    I made nachos a few times... Pretty small portion = 900 calories.

    I made nachos a few times... Pretty small portion = 900 calories.

    It is possible to do them with far less, though. Nachos are my easy-low-cal dinner.

    56 gm of *corn* tortilla chips from Whole Foods = 140 calories
    35 gm of olives = 28 calories
    30 gm of sour cream = 60 calories
    28 gm of Organic Valley shredded "Mexican blend" = 100 calories
    75 gm of salsa = 23 calories

    Bake in the oven at 375 F for 5 minutes.

    Total calories = 351

    Really, only 140g for 56g of corn chips? It's usually double that... then yeah, I suppose you could make them lower calories.

    I loathe olives but usually add some meat or beans.

    I mean, even then, of course you could just make a smaller portion, but then it's just not enough food to be satisfying to me... especially as for me nachos are all about cheese, lol!

    I've done taco mix and just used one serving of chips to dip though, but it's just not the same.

    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.

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