Hi,

I'm just sat watching tele and bought a pack of grapes a strawberries through. In three hours I've munched through 524g of green grapes and 400g of strawberries would I of been better off eating a large bar of chocolate instead lol. I find once I start eating grapes I can't stop if there was another pack here I'd eat then too

I think you will be quite surprised how many calories you have consumed.That is a lot of fruit you have had there.

Then again,it depends on what size choccy bar you would have had.
Our greatest glory is not in ever failing,but in rising each time we fall.

Don't stray too far from a lavatory. How much chocolate would you have got through if you'd been eating chocolate instead?

Stop obsessing mate. 500 cals eithert way when you cut or bulk for 1 day makes naff all difference. This is why i dont like counting calories, it messes with your head. Just enjoy your food and if it bugs you a little bit then do a extra cardio session during the week, no big deal

I'd of ate much more than 100g of choc lol maybe a nice 500g bar of fruit and nut Mmmmmm

I'm not worried about the cals its all the carbs but I'm not too bothered lol I've been bulking for the past 3 weeks with some decent gains and managed to only put around a 1lb on in weight and lost some fat

Tip:
learn to love dark chocolate, it's richer so you don't needs to eat as much to still feel like you have hit the spot.

I personally find grapes very morish as well, it's because they are so easy to eat and so juicey... I like the dark red or black ones from ASDA, I'm pretty sure they are genetically modified as the are trying to burst out of there skin LOL

I agree John, dark choccie is food of the gods

Also grapes are indeed GM'ed, they dont come naturally seedless
