the worst waste of calories you've eaten?

A slice of chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. I swear. If I was stuck on a desert island and could only bring one item of food, I would bring one of their bundt cakes.0

For me, I stay away from all Little Debbie brand snacks.
Frosted Honey Bun = 410 calories
I mean, think of how much other food I could eat instead.0 -
Tim Hortons RRRRRRRRooooooooooooolllllllllllllllll up the rim to win XL coffee w/ cream
100 cals and a loser cup0 -
alcohol, yet after a few drinks not so sure it is a waste. i'd still rather have some xanax, calorie free and no hangover.
I don't know about you but for me Xanax is not calorie free. Gives me the munchies big time.0 -
- 90% of store-bought cookies (excluding those from a bakery)
- Cheese and crackers (I like them, but not that much and dang it the cheese calories add up)
- Fruit juice (I actually hate OJ, but apple juice is good if it's freshly squeezed)
- Alcohol (bleeeeeh, never been a fan)0 -
A Quest peanut butter cup. Chalky at best. And for some reason I just kept eating it. I think I kept waiting for it to taste better...:ohwell:0

The specialty Starbucks drinks. I'd rather eat those calories lol0

Worst in recent memory was stopping at the local Indian buffet after my cardio day (on Tuesday) and not keeping accurate track of what I ate. The food was good, but MFP tells me it was 1500 Calories a plate!
So, not really a waste of calories; more of a logging fail.
I know what you're saying here but my lord I can't imagine indian ever being a waste of calories, even if it was 3000 in a plate
Indian food (at a restaurant, I make my own all the time and control the nutrition, the restaurant stuff is much fattier) is what I eat when I really want to treat myself (like once every few months). 0 -
But to answer the question, almost anything consumed in liquid form. Juice, alcohol, specialty sugary lattes/coffee beverages. I'd always rather eat my calories. The only exceptions I can think of are smoothies (filling, nutritious and not necessarily high cal) and white chocolate mochas from Starbucks (I wouldn't care if they were twice as many calories, I would still have one every week or so).0

Alcohol. Ughh doesn't even taste good. Bad for brain. Liquid calories. Total waste! So glad I don't drink anymore at all.0

Chips. 160 cals. In the moment they are worth it but later on I get hungry and I realize it was a mistake.0

I got a south beach protein bar for free from our grocery store. The first bite was a waste but I kept eating. 180 calories.
Just ate a 300 calorie cupcake that was totally worth it though.0 -

I agree with every single one of these except for kale (I love salty, melt-in-your-mouth kale chips). Fake chocolate is the absolute biggest disappointment and waste of calories, as is frozen pizza. I don't think I've ever had a good frozen pizza. But isn't diet soda pop calorie free? So it can't really be a waste of calories!0 -
Coco's new chocolate peanut butter pie. I have a huge weakness for chocolate/peanut butter and have been salivating over images of it for a while. I finally broke down and bought one - 990 calories/slice, if you can believe it! And boy was I disappointed...it wasn't "bad" but it was nothing to write home about, and if I'm going to blow that many calories on a slice of pie, I feel like I should be *raving* about how wonderful it is for days afterward.0

Tesco sell some amazing jam doughnuts, shame they're just sugar and carbs!0

Cadbury Creme eggs, nearly 200 calories, WORTH EVERY CALORIE.
150 Calories.............and still worth it
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.
Ouch I am not from the USA.... Canada is where I am from....but now I want to move to the UK for jumbo Creme Eggs0 -
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...0 -
I ate at McDonald's last night (as per my previous post) and had a Quarter Pounder Deluxe without mayo/cheese and a medium box of no salt fries. All for 800 calories, give or take. The fries are so tasteless, it's crazy. I've never been a fan of McD's fries or anything, really. The burger wasn't too bad, just small. AND it gave me horrible gas. :blushing: So, not worth it.0

Barf city. Creme egg's are from the devil.Cadbury Creme eggs, nearly 200 calories, WORTH EVERY CALORIE.
^^^^ this
a cadbury's creme egg is *never* a waste of calories
Biggest "waste" to me is eating something I didn't like/enjoy. Everything else I make it fit or just let it go :drinker:0 -
Monster and vodka (the monster was the waste! The vodka was great! :P)0

i just ate a dunkin donuts blueberry donut to the tune of 340 calories.........eh, what do you do?!0

that hamburger from yesterday! Not only does meat make me sick it also put me way over for my calorie limit....and if anyone is wondering why I ate it if it makes me sick...my mind kept telling me it would taste so good it would be worth it...yeah not true....funny how usually the memory of what meat tastes like is usually better for me that the actual thing....I have learned my lesson. No more wasting calories on fatty meat. I'll save my calories for onion rings 0

Alcohol. Ughh doesn't even taste good. Bad for brain. Liquid calories. Total waste! So glad I don't drink anymore at all.
I went out to see a show the other day at a theatre near by and ordered a gin and tonic...I don't even like alcohol! While I was drinking it I just kept thinking ok this is a stupid waste of calories and I'm not even enjoying it...I threw half of it away along with practically throwing my money away too. Never again.0 -
Stupid fluffy umbrella drink at some resort. 400 calories for some grapefruit-cherry-pineapple-gross headache machine. Ugh.
Lol I love your description!!!0
