The app is emotionless, she can't hurt you!

You know what, as long as its a once in a while thing. Dont sweat it. Judgy calorie counting apps can suck it. You do you!

Everybody knows that, if it’s your birthday cake, it doesn’t have calories.

"I know what I have to do"

"but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it ...maybe another slice of birthday cake will give me the energy I need!??!”

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's the point where you just accept defeat and don't enter your calories for that day, telling yourself you'll somehow make up for it by not eating anything for the next 72 hours

[–] 0xD 3 points 8 months ago

No need to make up for it, just continue the deficit normally :) Consistency is what matters, and breaks are totally fine as long as you are moving towards your goal!

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

It's always somebody's birthday somewhere.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

If it's no one's birthday, it's just a cake...

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wife and I ate her entire birthday cake in 2 days last month.

The Baker says cake is good for 3-5 people.

Nutrition label goes servings: 8, 800(?) cal a slice.

You: fuck it. Birthday binge.


I've been there and learned.

Cut into servings. Take out 4 servings (2 people x 2 days) freeze the rest in slices so you can space it out.

You're telling me one slice contains the energy of 1kg of fat? What kind of monstrous cake was that?!

[–] creamlike504@jlai.lu 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is cake still good after freezing

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Damn straight it is. Every cake I've frozen has been fine 3 months later. I usually try and do a slice a week. Gone within 2 months.

Most cakes freeze quite well and can stay fresh-tasting from the freezer for up to a year (hence the wedding cake tradition!), though they’re usually best within three to four months of freezing.

How long does cake last in the fridge?

[–] creamlike504@jlai.lu 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you eat it straight from the freezer or does it have to thaw out in the fridge first?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I move it over the night before. You can just leave it out for a few hours I think

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

not sure what kind of fatty icing sugar monstrosity you've been eating, but 8.8kcal per slice is beyond absurd and no wonder you've had to adjust your lifestyle.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I just threw a number in. No idea what cal should be.

400 ish i guess.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

My original intent was the bakers slice, 1/3 or 1/5 of a cake would be 800 but I fucked it up

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I was a silly goose once, expecting people to show up for my birthday...so i ordered 3 cakes.

We ended up eating all 3 in 2 days with just the two of us.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Jail for you.
