    Lower calories than I expected: Guinness Stout. I thought it would be 200 calories or more for 12 oz, but it is only 125.

    Higher calories than expected: Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt. I thought it would be similar to the plain at 150 calories, but it is more like 260 for a cup*.

    *Not bothering to look it up right now, but it is definitely 50-100 calories more per cup than the plain.

    Woa....what do they put in their yogurt ?
    I have for the last 16 years made my own yogurt from whole milk and a cup is 150 calories with absolutely nothing added. I make high fermented Greek Yogurt and the fermentation uses up the sugar in the yogurt and lowers calories. Of course since many companies make " fake " greek style yogurt and add stuff that makes it creamy and that has calories, maybe 260 calories is not that high. so far fetached.

    Stoney field is one of the few companies that actually makes real greek yogurt.

    My shock was yesterday. Sonic Double Bacon Burger. I thought it was going to be in the 700-850 range.

    1250 calories! I should have just got a whopper and onion rings for that.

    I looked it up, and it is 220 a cup, so 60 more calories than the plain according to the Web site (plain is 160, not 150). It seems to be all from the extra 18 grams of sugar they add to make it French vanilla.

    Edited to fix quote problem.

    Okay this might or might not help but it is best (well for me anyway), unless you're completely sure about the product you're logging, to read from the supermarket packets when you're making your homemade food. :)

    Many pasta sauces contain a lot of calories, not to mention sugar and sodium. If possible make them from scratch. Chilli con carne wouldn't surprise me for the low calories if you make it yourself.. e.g. don't add too much cheese if you can help it .

    Not sure if I helped but there you are :)
