I’m trying to keep up with every calorie I consume in my food journal, and also to maximize my caloric intake per day, but there’s one aspect of my diet that’s really got me stumped. Here’s my question… what type of toothpaste is best for someone looking to gain weight?
I brush my teeth three times a day like my dentist recommends, and each time I know that I end up swallowing a little, but I can’t for the life of me find nutrition facts on the boxes or tubes! Right now I use Crest and I think that’s a good choice because it’s generally sweeter than, say, Colgate, so I assume it has more calories, but again I can’t find any info. Please help!
Also, ever since I found out that tic-tacs are 1 and 1/2 calories apiece, I’ve been able to add another 100-150 calories per day to my diet, and keep my breath smelling icy fresh at the same time. Pretty good weight gain strategy, eh?
Toothpaste should be nearly calorie-free- I wouldn’t expect sugar to be in it (at least I hope not). Eating 150 tic tacs a day to gain weight and maintain fresh, minty breath is an excellent strategy. Just excellent. Holy shit.
However I often wonder how long it takes me after a use a tictac to burn it away. Actually I guess I’m burning more calories just sucking on the thing…
chrismcl-I’m in Kennebunk, Maine; we’ve gotten 6-7 inches since Thursday, and it’s still coming down. They expect it to slow down tonight, and start back up on Tuesday. The Portland Sea Dogs’ opening day has been postponed indefinitely!
And I thought I was anal when I wanted to know the calories and nutritional breakdown for human blood cuz I cut my lips once and swallowed some of my own blood…
