Alright, let’s talk about them Popeyes strawberry biscuits, you know, the sweet ones. Folks keep askin’ ’bout how much “calories” they got. Now, I ain’t no fancy doctor or nothin’, but I can tell ya what I heard and what I can make sense of.
So, how many of them “calories” are we talkin’ about? Well, it seems like one of them biscuits got around 290 of them things. Yeah, 290. That’s a whole lotta somethin’, ain’t it? They say that’s for just one biscuit, mind you. Not a whole plate, just one. So, if you’re watchin’ your weight or somethin’, you gotta be careful with these things.
- One biscuit: around 290 calories
- That’s a fair bit, if you ask me.
Now, what else is in these biscuits besides them “calories”? They say there’s somethin’ called “fat,” and there’s about 13 grams of that. And then there’s this “saturated fat,” about 7 grams. I ain’t sure what all that means, but it sounds like a lot of somethin’ greasy. And then there’s “sodium,” they say 380 milligrams. That’s probably the salty stuff, right?
Then there’s the stuff that gives you energy, I guess. They call ’em “carbohydrates,” and there’s 39 grams of them. And sugar? Yep, 14 grams of sugar in one biscuit. That’s a lot of sweetness, I tell ya. Enough to make your teeth hurt if you eat too many. They also got somethin’ called “protein,” about 3 grams. And fiber? Just 2 grams. Don’t seem like much, does it?
Here’s the lowdown in plain speakin’:
- Fat: 13 grams (7 grams of that saturated stuff)
- Sodium (salt): 380 milligrams
- Carbs (energy stuff): 39 grams
- Sugar: 14 grams
- Protein: 3 grams
- Fiber: 2 grams
Now, some folks say the regular biscuits, the plain ones without the strawberries, got a bit less “calories.” I heard tell they got around 210 to 260 of them “calories.” But I reckon it all depends on how big they make ’em and how much butter they slather on. You know how them fast food places are, sometimes they give you a big one, sometimes a small one.
So, what’s all this mean? Well, it means them strawberry biscuits are tasty, alright, but they ain’t exactly health food. They got a lot of sugar, a lot of fat, and a fair bit of salt. If you eat ’em every now and then, it probably ain’t gonna hurt ya too much. But if you’re eatin’ ’em every day, well, you might start gettin’ a bit…round, let’s say. And maybe your heart won’t be too happy neither.
I always say, everything in moderation. A little bit of somethin’ sweet now and then is alright, but don’t go overdoin’ it. There’s plenty of other things you can eat that are good for ya, like vegetables and fruits. But sometimes, you just want a sweet treat, and them strawberry biscuits sure do hit the spot. Just don’t eat too many, that’s my advice. You only got one body, gotta take care of it, even if you like them sweet biscuits.
And remember, this ain’t no doctor talkin’, just a bit of common sense. If you’re really worried about them “calories” and all that, go talk to a real doctor. They’ll tell you what’s what. Me? I just like to keep things simple and easy to understand.
One last thing, they say these numbers are just for one biscuit. If you eat two, you gotta double all them numbers. And if you get a whole box, well, you do the math. It’s a lot of “calories” and a lot of other stuff, that’s for sure. So be careful and enjoy them biscuits in small doses, that’s the best way.
Anyways, that’s all I know about them Popeyes strawberry biscuits and their “calories.” Hope it helps ya make up your mind about eatin’ ’em or not.
