  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.

    source

    • Banana@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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 think you’re right in this argument, but that’s a tiny smoothie. It’s barely more than a cup.

        That’s a 16 to 22 oz cup, so you’re going to add a lot of ice to water that thing down

      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?

        We’re going to be using different measurements, but the gist of it is that the glass pictured is 16 to 22oz in size. 8oz (one cup) of milk is about 150 calories. Yogurt (plain) is generally the same, unless you use low fat lite yogurt. So just filling the cup with only yogurt and milk is 300 calories. Blueberries are around 80 a cup.

        So there’s just no real way you’re getting a smoothie that size under 200 calories.

    They said it was for enjoyment, so it’s probably not yogurt.

      Then it isn’t for gaining, it’s for enjoyment. My point remains the same, we don’t know whether this smoothie will push this person into caloric excess, and I’m sick of people making asinine statements about things they literally could not know about.

      Additionally, to judge food on whether its purpose is for gaining and losing weight is some eating-disorder-ass shit, which I have no fucking tolerance for. Food is neutral and holds no moral implications, and its purposes extend to fuel and enjoyment, exclusively.

      Seen way too many friends almost die from this kind of rhetoric to not say anything.

        To say it is for gaining is just joking about the fact that it is packed with sugar, which is high in calories.

        Sure, it is hypothetically possible the OP is running such a calorie deficit that a milkshake doesn’t put them over the top for the day. Or maybe it doesn’t contain sugar and is therefor relatively low-calorie.

        But your average person isn’t going to be drinking something that looks like that for its nutritional value. We do it because it tastes good, and we all understand that if we eat that much sugar too often, we gain weight.
