B&J Consumers, GTFIH.

[R3T3K]

Up until a few days ago, I was blissfully content knowing I was eating 12-1300 calories per pint of B&Js. We've been lied to. I've measured the last 4 pints that have entered my household. Still packaged, they weighed anywhere between 300-350 g. What. The. Hell.

Anyone else notice this, or is this a Canada only thing?

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

the other day I weighed out 2 sevings of half baked, then one more a litte later, there was less than half a serving left.
it clearly states theres suppose to be 4 servings per pint. :(

[NCepeeist]

Also caught this one last night. Whose going to start the ****storm to BnJ's?

[Chuck2600]

So how many calories a pint?

I've also noticed that many foods are much heavier or lighter then they say on the lable.

[R3T3K]

My pint of Phunky Monkey last night weighed in at:

840 cals instead of 1200.

Serving size and macro content varies greatly from flavor to flavor. Clusterfluff for instance has much more fat due to the delicious peanutbutter swirls.

Serving size 4? Less than 1,000 calories....?

wtf that's kind of nuts - i always eat the whole pint at once so i've never bothered to check the weight

[kkaustin812]

I would have guessed this would be the case but have never weighed it so I could stay innocently unaware. Thanks for screwing that up for me :(



EDIT: WAIT!!! They're less than 4 servings! Oh my gawd ho my gawd Im sooooo happpy!!!!

[Ashlei]

Not surprised since they make it by the individual pint. Some pints have many more mix ins and some just suck.

I just weighed out a pint of Froyo Chocolate Fudge Brownie ... with the packaging it's 415g ... there's supposed to be 4x104g servings, so this one is definitely short.

[NCepeeist]

Definately had one the other day that was ~340g with the packaging.

Edit: was supposed to be 4x109g= 436g

[diggitydan]

i noticed this too.. pints are short of 4 servings

[Ryan314]

dis gon' b gud

[waatsgood]

Dammit, I love eating straight out of the pint so I just counted 4 servings. Now I'm going to have to scoop it out, weigh it, and put it back in the tub, but it still won't have the same effect as eating it straight out of the pint :(

Totally srs btw.

[ispoody1243]

wow, never really had this prob
usually just have 1 or 2 serves in a go if i have b&j
usually comes out at 4 serves give or take 15 grams

just weigh it before you open it ---------> then weigh when you done eating = do simple math = Profit

[Trillios]

Or if you're like me you don't give a fuk about a few hundred cals that won't make much of a difference (unless you're competing for something of course).

inb4 calories add up over time bro, stfu
inb4 u mad, yea i am
inb4 im jk not reli mad

It's a win/win in my book peeps. If you're cutting fuk yea you're still in a deficit. If you're bulking then over time you won't see gains so you end up eating more so fuk yea anyway, amirite?

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

More concerned about getting ripped off than screwing up calories, it says 4 servings on the container.

If I get 3 and 1/3 servings out of a pint instead of 4, they're stealing about 83 cents.

you do understand you buy icecream by volume not weight?
a pint is 473ml
the label is just a guide of what a quarter pint may weigh

While thats probably a good point, it still pisses me off. :(

So if you're eating the whole pint then the macros are probably right, just the weights per serving are incorrect?
Don't see how it can be so far off, unless they're just guessing.

[lorinelise]

lol @ weighing ice cream. I just eat the whole thing, who cares.

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

I weigh my milk too, come at me.

[lorinelise]

I weigh my milk too, come at me.

I weigh my water, come at me.

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

I weigh my water, come at me.

Come at me with cake balls, I'll weigh them too.

And that is precisely why you'll never be Miss Olympia in Female Bodybuilding. :rolleyes:




This thread made me laugh out loud.

Still on spread for the Aladdin Aragon thing

[nlite2000]

This is good news, I think. As said above if you're cutting you are saving a few hundred calories, and if you're bulking you're saving a few hundred calories.

No, because the weight usually signifies more mix-ins. Lacking those mix-ins and replacing it with icecream will change the macros.

Label says 500 mL. From a physics standpoint, 500 mL = 500 g (water). Were getting ripped off, and I prefer to be disciplined where I can so I can let **** go somewhere else.

IIRC from the few US pints I've had i think each serving of B&J is supposed to be 100ish grams so 400g total for a pint

Label says 473ml, at least in the US
B and J's is NOT water.

BJ is fuking up my bulk!!!

[Ashlei]

Don't sweat the small stuff guise. It's an imperfect world and calorie counting is imperfect. Eat your B&Js and deal :)

[fad3d]

BnJ is the victim of my angry thoughts because they wont put Schweddy Balls on the flavor locator.

[R3T3K]

Ahem. I now need to eat 1.5 pints pre-workout.

[PBateman2]

[MikeK46]

Just finished a pint of Oatmeal Cookie Chunk, it had 3.5 servings in it instead of 4.

[Ashlei]

[tjwoody]
