How Many Calories ... in a Fortune Cookie?
Posted on Feb 20th 2008 6:00AM by Martha EdwardsFiled Under: How Many Calories?
I hardly ever order dessert when I eat out, so on the rare occasion that I dine at a Chinese restaurant, I look forward to the inevitable coming of the fortune cookie -- I like to finish off the meal with something light but sweet. Plus, I love cracking it open to find my fortune. I carry the good ones around with me in my wallet.
But withe the consistency of sweet cardboard, fortune cookies are obviously highly processed and therefore devoid of much nutritional value. I couldn't help wonder, then, if they're more than just not good for you, but downright bad for you. What do you think? How many calories are in a fortune cookie?
The answer is 35 calories and 0 g of fat. Not bad, huh? Hey, we're not all about the high calorie stuff. So if you like having the occasional fortune cookie? Don't sweat it. You should be more concerned with the high-calorie Chinese meal you probably just wolfed down.
