    Chicken Nugget Burger from Burger King.

    Forgive me, I work in remote locations in national parks, but WTF is that?!

    I'm going to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight, and out of curiosity I looked up how many calories my old "go to" meal was...12 boneless wings with Parmesan Garlic sauce and a side of fries.

    2700 CALORIES?!?

    No wonder I put on so much weight...

    I always got the Asian zing and fries... explains my freshman year of college. :laugh: :blushing: :drinker:

    A SMALL shamrock shake at McDonalds.. 416 calories for a small... a SMALL! I used to love those things but I just can't get past the calories... I'd rather have half a cup of ice cream instead.
    My sister and I have them make it half chocolate and then share, all the taste and half the calories.

    Went to Pizza Express last week and had a pepperoni pizza, it was 800+ calories and honestly had no taste! I had to coat it in black pepper and it still sucked! Total waste....and I would never normally regret pizza :D

    Back when i didnt understand the concept of calories in calories notion, I would have whatever i wanted. And what i regret the most is triple decker pizza from Debonairs. So calorific. One slice of the thing is over 450 calories. Horified now that i know because i'd sometimes have 3-4 slices in one seating. KILL ME NOW!

    A Tim Horton's donut. A whack of calories and not worth any of them. I used to loooove them. Apparently either my taste or theirs has changed. On the other hand, a fresh donut (or anything else) from our local bakery...All bets are off.

    Totally Agree. A few years ago they stopped making them in house. Now they ship them to stores frozen. And its so hard to find a good bakery for donuts.

    I had a cookie once and found out after it was over 250 calories. It was a good cookie, but I didn't need those extra calories. I have stayed away from cafeteria style cookies after that, but if coworkers bring in homemade cookies though I am having several. Unless its peanut butter, that stuff gets spit out right away.

    Edited to add: Frozen pizzas, I love them if you get the good ones, but not worth the calories. I would rather go out for a pizza. The town I live in has several great pizza places that make it worthwhile to go out and eat those calories

    The light-as-fluff, disgustingly sweet-frosted mass-produced bakery cake that my workplace gets for work anniversaries, babies, weddings etc. I've never liked it, and I used to just eat it to be sociable. I've no idea of the calories in it, but if it's over 1, it was a waste.

    I just decline now. The cake, not the celebration.

    Not me, but the gal behind me at Chipotle at lunch today. She ordered a burrito with double rice and double cheese with a bag of chips. No meat, no vegetables, no salsa, nothing.

    1440 calories for all of that starch. I can't imagine that would fill you up whatsoever.

    Cadbury creme eggs are delicious. I would never buy them myself... but the boyfriend came home with a few this easter. No regrets.

    I think the calorie I feel is most wasted is the one I drink instead of eat. Fruit juice, non-diet pop, lemonade, sweet tea ... It's a waste. I think I live on water and black coffee.

    That being said. My treat of choice is a kettle one and cranberry with a lime.

    edit for words :)

    ooh I already answered but I have to add that milkshakes (any) are my #1 "will no longer consume" item purely because I drink them so fast I barely even taste it. I'm like a toddler just sucking it down ASAP and can't seem to sip a shake slowly so there is NO point in me ever having another...especially when the calories are insane. I'm better off with a 300-400 calorie mini Blizzard that I can savor every tiny bite!

    have you tried a frozen banana with low fat milk and nutmeg? insanely yum and just over 100 calories:) no ice cream but the frozen banana is so like ice cream :) yum!

    I bought a cookie from a gas station. I guess it was supposed to be like a nobake cookie? Anyway. It looked good. And it was. Later looked up the brand on MFP. 300 calories. Sounds fair enough. Except... the cookie was TINY.

    Oh well. At least it tasted good. lol

    a Mango-rita (Budlight) 180 calories for 8oz, didn't really like the taste. I don't drink alcohol but when I do, it has to be worth it.

    A pasta and shrimp entree at a restaurant. When I got near the bottom of the large bowl, I discovered that not only did I eat too much pasta at one sitting-- the volume of butter nearly equaled the volume of the shrimp!

    Almost any "appetizer" at any restaurant... especially buffalo chicken sliders. I think those are the worst, calorie-wise. To make matters worse, my friends and I would snack on these and other apps on nights out - after we had already eaten dinner. The humanity! So not worth the 1000s of calories.
