Here's some hidden calories that could be ruining your weight loss progress...
- Sperm
Well most google results show anything ranging from 5-25 calories, however, an average 3.4ml serving (hahaha man!) contains less than 1 calorie. So there you go ladies and gents, the choice is still yours. Unless of course, you're going out with 6ft4 yeti-type fella with balls bigger than King Kong.
- Chewing gum
If it’s the sugar-free stuff, you’re looking at 2-5 calories per tablet/stick. If you love the Hubba Bubba seshy stuff, it’s going to cost you a shocking 25 calories!!
Now rack up how many you chomp a day, especially you lot who have lifting breath and use hundreds. It all adds up.
- Medicine
A spoon of Calpol is gonna set you back 25 calories. If that shocked you, Night Nurse will cost you nearly 3 times that, at 72 calories. Let’s be honest, who has a recommended scoop? You’re looking at a good 100 cals just for a good kip.
I know some of you may think it's ridiculous, but EVERYTHING counts.
Let's pretend those calories don't count (to make you feel better)...

- Sugar and Milk in Teas/Coffees
Now, how many cheeky cuppas do you have a day? Is it a really milky tea/coffee at 150ml? That’s right, your hammering the calories. Get them counted!
- Oils and Cooking Choices
Obviously you need to count your oils, but say you’ve got 100g of mushrooms... that would cost you like 7 calories. Well hoy the little mushies in the deep fat fryer and you’re now talking 110 calories. So be VERY aware of your oils and cooking options.
- Lip Balms, Chap Sticks, Lip sticks
Okay it’s a bit OTT this one, but Burt Bees Lip Balm is “20 calories per application”. I mean is this for the Silly Sally's who lick their lips after? I don't know!
Hidden Calories - Key points:
I get it, some of the above is overkill. The point I'm getting at, is if you pay close attention to finer details, you may discover you're pissing away 250 calories a day. This could be half a pound of fat a week difference!
