    extra large coffee with cream and sugar sometimes 5-6 times a week for a whopping nearly 1600 calories just for a drink- 260 calories/coffee - that was the end of that - now itsa chai tea latte made with non fat milk 2x a week for 200 calories/week.

    My "standard" from Olive Garden, what I ALWAYS got.. the tour of Italy, lasagna, chicken parm, fettuccine alfredo, 1400+ calories... HOLY BLEEP BATMAN. (And that's not counting the salad and breadsticks... 2000 calorie meal right there).

    I used to drink a lot of apple and orange juice. Never from concentrate, always freshly squeezed so thought it couldn't be too bad for me. I was way wrong! So much sugar!!

    Kroger tortilla chips. Insanely full of sodium, fat, and calories. That's been the only surprise so far.

    Unfortunately for me, anything and everything. I wasnt a binge eater but I ate large portions and restaurants and fast food every time I got a chance. The day after I started here, I started looking up foods I used to eat and the first one I checked was Tony Roma's rib sampler platter. It was over 2200 calories! And that was just one meal for the day! Before retiring I was a fast food queen. Always McDonalds for breakfast and a different place for lunch! Then if I was working late hours, it would be a call in to a nice restaurant and pick up on my way home or pizza and wings. Good gosh who knows how many calories I was consuming.

    pizza... i could eat a pizza that was 1000-2000 calories a pizza, i only ever order pizza from a light bites menu now and always without the cheese since i've gone vegan. i've realised pizza on the light bites menu is always around 600-650 calories minus the cheese it's only around 400 calories a pizza, score :D it's just about being smart!

    Also pringles, 900 cals a tub and i could go trough 1-2 tubs a day (only bought them once a week but still!) thats 1800 calories in one sitting! i only ever buy the small tubs now so it's around 205 calories a go, it makes such a difference to not buy them in bulk!

    Timbits from Tim Hortons - you think you are doing better by eating a much smaller version of a full-sized donut, but in actuality, a small pack of ten Timbits can range anywhere from 600 - 900 calories depending on the type you get.

    How many of us have gone to an Italian restaurant that had those yummy breadsticks, and finished the bowl and asked for more? I just found out today after eating one with my salad before looking it up. Holy Schnikes! 170 calories EACH! And I used to eat 3 or 4 with dinner. Got me off my butt and dancing tonight so I could have enough calories for dinner.

    I am shocked about them breadsticks I'm never gonna eat one again.... Ok maybe just one
