Foods with hidden calories/high calorie sneaky foods

Anything from BWW.
Almost anything from Sonic.
back when I was losing and learning about foods: nuts, nut butters. I still eat them, of course, but know they are calorific.1 -
Peanut Butter is the most disappointing for me. I love peanut butter. However, I have found that PB2 is not a bad replacement for it. It's not like the real thing but it's close.4

You're not saving much by omitting the whipped cream. I think the whip is like 60 calories? You could swap the 2% for almond milk which would save more. The difference between 2% and whole milk isn't very much either. But the difference between almond and whole milk is quite a bit. Unless you like the 2% and in that case, keep it.4 -
In college I would eat heaping spoonfuls of peanut butter, consuming most of the container in a day.
I can't have it in my house anymore.5 -
Everything I've eaten all my life Pancake, muffin, donut, cheesecake... I rarely eat these anymore and it's just so sad3

Chicken thighs! One chicken thigh (normal size) is 450+ calories. I mean... I still eat them because they’re delicious but man they knock my calories out!2

Gin. Life is cruel. 😢 Also fruit, which we’re taught is healthy. Life is confusing.1

I'm thinking that must be including the skin. If you switched to skinless it would be a lot less than that.1 -
All restaurant dishes, especially the salads.
Who knew that you can pack 2500 calories into a salad? No wonder people trying to lose weight that don't count calories can't (when they think they are eating healthy).6 -

I spent some time in the city as a student and discovered the perks of being a cityslicker came with a high calorie price. Lol Seems like anything that isn't homemade is very high in calorie compared to it's benefit.0

Oh god...
I can't even imagine....
But then I've been to Utah national parks earlier this year and had real problems finding just simple breakfasts, but especially dinners to kind of fit my calories. It was so hard (and I don't eat molten cheese, eggs, mushrooms and other things commonly used). Especially Bryce Canyon was difficult.2 -
What about muffins, I would've never thought they were so high in calories.....At the opposite spectrum, I used to think donuts were high in calories, but they are actually not bad.2

You can make some decent home made muffins that are lower in calories, store bought muffins are all sugar and all fat.

I was talking about store bought. Before I even knew about nutrition and calories, I always associated muffins as healthy and something that wouldn't make me gain weight opposed to donuts which I thought could make you fat. Nowadays, when it comes to calories, I've learned that store bought donuts have way less calories than store bought muffins. I expected the opposite.2 -
For peanut butter lovers !! Try the pbfit peanut butter powder !! It’s awesome1
-
Avocado and salmon. Compared to other vegetables and fish those are high calorie.0
-
Desserts in general, as you can be at over 100 calories with just a few small bites. Sometimes I still get surprised at how high calorie some items are, like these cupcakes I saw at Whole Foods a while ago. A couple of them are 920 calories, and they're not even oversized cupcakes.
