How many cals would you estimate in this?

I just ate a jar of sugar free bread and butter pickle chips..Yes! a whole jar! Heh.

Anyway, it's listed as 0 calories, but I know better then that. I estimated it at maybe 40 cals for the whole jar. Anyway here's the info on the jar:

Serving size: 1 oz. (28 g./ About 6 pieces)

Servings per Container: About 11

Calories: 0

Total Fat: 0

Sodium: 120 mg. (Ouch! Starts chugging the water. Ha Ha!)

Total Carb: 0

Sugars: 0

Protein: 0

I usually take the carb and times it by 4 (most pickle jars have at least 1 or a little less then 1 carb listed, but this had 0 which confused me.)

So would you say my guess at 40 cals is about right?

On the plus side, I love pickles and they were good. :P

I could totally do this - me loves bread & butter pickles.

I think you are probably right about the cals - since they were sugar free, basically you were just eating the equivilent of a whole cucumber, vinegar and spices.   See - one whole cucumber

I've never heard of them before but they sound nommy :)

Oh yeah - personally I wouldn't step on the scale for a week!  Can you say water retention from all that sodium !     Sometimes it's worth it though...

Thanks Thmheh!

Ha Ha yeah, the water retention is going to suck, but they ARE so worth it!

La_discotheque, if you ever find them be sure to pick them up! That is if you're not afraid of sodium. :P

:)

Pickles tend to be about 5calories per 30grams or so.

I go through a jar of those badboys every week. So much sodium but sooo good. :D

It is my understanding that any food with less than 5 calories per serving can legally be labeled zero calories.  So worst case scenario you ate 11 servings at 4.99 cals or 54.89 calories.

Edit: and they have to list more than half a gram of carbs, protein, and fat.

i bet it is the same as dill pickles which are about 8 calories per 10 slices according to this site.
