I found out AFTER I thought I had eaten a healthy lunch and breakfast. What other foods have you come across which have surprisingly more calories than you expected?

    No amount of calories is going to stop me eating my Vogels lol. Brumbies also have a really meaty grainy bread that I love..

    Buy the sandwich vogels - then you can still enjoy it with less calories
    I was surprised that bananas and avocados are so high it calories. I love avocado on vogels

    There is also the very thin option too, a little thinner than sandwich bread.

    This is funny for me as I expected Vogels would have more calories than it does! My breakfast is usually about 250cals: Vogels with avocado (or tomato), spread and s&p

    flat whites. The first time I included those in my calorie tracking I was like "oh no now I'll have to drink black coffee". The calories are less with trim or soy milk but I almost always use full cream milk.

    I MISS bread in such a big way but it was seriously blowing my calorie allowances so cut back massively. However, I've just discovered Countdown sell Freya's Sandwich Thins which are a low carb option. They are lovely toasted and come in a few different flavours I think - well I've spotted Multigrain, Soy & Linseed & Wholemeal so far.

    They are in the MFP database and come out at roughly 120 calories per thin (two slices).

    Any bread.

    Mackenzie's is 156 per serve - which I didn't think was too bad - until I saw that 1 serve is 1 slice.

    Yep, loved the mckenzies bread until I realised one slice of that equalled 2 slices of anything else.

    Mine isn't so much the calories as the amount of fat in things. I never thought that boiled rice would contain fat and even the leanest of beef is still quite a high fat level and as for eggs :ohwell:

    Gluten free food. It's often loaded with extra sugar because of the taste of glutenfreeness. It fully sucks :(

    If anyone has any suggestions, knows of good brands that'd be appreciated.

    I found Vogels Soy and Linseed bread here in the UK and I was so happy, I don't care how many calories it has! I wish there were more flavours here.

    Not a huge bread fan, but it was the calories in nuts and peanut butter that suprised me. I used to always put heaps of cashews into our stir fries and beef peanut satay was a staple too.

    The good thing about vogels is that it doesn't have all the added sugar or preservatives that most other bread has. Just have one or two slices and enjoy it!

    One of the first changes I made. Really enjoying the long blacks now and apprecitae a good coffee over bad. The milky coffee is full of calories I would rather eat.

    soy and linseed is very low GI though, so have that for brekkie and might not need anything till lunchtime.
    marmite is gold - almost no calories.
