I think I may have consumed more calories than I burned this evening!
How many calories per fly?

On slimming world red days, flies are free food, as long as they are not fried 
This is what I was told while out cycling with a SW consultant.

They definitely weren't fried - mainly swallowed alive. Guess that's the downside of cycling by the side of a lake.
Maybe I should swallow a spider...

When you get to the bird should it be a swallow?

You probably lose calories as the effort expended spitting them out is probably greater than calorific value of the flies

if it is those little pesky black ones the size of a pin head, then perhaps you should be asking "how many flies to a calorie?"

Not really. You'd need to swallow a bird and then things will escalate. Quickly.

It depends what they were sitting on before you swallowed them!
