We were gifted some frozen meals by family and I just pulled out this devilry. My maintenance calories is 1500 and this sticky date pudding comes out to 4200 cal. Approx 3 days worth of calories for me in one dessert!! Insane.

That’s….. insane!
Is that a typo? Could anyone actually eat that whole thing as a single serving??
Nothing quite like a trace of seafood in your pudding…
The total carbohydrate and total fat add up to more than the serving size, there is a mistake somewhere.
One of my favourite restaurants has a sticky toffee dessert that’s 1500 calories lol provided this is a typo with an extra 0, it’s not too out of the realm of possibility. Dates are suuuuper high in calories, add in butter, added sugar, and flour and it’s a caloric disaster and the most delicious thing you will ever eat
So it’s approximately 4206 Kcal per serving?
How can 149g of the 175g be fat (and 97g *saturated* fat) when the three main ingredients are dates, bicarbonate of soda, and water?
(I assume the ingredients are listed in decreasing weight order, that’s a rule isn’t it?)
Lol why is it in kJ?
Look at it from the bright side. Now you have three days of meal prep covered.
But… even for pure oil, it’s just around 900 kcal per 100gram. Technically, it’s possible to have food more energy dense than oil, but still …
Yes but it’s to be shared between 4 – 6 people surely. That’s normal lol
You can see it is mostly fat and butter
100g of pure fat is >800 calories so yyeah. ~240kcal per 100g sounds much more reasonable.
How does 100g have a total of 185g of macronutrients? That label is all kinds of messed up.
This label is wrong, it’s impossible for 100g of this pudding to be 2400 kcal. They either got their calculations wrong or they forgot to add plutonium to the ingredient list.
But it doesn’t make sense! How can 85% fats and 94% carbs fit in a 100% ?
“Hey want to go out and grab a bite”?
“Sorry, can’t. I ate toffee sticky date pudding last week”
ah yes, there are around 190 grams of macronutrients in a 100 gram serving… makes sense
it is also impossible for anything to have more than 900 DIGESTIBLE calories (so no uranium please) per 100 grams, that would mean it would have to be 100% fat.
Well I hope you didn’t plan to eat for the next 5-8 days
Yeah that’s 100% wrong. It adds up to over 325g, and that’s just the nutritional components! When u include the starch and water, it’s prob like double that. So there’s definitely a mistake on the label; I’m gonna guess there’s an extra 0? Or maybe the fat should be 14.9 instead of 149, lol.
It’s inaccurate. The most calorie dense macronutrient is fat at 9 calories per gram. Even if this was all fat (and looking at the ingredients it is not the case) then it could only at most be 175×9 = 1575 calories or 6590kj.
Just want to make sure no one’s misreading kJ for kcal.
A kilocalorie is another word for what’s commonly called a calorie, so 1,000 calories will be written as 1,000kcals. Kilojoules are the metric measurement of calories. To find the energy content in kilojoules, multiply the calorie figure by 4.2.
Still seems like a big typo situation though.
Remember: 1kj = .24kcal. So this is 4224kcal. Still crazy high, but not quite as absurd.
