579.1estimated calories & fat %SKIF::CJOHNSONFri May 04 1990 16:1219
    I could find this listing in 'The Complete Book of Food Counts':
    
    For Sara Lee Classic Elegant Endings, 4oz portion
    
    		calories...............350
                protein (gms).......... 10.0
    		carbohydrates (gms).... 29.0
    		fat (gms).............. 22.0
    		cholesterol (mgs)...... n.a.
    		sodium (mgs)...........250
    		fiber (gms)............ n.a.
    
    By my calculation, this would be (22 x 9 / 350) x 100 = 56.57% fat !
    
    Better have an APPLE !
    
    (Quite possibly a 'custom-made' cheesecake MIGHT be higher).

    Awww c'mon!!!  There's nothing wrong with splurging once in a while.
    If I had my Dining Out book, I'd tell you how to count cheesecake for WW...

579.4Cough dropsPENUTS::JLAMOTTETake a Hike...join the AMCMon Sep 10 1990 15:4510
    Does anyone have a calorie count list for cough drops?
    
    Specifically Halls Mentho-Lyptus spearmint cough suppressant tablets.
    
    If you have the calorie for any cough mint I would at least get a
    general idea.
    
    Thanks,

    Joyce,
    
    
    I have a booklet on 'Brand Name Calorie Counters'.  I does state
    that:  Halls - Square or Oval. 1 piece is 15 calories.  Pine Brothers,
    assorted, honey & wild cherry are 10 calories.
    
    Hopes this help

579.8Close, but no bananaKYOA::DUNAIEFDo=Damned, Don't=DamnedFri Mar 01 1991 21:3713
Bev,

Thanks for the reply, but what I was looking for is the coffee you buy as coffee
beans, the beans have liquors and other flavors added. One coffee I had gotten
has almond slivers mixed in with beans.  They must have more calories than plain
coffee, I just have no idea how much liquor (or whatever) gets added in.

I've been limiting myself to one cup a day, but if it's very high in calories,
I need to know.

Thanks anyway.
