They choose to scare you with the doughnuts and pizza and onion bahji [whatever that is] and other snack food items, but I could have easily arrived at the same calorie count with a cup of dried apricots, a medium avocado and a banana.

Jaffa cakes biscuit's with jam covered in chocolate, much like Pim's easily found here in the states. They are delicious, and go very well with a double measure spirit and an alcopop.

Apparently all calories are not equal, so there's at least a vague science behind pretending/believing that calories you drink don't count. Which is what I do.
