    I've just had a pad Thai Noodle from Kanoodle. Apparently it was only 324 calories. It was huge and filled me. 324 calories can't be right, is it?

    Are you sure it wasn't 324 per 100g where you ate 500g or something

    Well no, I'm not sure at all, hence the thread! But I can not find any fine print on the menu. I dunno if I believe it to be honest.

    Feel free to check the menu yourself, hopefully you can see something I'm missing

    Unless the portion is tiny I would severely doubt it.

    I did find it hilarious that their website seems to have been hacked. There's an ad for discount viagra at the bottom of every page. :pac:

    Yeeaahh, no it's not..and I'm a girl so... I called them to tell them and they said they keep getting hacked. Also google ads will rarely have such shady stuff like that.

    well girls take viagra too! probably a lot more than people think... Some people have the wrong idea of what it actually does.

    This low calorie estimate is getting common enough, a chipper near me has laughably small calorie estimates.

    The scam is to send off a tiny portion to a 3rd party lab who will certify that the dish was only Xkcal.

    There was another kebab place a few months ago mentioned who had tiny portions quoted, less than half of what you would actually get.

    I was looking forward to obligatory calorie sizes in restaurants so I would have an idea of what size portion to expect -i.e. so I could back up a complaint if I got a minuscule dessert.

    Then take a photo of it on a saucer.
