Holy cow, next time I'll check the box before I eat that!

Cucina di Carla frozen pesto purses...It's new at Costco, I knew it was rich, and I enough calories left in the day to spare, but ate 3/4 of a cup, before I checked the nutrition facts. Learned my lesson; don't assume a new food might be similar to anything you've had before.

And a good chunk of Sodium.

I made that mistake once and I haven't done it since. I now log my day in the morning and adjust as needed from there.

But... was it worth it? Sometimes a treat is just what's in order.

I did that with Costco's individual trail mix packet. I looked at the back, 160 calories so I snipped the top off and ate it. I went to enter it and discovered that each "individual packet" was actually 2.5 servings so I had just woofed down 400 calories. I was so mad!

It was good, but no-not worth it!
