    A couple of times I've ordered something out that I normally like but just wasn't prepared well that day. I've actually said out loud, "What a waste of calories." If I'm going to eat something special like that, it better be good!

    ETA : the s in calories

    I know everything is usually bigger in USA... However here in the uk our creme eggs are bigger! 180 CALS... Still totally worth it.

    Sometimes i'll see a dessert and be like mmmm that's worth it, but after a bite in i realize it's not as great as it looked so i spit it out LOL i am not above spitting food out if i feel it's going to be a waste of calories.

    Absolutely.

    Now, Cookie Dough Oreos may sound like a good idea, but no... just no.. and I have no qualms about spitting something out when it isn't worth the kcals.

    birthday oreos- same boat- what a waste- I ate them and hated them.
    So gross.

    The first (of three) birthday cake BF bought me- not delicious. I had a sad.

    otherwise- not a waste- love me some calories!

    It was actually this week. I was super busy running errands which included the grocery store, so I hadn't eaten great all day. Trip to Costco included a pizza for the family. I was starving and running late, so I ate a piece. Later when I logged it and realized the calories sooooooo not worth it. That was a rare occasion for me so whatever.

    Portion of McDonalds fries - i could not believe they were 500+ for a tasteless carton of chips - real waste of cals.

    Anything from McDonald's, IMO. I'm not a fan and the youngest one wants to go there for his birthday tonight :sad:

    Store bought sheet cake, the kind that appears at every work function, birthdays, etc. That shiz is NASTY, overly sweet and a huge waste of calories.

    We went to Texas Roadhouse one night and couldn't believe the calorie/fat content of one little roll! They were not warm and didn't taste as great as I remember.

    The Cadbury eggs I buy don't come with a spoon and are 150 calories...but to me they are 100% worth every calorie, hehe. Those seem to be one of those things people either really love or can't stand :-)

    For me one of the biggest wastes was this Dutch Apple pie my mom served to my husband and I. I can't remember the brand name, but it was a frozen pie you just bake in the oven and for 1/8 of the pie it was something like 400 calories. We were SO bummed. 400 calories could "buy" us a burger for me or fish sandwich for him...quality ice cream...so many delicious "worth it" treats!!!

    :angry:


    You stole my thunder...


    For me, the broccoli rabe I had a couple weeks ago - hated it, but ate it anyway. That was certainly a waste of Calories, as I could have had real broccoli or asparagus.

    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!

    ^this! I thought it was some kind of misprint when I read that on their web site. As for those Cadbury eggs, yuck! But I am sorry that you didn't enjoy yours.
