  Unless you ran to a farm to milk a cow, then to a different farm to pick the fruit and back home, it’s very unlikely to be close to break even.

    You don’t understand what I said then. You do not know the necessary information to make the judgement on whether this will make a person gain weight: you do not know

    • the ingredients in the smoothie (could be fuckin yogurt, milk and berries for all you know, which could be like 100-200kcal)

    Or

    • the amount of calories that person has or will burn that day (if they are in a caloric deficit higher than the calories in the smoothie, it will not cause weight gain)

    The existence of calories don’t automatically cause weight gain, excess calories cause weight gain.

      Lol at the amount of calories you think are in milk yogurt and berries.

        1/4 cup 2% milk: 30kcal 1/3 cup Greek yogurt: 100kcal 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries: 39kcal

        Plus ice

        Total estimated calories: 169kcal

        Which is between 100 and 200kcal.

        Not every smoothie has a bunch of added sugar. I’ve literally made smoothies like this before. That’s how I know. How often do you track calories, my dude?

        I mean, whole milk is 62 kcal per 100ml, plain yoghurt is 66 and berries are another 60… So for a glass of smoothie (I would assume around 20cl), it’s quite realistic for it to be maximum 150 kcal, even accounting for some sugar to sweeten it…

        Or am I totally wrong with my calculation?
