot cut out splenda too? When will this madness end!"

    Since I don't drink I guess I don't have to worry about alcohol sugars.

    I don't think so pony...
    Sugar Alcohols are a filler used by a lot of protein bar manufacturers to cheat and understate the caloric numbers and add flavor. Metabolically these are real calories but they technically do not fall cleanly into a "carb", "protein" or "fat" characterization and therefore are exempt from the nutritional labeling laws. Make no mistake about it - those calories are there in these food grade alcohols.

    BTW, some of the artificial sugars also mimic real sugar so closely that they produce a glycemic response as if you ate sugar and that my friends is BAD. An insulin response it an insulin response regardless if there is a caloric load. Our metabolism is governed by a complex matrix of hormonal switches and insulin is one of the strongest hormones of them all and a biological switch for fat burning. Except for those of us deliberately trying to spike our insulin post workout for a amino acid/nitrogen pump into muscle tissue most should try to moderate insulin very evenly over the course of the day so we have an opportunity to burn fat. Once it becomes elevated - kiss fat burning bye bye.

    Oh, I dunno, contemplating the universe, getting caught up in running a home owner's association and putting up with idiots, political weasels and gossipers and in general giving my precious life's time to people who are unthankful for volunteer work and who demand I be around 24 hrs a day to take care of their lazy and complaining fat asses. Wohoo that was a long senstence. Sorry you asked I bet lol. Felt good to get that out of my head though...

    Focusing on life style now. Trying to get back to a point in my life where I can actually make some income again for my time instead of giving it all away for free. With the economy being so flat I kind of miss $200/hr consulting fees and these damn hurricanes are busting up my real estate investments. All this bad weather is starting to make a significant dent into my life style - Cuban cigars and lobster diving are getting to be luxuries anymore. Imagine that... Sigh.

    Thanks for asking,
