    Depends on how many calories you’ve burned and how many you’ve eaten. It could be a break-even smoothie, you don’t know

      Unless you ran to a farm to milk a cow, then to a different farm to pick the fruit and back home, it’s very unlikely to be close to break even.

        You don’t understand what I said then. You do not know the necessary information to make the judgement on whether this will make a person gain weight: you do not know

        • the ingredients in the smoothie (could be fuckin yogurt, milk and berries for all you know, which could be like 100-200kcal)

        Or

        • the amount of calories that person has or will burn that day (if they are in a caloric deficit higher than the calories in the smoothie, it will not cause weight gain)

        The existence of calories don’t automatically cause weight gain, excess calories cause weight gain.

            1/4 cup 2% milk: 30kcal

            1/3 cup Greek yogurt: 100kcal

            1/2 cup frozen mixed berries: 39kcal

            Plus ice and maybe zero calorie sweetener if you want it.

            Total estimated calories: 169kcal

            Which is between 100 and 200kcal.

            Not every smoothie has a bunch of added sugar. I’ve literally made smoothies like this before. That’s how I know. How often do you track calories, my dude?

                Ice has no calories and takes up a lot of space in smoothies. Again, ive made smoothies like this so many times and theyre delicious. Smoothies do not have to be huge – i understand when you’re purchasing one they tend to have more stuff in them to get the value you’re paying, but homemade smoothies tend to be about a cup or so, plus ice.

                To get mathy:

                All of those add up tp roughly 1.1cup without ice

                1.1cup translates to 312ml

                1 can of soda, beer, whatever is 355ml (diff is 43ml)

                If you put ice in a glass, you can easily fill it with a can.

                If you add a decent amount of ice to the smoothie, it’ll be a very reasonably sized smoothie. It may not fill a pint glass, but I do not want to drink that much smoothie lol

            I mean, whole milk is 62 kcal per 100ml, plain yoghurt is 66 and berries are another 60… So for a glass of smoothie (I would assume around 20cl), it’s quite realistic for it to be maximum 150 kcal, even accounting for some sugar to sweeten it…

            Or am I totally wrong with my calculation?
