Did you know that mashed potato eaten off a spoon contains zero calories I heard it on the radio yesterday, I believe it was that Chris Evans blokie

[Hazel at the Hill]

1oz of white mashed potatoes contains 28 calories, acording to Fitday.com

A slice of buttered toast loses all it's calories when it is cut in half, apparently they all fall out of the cut edges

Ooh, and there are no calories in broken biscuits either

[MaureenHall]

Food off someone else's plate also has no calories for you, they belong to the other person

[HeyWayne]

Someone said something along the lines of "I've never seen a calorie - I don't think they exist".

I'm inclined to go along with them.

[Rhona]

Lol. Peanut butter licked off a knife has zero calories too accordingly to erm... me. I've also decided that if a walnut half is dipped in Belgian Chocolate (half price at Tesco), then it's still MOSTLY a healthy choice. Even nine of them.

You know with all our 'knowledge' we could start our own version of Fitday.com. Deluded.com? Staychubbythen.com?

Yup, my dad always used to say, "What you can't see can't hurt you".

Shame he died of radiation poisoning.

[Brengirl]

and I always say a little of what you fancy does you good again and again and again

[FionaH]

Mushrooms and vanilla icecream
Spinach -mint ice cream etc...........

...and I assume that conclusively and scientifickallie proves my 'you can never get full on mashed potato' theory. And why Andrea can have it on toast, and...erm... Well, that's it for the mashed potato tie-ins. For now.

I think a nice sponge cake fresh from my oven carries less weight than out of season strawberries. How do I work that out, well. The out of season strawbs have all those air miles on their back so thay have got to be heavier right........

Thank you - I knew I was right all along

Add ketchup of course as one of your five a day

[Nicos]

Did you know that if you eat snacks twice as quickly then they're only half the calories!!

[OverWyreGrower]

Chris Evans has also said that there are no calories in crisps if eaten after 10pm....

Good thinking that man!!
