    What most shocks me is the actual portion sizes. I mean, seriously I had no idea how much I was actually overeating. The food scale is my evil nemesis, but I use it religiously.

    This. It was a real eye opener when I started weighing out food. Incredibly disappointing too lol.

    A little dixie cup of Happy Heart nut mix (which I weighed at just 85g) being >400 calories.

    I still eat it, because it's delicious...but the calories are almost double what I expected.

    Little Debbie chocolate donuts. 430 calories!! I realized after I finished them. AGHH, I need to start entering food before I eat it. :neutral:

    They're donuts... covered in chocolate... Did you expect them to be low calorie?

    So I weighed my fruit. . . and my lovely big navel orange weighed 12 ounces! 167 calories. OUCH.

    Do you weigh it with the skin on or off?

    Can we talk about Girl Scout cookies?!?! 150 calories for two Samoas?! Last year I was eating half the package in a sitting. And wondering why my pants were getting snug...

    Two Samoas* was usual my calorie finisher during my 2016 summer cut.

    (* or one, depending on how the days had gone)

    That's what I am doing now!! Changed my rate of weight loss and still struggling to get all my calories. Girl Scout cookies are the perfect helper right now haha!

    But they are little....LOL. I did not expect them to be low calorie Obiouslyyyy but it was shocking too see how many calories it actually had. Wasn't expecting half of my daily calorie allowance to go to Little Miss Debbie.

    Starbucks blueberry scones. Used to pick one of those up with my americano every morning. 460 calories! So not worth it.

    Pasta with sausages. Obviously, I knew it wasn't a healthy meal but no idea that the calories were that much. Then sometimes I would have a meatball or two with it. Just that meal would be close to my total allowance.

    Almost all of the baked goods at Starbucks are so high in calories, like 360-500 for any of it! I never thought their stuff was very good anyway and it's all frozen and just thawed out to sell. Now that they post the calories in the case I've found it pretty easy to steer clear! I do get a cake pop once in a blue moon but that's about it (and still kind of high at 170-210 calories for one cake pop).

    I'd rather have a donut at Dunkin than any of that, if I'm gonna have a sweet baked treat, and surprisingly most of them are lower in calories than the muffins, scones, and loaves at Starbucks. Crazy!



    You are so right! It wasn't very good, it was just very convenient in the moment (never mind that I would get hungry an hour later). The scary thing is, before they started posting calories at the case, I would have guessed a scone of that size to be around 250 calories.

    If I'm going to get a croissant or scone, it will be at the local bakery for sure.

    When I started I was a grazer. It’s amazing how many calories you can add up with a little bite here and a little bite there.

    Last week I ate an peeled orange that weighed 326g and was 300 calories. It was the most delicious thing I ate all day.

    I think maybe I won't weigh my oranges... lol.

    Any baked goods from Starbucks. The old coffee cake was basically a meal in itself.

    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.

    This. I rarely eat it anymore. It's good, but not THAT good.
