Lessoned Learned

My new sweet treat is TCBY frozen greek yougurt with nuts and sf caramel sauce. The problem is they only offer big cups and it is self serve. The fist two times I just added what I thought was a good size. Last time i asked how much it weighed and it was 13 ounces!!!! OMG! So I leanred my lesson to ask the weight before I eat. Then I split it up and take the rest home. So I now get 3 Servings out of what I thought was one. Lesson learned!! Just thought I would share.

Our eyes can be deceiving!! Smart of you to think to weigh it. I remember going to DD in the fall when they had pumpkin spice coffee and one day I looked it up and it was 200+ calories I wanted to cry lol so I improvised with sf pumpkin cream just as good. Thanks for sharing..wish we had a tcby in PA.

That's one thing I hate about the self serve places! I have gotten pretty good at measuring out 4 or 8 ounces. depends on how many calories I have to spare!

Yeah I am pretty good also but the combination of the big bowl and it being frozen yogurt threw me for a loop.

Practice makes perfect, once you have had it a few times, you will be good at measuring the right amount!!!!!!!
