    Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles arr 350 calories per tube. Therefore 1050 calories for 3. This will make a huge difference to your overal diet/weightloss etc.

    See if you can ween yourself onto something sugar free.

    No there is not - MFP says 184 per tube!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Yes - mango is still bad, but things like that are a more sustained release of carbs than quick sugary energy drinks. Bananas are pretty good too (and no tooth problems associated), but a bit bulkier, and peeling one on the road is quite a trick!

    Interesting!
