Calorie Black Hole
Calorie Black Hole
A food that emits no clues as to its Calorie content is a Calorie Black Hole.
Usually it's a scrumptious food that you would like to eat. Offered for free at a table of other delectables. If you had to hazard a guess it's heavier than it looks. It could be 0% or 100% fat, making Calories impossible to calculate on weight. A Calorie Black Hole allows no secrets to escape. Even if you could be certain of it's name, a quick database search indicates a universal range in Calorie content for such a tasty morsel.
You can't even tell if it contains protein?
How to Handle a Calorie Black Hole?
- You could turn the food down, bugger that everyone says it's delicious!
- You could pretend that you didn't eat it, nope.
- You could cancel Calorie Counting for the whole day, a possible option.
Me, I hazard a best guess and just log that. An error in a single food won't make hardly any difference to your weekly Calorie and nutrient averages. As such a Calorie Black Hole may be consumed and enjoyed, guilt free. Just don't fill your Galaxy with them. 😉
