Food swap

They say a calorie is a calorie.    I can't say that really makes sense to me from at least some perspectives.   Maybe if it's about weight loss?  
But I still figure your body handles all sorts of different calories in very different ways.  And some calories come with a wealth of other "good stuff ".
So with that in mind, here is the first swap I making as I head towards my first meet.
Picture
Two or three times a week I used to have 7 of these (very delicious, crunchy) chocolate eggs before the gym to give myself a bit of energy.   It was one of the things where I was still focusing on the experience vs the fuel, if I'm honest.
Anyway, that's the (caloric) equivalent of 3 of these figs, which I'll now have instead.
Although perhaps I should ask Garth to bring the rest of the eggs into work, just keep them out of my reach.  :)
