    Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad = 1290 calories. Thought I was choosing a healthier option. Wrong!

    I am regularly shocked about him many calories can be in a single slice of bread! I tend to only have it on a weekend/cheat day so I can enjoy it without feeling too deprived in other meals....

    Wow...what kind of bread are you eating? lol The bread I get is only 70 a slice lol.

    Yes, Weightwatchers/nimble/thin sliced bread can be approx 70 calls. Any breads with seeds or wholemeal or artisan can be around 150 per slice, sometimes more! That means 300 calories in bread for a sandwich before you even add fillings! I have pet hate of all things marketed as low fat/calorie controlled, and I don't have much to lose, so I try and eat good but less, or have the things I enjoy but exercise more. Lifestyle change rather than diet...

    Nature's Own Honey Oat is 70 calories per slice and isn't "Weightwatchers/nimble/thin sliced bread"...and has oatmeal topping.

    ETA....I don't diet either.

    Movie theatre popcorn, large with butter is over 1000 calories, the small is 600 calories! The cheesy nachos are a better choice, who would have thought.

    Now I just pop my own, still around 350 cal for a small bag :(

    Ah, don't think this is available in the UK.... Shame. I shall endeavour to seek out more acceptable cals-per-slice bread

    Because I don't want to diet, I want to change my lifestyle, I once planned to have some pie at Perkins and I messed around with some options before heading out. There was a slice I could have for 500 calories, so I decided on that, planned everything around it, waited all day, and then ordered some that night. All I had done was look on the Perkins website for the nutritional information, so when I got back home to log it on MFP, I did a double take and had to search through all of the results from my search because previous MFPers said this particular slice of pie was 980 calories! I checked it against the website. It was true. I had transposed the numbers from the 500 calorie slice of pie onto the 980 calorie slice by accident, consuming nearly double the calories in one sitting. Oops!

    I went to Panera this last week and decided to treat myself without checking MFP first. Vanilla Cupcake = 450 calories. The sad thing is that it was very small. :(
