Hello! 28F, SW: 240 CW: 193 GW: 170
I've been on a low-carb diet for a while now but today had a very strong craving for something sweet, so I cracked into a bag of candies I brought back from a trip abroad I took a month ago.
The package says that it contains 185g of candy, and a serving size is 25g, which is equal to 121 calories. It also says there are 7 servings per container.
I start measuring the candy on my food scale, and I notice that a third of the bag is on my scale by the time it hits "one" serving size of 25g. I dump the whole bag into the bowl on my food scale and it says all of the candy in the bag is only 90g.
Now I am not sure how to eat this candy and accurately reflect the calories it contains. Should I continue to assume that the 25g serving is still 121 calories, despite this being a third of the bag? Or would I be better off splitting the candy into seven portions and assume that those 7 portions are 121 calories? Visually, both seem ridiculous portion size wise. If I split the bag into 7 portions, it's literally 4 tiny pieces of candy for 121 calories, which seems off to me. But on the flip side, the 25g of the candy seems like way too much to be 121 too, so I'm not sure how to count this.
Thanks in advance!
