Fat doesn't understand servings. Consumes large amount of vegan muffins.

TIFU by not reading the fine print on baked goods and getting fat(ter)

I have a love-hate relationship with baked goods like we all do. Love the taste, hate the excessive calories. A few weeks ago I thought I discovered a cheat code to it in the form of Paris Baguette vegan muffins. They were only 170 calories for a huge muffin! It was amazing! In the back of my head, I wondered how they could make a delicious muffin for such low calories, but I justified it by thinking the Vegan meant it lacked a lot of higher calorie ingredients. ( )

I was in heaven and would eat 2 a day, because I could afford it in my calorie count. But then I noticed I was getting heavier on the scale. No worries I thought, I was lifting more, so maybe it was just muscle...until my body fat started going up.

Thinking I was eating too much, I ended up eating MORE muffins because they were so low calorie and filling. What was 2 became 3-4 a day because I could get full on 340 calories...but the fat kept creeping up.

That was until one day when I was on vacation and noticed the fine print on the calorie placard. 170 calories...3 servings. I wasn't eating 170 calories a pop, I was eating 510 a pop. Those 4 muffins as a snack was a full day's worth of calories.

Now I'm back to square one and feel dumb for thinking I had hacked life.

tl;dr - thought I was eating 170 calorie muffins for a few weeks...turns out they were 510 calorie muffins and I got predictably fatter.
