Soft-texture pudding is eaten fast, and the brain barely registers it. A meta-analysis of 40 oral processing studies (Krop et al., Appetite 2018) found chewing reduces hunger and intake — smooth desserts skip that brake. Lemon pudding with 2% milk runs 109 kcal and 13.5 g sugar per 100 g.
How should I track Pudding, lemon, dry mix, regular, prepared with sugar, egg yolk and water?
The trickiest part about tracking Pudding, lemon, dry mix, regular, prepared with sugar, egg yolk and water is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that calorie-dense foods are underestimated by 50–200% when portioned by eye. Weighing on a scale takes the guesswork out. And here is the mindset shift that helps: tracking sweets is not about guilt. It is about awareness. When you log a treat honestly, you can plan around it and still hit your targets for the day.
