What is the one food that you would have never guessed had so many calories in it before you started tracking calories?

For me I'd have to say one of them is minute rice!! WOW!

    For me, it was chicken and ground beef. They were shockers! Steak has fewer calories. I can't afford to eat steak all the time but I wish I could!

    Unless it's fried... then it's off the charts.

    Depends on the cut, inside round steak is much lower that rib steak. Chicken is pretty good as long as you take the skin off and stick to breast meat.

    Its not bad is you go for the sugar free or fat free. You just have to get used to the taste,

    Most, if not all, restaurant dishes. I always thaught I ordered the healthy things off the menu but I was wrong. The grilled shrimp at Outback really upsets me. And their steamed veggies!?!? I'd get the grilled shrimp appitizer, a side of steamed veggies and a side salad. I'd splurge on the dressing for the salad, and their bread. GD, I may as well have ordered Bloomin Onion. LOL

    I just cant get used to the taste. I tried. I even tried the Splenda coffee flavors, all they did was give me gas.

    While breakfast cereal isn't too bad per serving, the serving size is ridiculously small, especially for a growing boy like me. The only cereals that made the cut for me is Fiber One and Cheerios, and I still don't eat those often.
