I put a plop of potato salad on my plate (probably less than 1/4 cup) and weighed it, put it in my log, and it clocked in at like 300 calories!!!! I put some back, but that 5 bites was still 200.3

Puff pastry!!! Jesus!!! - made a spinach & leek pie - thought it would be nice & light - nope it was 600 calories a slice!6

When I first tried calorie counting, I would look up my typical order at a fast food place and be shocked at that being 1500+ calorie meals even with a diet coke and then say ok, I'll just have a salad, and even more surprised to find that was almost 1000 calories, too. I am glad that more places now have nutritional information available, but I do wish that more places would just show it on the menu, so we don't have to look it up online and plan ahead.
I also wish more places would have interactive nutrition online, so you could say "no croutons" or substitute a different dressing, and see the new nutrition info.
I used to laugh at the ladies who would order a salad at the restaurant, saying they were trying to "be healthy" but then ask for "extra dressing" and not a low-fat dressing either, usually ranch, so that's like 2 x 2 oz container x 140 = 560 calories, just for the dressing. I really think they had no idea how much they were self-sabotaging.

A serving of mixed veggies at Firebird woodfire grill. 240 calories.1

the flavored creamers have like 35 calories per tablespoon. I love the different creamers in my coffee. Before I was eyeballing it and adding probably about a half of cup of creamer which is like 500 or so calories. Now i stick to 3 tablespoons which isn't nearly as sweet but I am getting used to it.3

Costco poppy seed muffin, 637 calories, I had just bought a 6 pack. Only could justify 1.5 and had my s/o eat the others. I was shocked, sad, and highly disappointed.7

ONE slice of cheese pizza at Costco's food court is 700 calories. If I ate two, I'd be over my calorie goal for the day. So not worth it.10
