    Chocolate muffins (or any type) are about 400-500 calories each!

    Muesli. I used to eat a huge bowlful every morning with full fat yogurt piled on top and a banana. I still eat smaller portions of it and started making home made to control the calories. I miss my huge bowls of it though!

    Cake HAS to be the worst offender, here. Especially deceitful little sponge cakes... they're just so light, you practically have to tie 'em to the damn plate to stop them floating off...

    Also bananas.

    I think some "sporty" energy drinks are overrated. There's one called Lucozade here in the UK that has a lot of carbs and sugar and if you drink it after your average workout, it takes up a good couple hundred calories or so out of an average workout, probably cutting it in half. Just doesn't seem worth drinking unless you have a pro-athlete's regimen and have an endorsement deal!

    Bananas?
    A banana has like a 100 calories. How many can you stuff in your mouth?

    Museli was one for me too, well I knew it was quite high in calories, but it was the ridiculous small amount I got when I actually weighed it out that surprised me.

    me too! i used to just pour some in a bowl (not loads, but a decent amount!). Then when i started weighing the 30g, it was like a mouthful :( Shocked me!

    just thought of another one! Gatorade! Use to drink them all the time, first day I logged in here I put my Gatorade and was shocked at the sugar content! I haven't had one since! I know a lot of you don't watch sugar intake but I have to because when i was big I was borderline diabetic. I know I should have looked at the label but wow that hit me!
