How many calories?!?

I bought this brownie mix yesterday because, duh, sweet tooth.


So I made it up yesterday afternoon, sans nuts of course, then actually looked at the calorie count per serving.

400 calories. Per serving.

That's a meal!

So I guess the oh, row and a half I ate once they were cooled means I had about 2 days worth of calories.

The rest are in the freezer, in reasonable serving portions.

I'd buy the mix again--it's actually quite tasty, though somewhat crumbly in spite of all the fat it takes--but I'd substitute unsweetened applesauce for half the fat. Because gluten and corn-free apparently doesn't mean low calorie and healthy. :-P

Isn't that just the case?!?! LOL! 400 calories per serving!??! OH dear!! I guess you'll have to walk to Lemony point and back!! :-)

It's great that there's a pack of it though - that's brilliant!!

Just wondering - are you going dairy free too? Cos I'm sure you can make brownies with gluten-free flour for less calories with a bit of egg (2 eggs?), sugar (over-ripe bananas make a great substitute), dark chocolate (that I swear to all that is holy is good for you!!) and low fat marg!
:-)

Take care

LOL - first lesson learned!
It seems that most of us who go gluten free buy crap food because it has a 'gluten free' label.:-)

There is another blog I follow that you may be interested in. This is another approach to a new diet - it allows some grains, but is still gluten free (and sugar free too) I've made several of Erica's recipes - they all work, they are all easy and so far, all really delicious http://comfybelly.com

OH my COD!!! WHAT a lot of calories!!! BUT sometimes it's worth it..especially when we've been "good" for a long time. We need a treat.
if you cut the fat by using some apple sauce in place of it then your calorie count would be reduced too!
