Well, I forgot my umbrella, but at least I wore my raincoat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
an “average-size person”— someone who weighs about 150 pounds
Really? Really? I guess it's clear they don't mean statistically average, but if you took the average heights and worked out healthy weights, would the average weight still come to close to 150? Seems skinny.

I was like, "400 Calories for one cookie!!??"

I made TJ's gluten-free peanut butter cookies the other night and was shocked to see on the box that each one was supposedly 200 calories because they are tiny.
I shudder to think what a cookie I buy downstairs at work is.

I remember the first time a customer asked to see the nutritional information for one of the muffins - that was the day I stopped eating stolen pastries for breakfast!

I long ago stopped getting pastries at Starbucks; when I first went on a diet, I pulled up the nutritional information on all that. The coffee drinks are bad enough: over 200 calories for a flavored latte! But the food is unbelievable.
It's remarkable how much information is available online for that sort of thing, now, though. And very useful for those who are trying to eat healthy: I know that if I get the Panda Bowl with mixed veggies and the chicken with string beans at Panda Express, the entire meal is less than 400 calories, far better than the same thing with the orange chicken instead. Even though I love the orange chicken.
