worst foods you used to eat

Oh geez I was bad. I would get a double stack from wendys with large fries and large Dr. Pepper. I ONLY drank Dr. Pepper or sweet tea. I also loved bread. Anywhere I could get it. The Wawa sub- 10 inch double meat on white bread with american cheese, extra mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion......I was easily putting away about 5000+ calories a day. It was terrible.

UK Costco's pizza. We are due to go there on Staurday and I was looking forward to a slice of pizza, but I have just checked out the calories on the database and 620 is just too much for one slice of heaven :sad:

Stuffed crust pizza... from anywhere, with pretty much any topping! As long as it was a LARGE! 1000's of calories!

Chicago-style pizza. So. Much. Cheese.
And beer. Lots of beer.

Dang, Y'all are making me hungry!

The bento box at any of the sushi places around here: rice, teriyaki chicken, miso, salad, salmon and avocado rolls, tempura vegetables shrimp and crab, and gyoza.
Over 1900 calories and 4000 mg of sodium. I would eat it at least once a week for lunch, and still be hungry for dinner.

Chips and dip....they are addictive...I won't buy them anymore bc I feel like I have !

Old Chicago's Meat Me Large Deep Dish Pizza.



I'd down about 3 slices: 3,215 calories.

And that was after the mozzerella sticks and caprese salad.

I haven't cut anything out, I just don't eat as much. Typical meal at Burger King for me would be 2 Original Chicken sandwiches, large fries, 1 or 2 double cheeseburgers and a large coke.
Typical meal at Taco Bell would be 4 soft taco supremes, Nachos Bell Grande, and then I'd stop somewhere for a Coke and probably pick up a double cheeseburger or fries.
Jack in the Box was bad too, I would get an Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger, large curly fries, 2 tacos and a large coke.

The one place I really haven't been to lately (because they don't have nutrition info and I'm not very good at guessing how many cups of a particular item are on my plate) is Casa Ole. I would always get the Nachos Ole (and eat most of it myself) and a Grilled Fajita Burrito.

Tony's Frozen Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza was a staple of my diet, too. I'd load it with more pepperoni, half a cup of cheese and then it eat it myself. It's supposed to serve 3.

I think back to my grandparents who ate out maybe three times a year. They ate from their garden, always had a home cooked meal for dinner. The worst thing in the house was butter! No one "exercised" - you were outside working in the yard!

Now it's just so easy to grab hamburgers, fries, pizza, donuts, etc. without a second thought and look what it's done to us - we have to have websites to help us monitor our food and exercise. Progress isn't always progress.

That being said, I can eat an entire box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese by myself.

I use to eat a ton of fast food. I would go out for lunch everyday and eat it and then I would get it to take home for dinner. My go to places were McD's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and Papa Johns. I still get it for take out occasionally (1 or 2 times a month), but I select better options. I only get salads at McD's with grilled chicken (about 400 cals) and if we get pizza, it's 2 slices tops, no more. Back in the day, I could easily eat 4 or more.

I've never looked at the calorie content, but at Dairy Queen, I would get a foot long chilli cheese dog, onion rings, BBQ sandwich, and large sweet tea. I'm sure it has to be pushing 2,000 cals in one meal. UGHHH!! Makes me kind of sick to think of now.

My other weakness is Olive Garden. All of those meals are high carb, plus those delicious breadsticks. And of course, I got the alfredo sauce to dip them in. My favorite dish is the chicken and shrimp carbonara. I looked it up one time and the meal itself, without salad and breadsticks and alfredo sauce, was 1500 cals!!! If I add in the other items I ate, I was consuming over 3,000 cals in one sitting. Plus, the 2 glasses of wine I would have with it. I still love my Olive Garden, but we only go once a year now for our anniversary. It helps that we don't have one nearby. The closest one is about an hour away.

Sausage and Egg McGriddle.

mmmmmmmmmm

OMG!!! These are soooooooo yummy!!!

silkandsugar

Creme puffs and Doritos for breakfast. Or cookies and cream shakes from Steak and Shake. All for breakfast. WTF?

wickedcricket

loaded french fries from Gold Star chili. If you don't live in a town with cincinnati chili, you don't even know about this stuff. But greasy, spicy chili, french fries, cheese & sour cream .... a heart attack on a plate and I'd scarf it like a refugee

Princess_Sameen

:blushing: Stuffed crust pizza!! followed by clotted cream ice cream! well over 5000kcal was madness!!

For breakfast, I would make 2 stops.... Sonic - Large chili cheese tater tots with mustard & onions, large coffee w/ 2 shots of espresso (i still get this lol), french toast sticks w/extra syrup; Jack-In-The-Box - three egg rolls w s&s sauce and a 7 pc cheddar peppers w/ranch. Or sometimes, I would go by McDonald's and get the Big Breakfast with extra sausage and a McGridle and coffee. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal

Olive Garden... My mom and I would go there and we would get the bread sticks and salad, but with the break sticks we would get dipping sauces and then our huge pasta meal and ALWAY take home a dessert to eat. Well over 3,000 calories for all that!!! And that was just my dinner meal! The thought of it makes me a little sick now, that alfrado pasta is NO good!!! (meaning health wise, taste wise it's amazing!!!) :ohwell:

I have cut out the Starbucks and Caribou Coffees. Lots of empty calories and carbs!!

VictoriaAStone

I 100% agree with this!! I never realised how easy it was to over eat until i started using this site and seeing the calories in everything.... I now have started weighing my food and boy was i in for a shock!!! 100g isnt alot really with certain things although it is LOADS in Veg & Salad lol. This website is a god send.. Good luck to you all

I'm starting to realize how EASY it is to eat 2 or 3 times your recommended calories and not even feel like you've hardly eaten anything.

I can remember making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and they must have been 700-800cals, maybe even 1000 cals. Of course I was aware that they fell into the "high-calorie" category, but it never really "clicked" that I was "over-eating" because the actual bulk of food I was eating was not huge. Just last night I got some honey bbq boneless chicken from the deli, thinking they were maybe 400 cals + -. They were actually 900+ cals for 10 little chunks!!

So, what's the worst food you used to eat and don't anymore?

Croque Monsieur, there isn't enough digits to outline the calories of those bad boys, delicious though lol.

natureluvingal

It is just me or is reading this list of "worst foods you used to eat" making you hungry as well? There are so many items on this list that are delicious!!!

I stopped buying Sara Lee's pound cake, strawberries and whipped cream. I can never just have one bite.

A local bar around the corner has $.35 buffalo wing specials... that was delicious and after a long day of work, the chicken wings would beckon... I learned to go home from another street.

fountain pepsi or cherry coke. The big like 32 oz from a gas station.

You know having one every once in awhile won't kill me...but when that was ALL I drank ALL day, every day...that was a problem.

Proud to say I beat the addiction to it, lost 20lbs and now am able to let myself indulge in one soda every week. :-)

jenalderman

Oh....I totally forgot about the Fajita Nacho Jalisco..... about 3 times a week for lunch!!!

I still eat everything I used to eat (with the exception of maybe one or two things), only I used to eat way too much of everything and now it is controlled. If I want to go out with friends and eat a whole pizza, I have to work for it. Everything in moderation!
