Anything from Starbucks. When I found out how many calories were in my venti white chocolate mocha I made myself limit that to once a month. Even going the smallest cup didn’t improve the calories much either.
Cheese and nuts. I had to go on a low carb diet due to gestational diabetics and it was hard. Cheese and nuts are low in carb but calories is insane. Getting serving size was sometimes a challenge. I needed a certain amount of carbs but limit calories. I ended up giving up trying to juggle both and focused on carbs.
Happy to be back on calorie counting!
I’m off to dinner out tonight. They only do pasta or burgers and no nutritional info so I think a burger will be healthy calorie wise than pasta but the pasta has veggies and meat so maybe not so.0 -
I always check the calories of any new food before I even think about buying it or eating it. After nearly two years of daily logging, it’s become second nature. I think what really shocked me was some dessert I saw at Friday’s. I passed.0

Salads that have more calories than burgers1000+. And fancy coffees ala Starbucks and similar.
I definitely don’t drink my calories any more!3 -
Chick-fil-A sauce = 140 calories
If you opt for sauce with your meal, steer clear of the Chick-fil-A sauce. It has 140 calories and 13 grams of fat.
Better choices include:- Buffalo sauce (10 calories, zero fat)
- BBQ sauce (45 calories, zero fat), and
- Honey-mustard sauce (45 calories, zero fat)

I have a honey mustard that I love and I found out 2 tablespoons is 140 calories...ugh back to regular mustard I go1

@kali31337 Make your own honey mustard and you can do for a lot less calories. I do it all the time when I'm out because you can never be sure of restaurants- a lot of them put mayo in it. It's delicious that way but chuck full of extra calories and fat. Make it a couple of times until you find the right mustard to honey ratio. Good Luck!2

fig newtons.... one has 100 calories... I could easily put away 12 in about 5 minutes. I always thought they were healthier than cookies/crackers/other snacks, but they're not.2

When I do a long bike ride, 30 miles or more, I crave the sugary soft drink (diet doctor pepper). That is the only time I have a pop. I think it is because my sugars are low. Otherwise, it is water for me too.0 -
It was just one little hamburger.....

Peanut butter! Not so much how many calories - it’s right there on the jar- but how small a serving actually is! First time I weighed it I was using two plus servings thinking it was one serving.1

Yep, having recently bought a food scale, I'm constantly saying, "They call that a serving?"4

I weirdly had the reverse of this happen. I mostly don't weigh my food but occasionally to check something, like after one of those videos.
Turns out my 'serving' of PB is actually about HALF of one when I weigh it. Same thing with mayo. I just use way less than i realized.
As for 'there's how many calories in this?' surprises? French fries. I have no idea why it surprised me, because they're, well, fried. But something about the number of calories in them just offends the daylights out of me. I don't even like them that much but somehow the calorie count in fast food places burgers just IRRITATES me.3 -

Tortillas that are 310 calories. Muffins that are 700
especially when I think back to the (many) times in the past where I didn't eat say an egg or two for breakfast but picked the "light and healthy muffin choice" instead... more than doubling or tripling the calories while also reducing satiation!0 -
Fooof basically anything from a restaurant! Indian food, my favorite veg burger and onion rings, nachos of any kind from anywhere, 2 margaritas…1

I used to think a -small- breakfast was a costco muffin, sausage link, and sugary venti Starbucks coffee.2 -

Same! I always logged a tablespoon/15 g serving until I decided to weigh it one day and I actually only use 7 or 8 g. I'm not that crazy about peanut butter.
OTOH, if I slice my own sourdough bread, it's usually more than double the weight of a normal slice.
Cheese. It's ridiculous how little cheese you get for a 28g serving.0 -
