great trade-off

Post by finallyfull » Sun May 09, 2010 8:52 pm

As I was sitting down to an amazing slice of Godivah chocolate cheesecake today, which I enjoyed thoroughly, I realized that I could have had one teeny snack every day and it would have added up to about the same calories. But the little snacks (say, a bag of 100-calorie dried out cookies) would have left me unsatisfied every single day and not been 1/100th as delicious or satisfying. Instead, I feel pampered like a queen.

Duh!

Happy Mother'S day everyone!

So, did you eat at The Cheesecake Factory (only place I can think of that has Godiva chocolate cheesecake)?

Nope -- it was Barnes & Noble. At least they told me it was Godiva. It was superdelicious.

I think B&N gets their cheesecake from CF. Anyhoo, I hate those dried out 100 calorie packs! So unfulfilling.

I do, too. CF supplies several other chains with cheesecake.

Your comparison is not too far off.
100 calorie pack multiplied by 7 days = 700 calories
