For the love of the shakes
Wait. That’s illegal.
gaining then
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.
Lol at the amount of calories you think are in milk yogurt and berries.
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?
I think you’re right in this argument, but that’s a tiny smoothie. It’s barely more than a cup.
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?
Unless you’re making someone else drink it, then it’s anyone’s guess
