Sad Servings...

That candy pretty much always has the same amount of calories as any other candy...

Cereal, rice, nuts and nut butter, pasta, cheese, ice cream, pretty much any convenience food or snack.0

Pasta! 57g says the package? What? That's all?
Anything bread! One measly tiny whole wheat bread roll is still 100+ cals. I love baking but between croissants; brioches; pains au lait; baguettes; honey oatmeal breads and all the specialty breads I was gaining quite a bit of weight testing my recipes. Now I BEG people to bake for them

Corn chips!!! I would sometimes eat a bag on my own...900 calories.... Now I don't even bother, one serve just makes we want to eat more. 0

You know, I was thinking I needed some little prep bowls for snacks.
Get toddler bowls. Seriously, I got little plates/bowls for my son at IKEA and dang if they aren't perfect for making a single serving look decadent!
Plus I get to eat out of a bright pink bowl. Win/win!
i got mine from ikea as well. they are the perfect size for making your dinner look like a decent portion.0 -
That's why I buy the fun sized packs of candy. I can grab one packet and eat it. I hate weighing it out because it always seems sad.0
-
I do love that my favorite candy mix is sold in an 80g bag as well as the big one. Even though it's about 350 calories, I still feel SO much better eating only 80g at one time!0

there are cookies out there that the serving is half a cookie. who eats half a cookie and save the rest for later?0

Like, so small you guys. 200 calories and it's basically a handful.
What's the most surprising/sad portion size you have discovered while trying to lose weight?
Also, I ate that portion anyway...I regret nothing.
Peanut butter =( one big spoon is like 400 cals.0 -
nuts and cereal are always disappointing (like, I can eat three portions of cereal). I was actually pleasantly surprised about pistachios though0
-
Definitely cereal as well. I was surprised with cheese, in the opposite way. I was expecting 1oz to be about the size of a little h'orderve cube
or at most, an average slice of cheese from the deli, but I get 2 slices for an ounce! 0 -
The calorie count of plain saltine crackers was surprising. I used to eat a lot of crackers.
Chips, bread, bananas0 -

I restored a dollhouse for my niece; maybe if I eat my meals there I'll feel like a have serious portions,,,
OMG. I'm dying!!!!!! xDDD0 -
Add me to Team Cereal I used to love mixing my Cheerios with a little granola, thinking I was eating healthy. Little did I know that that harmless bowl of cereal probably had 500-600 calories in it 0
-
The one that is getting me right now is soup. Who the heck eats half a can of soup at a time?? Considering figuring out how to make my own soup, not what what I buy is super high in calories but it irritates me to have to put that I ate two servings of it just to feel like I ate something!0
-
I'll agree with the cereal as well. started measuring out a portion at home to take to work, when I put it in the bowl I realised I had been eating 3 or 4 times as much.0

I always knew that candy was a high-calorie food, but butter surprised me. I knew butter wasn't a health food, but didn't know how high in calories it really was.0
-
Peanut butter had the opposite effect for me... after hearing so many horror stories about it, I expected I was eating way more than a serving. However after spreading my "normal" amount on an english muffin and weighing it, it was less than half a serving! Yay for me 0
-
Frozen custard from culvers. I always wanted two scoops when I was younger, then I saw the calories were by scoop ... and scoops tend to actually be hefty and over the count of what's just one scoop ...0
-
Just remembered - Nutella. I was shocked and appalled by both the serving size and the number of calories in Nutella, and a little heart broken lol.0

Ooo McDougall's! Weirdly, that brand also makes a cup that is one serving for the lowered sodium split pea soup, which is pretty tasty for a quick and easy type thing.0 -
Try Special K Cracker Chips. A serving of 25 chips is 120 calories. They're pretty darn good, too, especially the Salt and Vinegar. I am usually fine on a 1/2 serving for 60 calories.spilledmilk wrote: »Chips are the worst. I weighed out 1 serving for my lunch the other day and it was like 8 chips for 140 calories. I had carrot sticks instead0 -
Rice!0
-
Syrup. I thought I'd have one toaster waffle with a little syrup for breakfast. The syrup was 210 calories! I had the waffle plain. Not worth it.0

Peanut butter, pasta, rice.0
