Is it true that licking the bowl negates any calories?

Asked by chyna (51598points) December 19th, 2018 from iPhone

As in licking the fudge bowl or the cake batter bowl. Since the lickings are pre cooked or pre formed, how can they have calories, right?

Yes, it is an absolute scientific fact. This is why raw cookie dough is so popular.
Think about it: a calorie is a unit of heat. If heat has not been applied, there is no calorie value. ;-)

Where did you hear that? Utterly and completely bogus.

The sugar (and flour, and egg, and whatever else) is in the batter, whether it is baked or not.

@elbanditoroso I didn’t know that!

O, absolutely. And also, cookie crumbs cause calorie leakage. Also, if you drink a diet coke when you eat a donut, they calorie-cancel each other out. It’s true.

Guys… @chyna is one smart, 0-calorie cookie. She’s joking.

@Dutchess_III only one person didn’t get that.

And, do you know that all green foods are equally healthful and low in calories? Spinach, kale, asparagus, broccoli, watercress, lime sherbet, pistachio ice cream, key lime pie, green M&Ms…

^^Yes but they don’t taste like Bratwurst. : )

Yep. There is also a negative calorie intake when you eat food at an amusement park or fair.

In a way, yes. The more you lick the more calorie your body will spend so it will somehow ged rid of the calorie you’ll get from the batter. That’s why you should keep licking!
