Did you know that pumpkin seeds have twice as many calories as vanilla ice cream per volume? No kidding. Plain old pumpkin seeds and plain old (not even low fat or anything) vanilla ice cream. 312 calories for 1/2 cup of seeds, 150 for 1/2 cup of ice cream. Crazy.

Oh, forgot to mention, Yay, Denver!! What is that now, 5 out of 6 games we've beaten the Patriots in since 2001?

Biology teacher told us the wrong due date for our workbook pages. *dies* So I've got to get them all done tonight.

LOL, look. Harry Potter fanfiction in French! Too bad I don't speak French. For some reason, I found that entertaining.

Because I'm on a Harry Potter kick, look at this. This is some of the best fanart that I've ever seen. People with talent like this just blow me away. /not sarcasm

Yeah but do you really eat a whole half-cup of seeds in one go? :p

Nuts and seeds are way high in fats I think, but 'good' fats...and fats are higher in calories than carbs, and ice-cream I'd guess would be mostly carbs from all the sugar?

No. But the serving size they gave was 1/4 of a cup, which sort of makes me think that that much is a normal eating amount (though I rarely eat more than a few seeds at a time), which is still loads of calories.

Very true. Protein and such also.

ice-cream I'd guess would be mostly carbs from all the sugar?

Yes. So it's rather a toss-up. Sugar out the wazoo and less calories or good fats (but still fats) and protein and loads of calories.

I think I'd tend to lean towards the ice cream. Because it's yummier.
