Hi everyone, 1st post here.  I'm not on Weight Watchers, but I do pay
great attention to what I eat (calories, fat, etc.)  I thought this may
be helpful to some here...

Am I correct in saying that the calories per serving in Pancake Mix is
very misleading?  Take Aunt Jemima as an example.  I was making some
this morning for my kids.  (Waffles, not pancakes)

The label said the calories per serving (which they say is 1/3 cup mix)
is 160.  The total fat in a serving is about 2.  But wait a minute,
you're supposed to add 1/3 cup of oil to make the pancakes or waffles.
That's what got my attention.  Including oil, there could never be only
2 grams of fat!

At 120 calories per tbsp of vegie oil, that adds about 105 calories to
the serving. (5.3 tbsp in 1/3 cup... 120 cals per tbsp)

So the total calories per "serving" is not really 160, it's 265.

It's realistic to have 2 waffles for breakfast.  At 320 calories, it's
not too bad, but 530 isn't so good! That's 210 extra calories that the
label isn't telling you about!

Am I correct in my logic?

By the way, this morning i realized this and as an experiment, didn't
add ANY oil.  Just dry mix (which includes the egg) and water. No oil.
It came out fine. Maybe a little less moist and a tad less flavor, but
definitely worth the 105 cals per waffle savings!
