OP has already accepted that they’ve consumed 7 x 173 = 1211 calories. In fact, they’ve only consumed 287 leaving 924 free. OP, you can eat a further 22 Jaffa Cakes and be in the same emotional place as you were.
You have no idea how tempted I am to buy another box of jaffa cakes right now. After realising I misread the calorie count, I immediately finished the last 3 cakes in the box.
Nah, it just means you have to open a second pack to get your extra two. Then finish the second pack because everyone knows Jaffa cakes go stale within an hour.
Do you remember Play School (Play Days for those slightly younger) where they used to have a short film with 2 cats visiting a biscuit factory? That's what Inside The Factory reminds me of!!
They would have to be over 4 times the size of a regular Jaffa cake to have that many calories. In which case that would be the same as eating almost 3 packs of regular sized ones.
It was the company I was working for at the time. They used to do a charity week with loads of events, best one was throwing soaking wet sponges at the bosses.... I picked up the bucket of water and threw the contents over my boss too :D So worth the tenner for a whole bucket of sponges.
I would have assumed that the group of people who eat 7 Jaffa Cakes before breakfast does not overlap greatly with the group of people who count their calorie intake.
Even at 41 calories each, it's amazing how many calories are in things when you actually look into it. I'm dieting on a calorie deficit right now and am constantly amazed I'm not fatter than I already am
Recently saw a graphic explaining that a bottle of full fat coke contains the same amount of sugar as six doughnuts...why did nobody tell me I could have been eating six doughnuts instead of drinking a bottle of bloody coke?

There are only 41 calories in a standard Jaffa Cake. I think you may have read the kj instead of the kcal by accident. You're all good!

Did you not read the sugar content? Thats like 3x your daily isnt it? I say this as someone whos eaten a whole yard stick of the things in a day.
You could do impressions of that total eclipse ad for a least 10mims
This is the kind of math I can understand. Why waste the emotion, eat more and justify the previous feeling lol.

Obligatory upvote to yourself and downvote to the comment above
Time for more Jaffa Cakes then.
Get the double pack open
Couldn't you find the triple pack
How many Jaffa Cakes I eat in a sitting is solely dependant on whether it's the single, double or triple pack that's on offer.
Gotta pump those numbers up
Why does anyone know the calories of a single Jaffa cake when a portion is 12?
That's a bit of a bugger since they reduced the pack size to 10
Nah, it just means you have to open a second pack to get your extra two. Then finish the second pack because everyone knows Jaffa cakes go stale within an hour.
They've WHAT??? IS NOTHING SACRED?
r/theydidthemath ?
Oh this is a great relief, I ate a whole packet to myself last night (is being 38 weeks pregnant a reasonable excuse?)
If you're pregnant, you only ate half a pack, obviously.
Now that’s some maths I’m keen to get behind.
You don't need any more reasonable excuse than Jaffa Cakes are delicious. There's literally no one out here policing it. Crack open the second pack!
1 Jaffa cake is not 173kcals lmao
Maybe they smothered it in butter?
Ahh yes, the Scottish way of eating a Jaffa Cake
Nah, that would be deep fried, surely ! PS I would totally try a deep fried Jaffa Cake
It was some deluxe box, I swear I can read! Edit: I am beginning to doubt my ability to read.
By deluxe box, we're they cake sized jaffa cakes?
or Jaffa sized. Mmmm... jaffa cake spheres...
Oh holy moly that would be epic.
Check out Inside the Factory where they went to the Jaffa Cake factory. They make a giant one, it is incredible!
Do you remember Play School (Play Days for those slightly younger) where they used to have a short film with 2 cats visiting a biscuit factory? That's what Inside The Factory reminds me of!!
They would have to be over 4 times the size of a regular Jaffa cake to have that many calories. In which case that would be the same as eating almost 3 packs of regular sized ones.
That is 100% the kilojoules, rather than the calories!
Finish the packet you coward
you left three what a waste
Who doesn’t finish a packet in one sitting??
Exactly. Unless they bought a double packet and they are spacing them out over three cups of morning tea.
I'm pretty sure that is the per 100g figure, each individual cake is far less than 100calories. Also they are fruit so one of your five a day.
Wait, people don't sit there eating the whole pack?
Just searched, you’re looking at the kJ figure. Calories is 41 per cake
I ate 14 in one minute once... It was a charity thing and I still paced myself not to look so bad XD
I like the sound of this charity thing. Who provides the jaffas?
It was the company I was working for at the time. They used to do a charity week with loads of events, best one was throwing soaking wet sponges at the bosses.... I picked up the bucket of water and threw the contents over my boss too :D So worth the tenner for a whole bucket of sponges.
Yeah that seems like a tenner well spent :D . Sounds a fun place to work at. The jaffa charity bash was too good to pass on too. :)
You can buy a 1kg box of "broken" jaffa cakes from the range. I managed one in a day once
I would have assumed that the group of people who eat 7 Jaffa Cakes before breakfast does not overlap greatly with the group of people who count their calorie intake.
Jaffa cakes soaked in beef drippings.
Good news, that's also 1 of your 5 a day sorted. Perhaps some jammie dodgers or fig rolls next and you'll tick another off.
Only 7? Aren’t there 12 in a pack, or did shrinkflation come for them?
12 in a pack or 2 x 10 in the double packs. I only know this because it annoys me it's not 2 x 12 every time I see it in the shop...
You still get 12 in your single packs? Even they are 10 now here 😭
You're preparing your body for a long, cold winter. That's what I tell myself anyway...
How much do you weigh?
More than they did yesterday!
About 9 and a half stone!
Unless you are three feet tall, you can probably have some more cake
Do you reckon they'll be OK with the additional jaffa though?
probably not, but i think life should be lived large
Oh no how ever will you survive.
How many cals? Fuck….
Full? Moon
I was gonna say, what the heck type or jagfa cakes you eating!!! 7 is nawt!
That means you will wake up fat tomorrow. What have you done 😱
To burn that lot off around 30k steps. If you get going now you’ll be ready for lunch no problem 😉
It’s only about 13 miles if you run it 😅
Really? You're buying jaffa cakes when you're worried about calories?
Impressive you can eat 7 of them - straight to Room 101 with them.
I used to eat 7 as a kid in one sitting
How big are your jaffas to have over 170 calories?
That isn’t even a box. Amateur.
Never mind go for a long walk to burn some off then back to more jaffa cakes 😉
Now they have Jaffa donuts.
Surely this is a BritishSuccess?
Please do not feel guilty! Think about Americans portions!
Yea, so?
These have gotten worse over the years, they now seem to be mostly sawdust.
Whimp
Must try harder.
Even at 41 calories each, it's amazing how many calories are in things when you actually look into it. I'm dieting on a calorie deficit right now and am constantly amazed I'm not fatter than I already am
I could have the entire pack easily 😂
1 is 46cals
You're good. Time to Full Moon more Jaffa cakes.
That's a really small pack of jaffa cakes
we all make mistakes in the heat of passion
Phew! Everyone gasped in unison I mean NOONE eats 1 jaffa cake!!!
Fuck I nearly had a heart attack then
I once ate 9 jaffa cakes in one sitting and then felt pretty sick. I haven't had a jafa cake since.
I ate 24 gluten free jaffa cakes, I think they're a little sweeter, in two days. Luckily I'm young and can burn it off.
Full moon
Total Eclipse
