What is the highest calorie food you consumed as a newbie unaware of the horrific calorie count before you logged it? Mine was Thai Angel wings (stuffed fried chicken wings). 1 wing =700 calories!!!

    Haven't had one--I log before eat. But I was surprised by the calories in hummus.

    Don't be embarrassed. Everyone knows that a serving size of Lumpia is 10!! I know for a fact I have consumed 30 in a 24 hour period.

    Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.



    Nah, I'm full of sh*bleep*. I totally read the label on both pints the whole while I was emptying them.


    edit: In all seriousness, I was appalled to see the caloric values of some stuff at Chilis shortly after I started paying attention to what I was putting in my face.

    Yes, some of the things i ate on a regular basis at Chili's horrified me once I started logging.

    My boyfriend surprised me with a frappe from Burger King. . . he was so sweet. He started out with "I know you're losing weight and watching your calories, but I also know you had a stressful day at work and we have to be up late tonight.... so I got you a frappe but I got you a small! It should fit into your day, right?" I tell him, "I don't know.... let's see what MFP says."

    410 calories for a SMALL mocha frappe. He looked so sad and apologetic. Then he offered to drink it for me haha. I drank it though.... and it was ALMOST worth the calories....... but I won't be buying them for myself once a week like I used to. That's more calories than most of my meals!!

    i looked it up before i had it, but portillo's chocolate cake shake. 1200 calories for a 12 ounce(a SMALL).. and it's almost impossible to get JUST 12 ounces of that.

    I had a 745 calorie cupcake a few days ago. I knew it was pretty big but I never would have guessed quite that much.

    I had the new Tim hortons Italian sandwich and it was 700 calories. I knew it would be high but was surprised.

    Garlic mashed potatoes are what comes to mind, but honestly SO much. I eat at restaurants 2-3x a week for my job (no avoiding it, unfortunately) and when I first started MFP 75 days ago, I guesstimated by the menu and then would go add later. (SO many places don't have nutritional information!). I was absolutely floored by how many calories were in my normal choices. Now I stick to a normal salad with dressing on the side or some sort of grilled meat with vegetables. It's a lot easier to guesstimate if there aren't very many ingredients in your meal! ;)

    Whataburger Chop House Cheddar Burger - 1170 calories. And it wasn't a newb mistake either, this was only 8 months ago or so. I just figured it'd be comparable to other fast food bacon double cheeseburgers. I resisted the fries they kept pushing on me. Good thing too. And I haven't ordered it since then!

    Sonic's Double Bacon Cheese Burger. I thought it was going to be 600-800 like a quarter pounder with bacon.

    It was OVER 1200 calories. I'm glad I had decided to skip the ice cream. Tasted pretty good though.
