100 Calorie Packs

Is anyone else out there a 100 calorie pack fiend?

I love the 100 calorie packs. My favorites are the

Milano Cookies,

the Oreo Cakesters,

and the Fudge Stripes.





I realize that some people just don't understand the idea behind the 100 calorie packs.  I frequently get the, "Why don't you just buy the regular pack and only eat 100 calories at a time?" question.

For a few reasons, actually.

1) The little packets are exactly 100 calories.  Which is what I want: 100 calories.  Have you ever looked at the Nutrition Panel and the information reads "about 25 chip" is 135 calories?  First of all, how do I count out "about 25"? "About" was not a fraction I learned in school.  Second, so 100 calories of these chips is equal to...well, y=x and 25=135, so x divided by y is 5.4...then....math was never my strong point...umm, I think 100 (which is z?) divided by 5.4 and you get 18.52.  Right, so 100 calories is "about" 18.52 chips.  Great.  Let me just divvy that s#!t up.  Finally, by this point I figure I've worked off enough energy I can just eat all of the "about 25 chips."

2) If I had enough energy to do all the crap I just figured out in #1 and enough self control to only eat the 100 calories out of a normal bag, don't you think I would be out exercising and buying carrot sticks instead?! I like non-healthy, sugary, sweet snacks, dammit!  At least, this way I'm controlled.

3) A little foil pack the size of my hand causes less guilt.  And less guilt means less stress.  And less stress means a higher metabolism.  Suh-weet!            .....(I actually have no idea if this last part is true, but it could be.)

So there you have it.  Why I love me some 100 calorie packs.
