I'm on a calorie controlled diet and need a snack, can I eat bogies or is it cheating?
2006-08-21 01:00:34 · 11 answers · asked by Anonymous in Health ➔ Diet & Fitness
Bogies are made of water and mucin mostly. Mucin is a protein. Water has no calorific value. Protein has a calorific value of around four calories per gram.
Therefore one bogey has a calorific value of:
w x 4
where "w" is the dry weight of said snot-lump in grams.
By and large though the energy expenditure of gathering nose-fruit is larger than that contained within the material itself. This is good for dieting but not for body-builders.
Hope this helps.

I like bogies, you could send them to me. I often drop some in my husbands tea (he doesn't know). Its a right laugh, sometimes when my friends come round they help too.

probably cheating. dont know about the calorific value Dwayne, but surely loads of germs and bugs and bacteria so perhaps some protein value???

Don't know - John Lennon once included 'toe-jam' in a song. For non-scousers that's what you find between your toes if you only bath/shower once a month. Posh people bathed once a month whether they needed it or not.
