Have you had an "OMG" moment when counting calories?

I had one of these moments yesterday, i had a medium order of onion rings, i thought it would be about 300 to 400 calories, it was 700 calories, needless to say i wont be eating onion rings for a while

Funny you should start this thread, cause last night I had my OMG moment. We had pancakes for dinner last night. I was victorious at eating only 2 pancakes with maple syrup. The syrup alone was 200 cal per 1/4 cup! I made the switch to real maple syrup a few months back cause of all the chemicals found in other syrups. I am seriously considering going back to the sugary chemicals.

I had an OMG moment when I was shopping yesterday. I picked up a box of coconut crunch mini donuts (one of my old favorites) A serving (3 donuts) is 250 calories!!:noway: For three bites of food!:grumble: Needless to say, I didn't buy them. If I'm going to eat 250 calories, I want more bang for my buck.

I use 1 TBSP of pure maple syrup per pancake at 50 calories! I try to use applesauce, or fruit to make up the difference. Don't give up!
