    Foods don't make you fat. Excess calories make you fat.

    Unless, of course, the food is crawling into your mouth at night while you're sleeping.

    omg.gif Absolutely no food makes you gain weight. It's eating excessive calories that does that.

    I was addicted to Einstein Brothers Bagels Chicken Caesar salads at work. They even included a bagel!

    I got one almost daily and usually with the cinnamon raisin bagel for "dessert". I was so proud of myself for having a salad almost every day and couldn't figure out why my weight was climbing.

    Was upset when they discontinued them and complained. Come to find out it was because they were way too unhealthy. The salad was just 22 gm carbs but 720 calories, 56gm fat! The bagel I'd get added an additional 273 calories (60 carbs on one item, not good for someone carb sensitive).

    Whole grains
    Restaurant salads
    Fruit-still struggle with this
    cottage cheese-tons of sodium

    Depends on the kind of spider, and what it has been eating. Free range spiders have a different nutritional makeup from a commercially bred spider.

    I've been told to "eat a d**k" on several occasions. I wonder if it's because penis is low in calories, an they're just really giving me weight loss advice.
    Ladies beware! Those things can create a gradual, steady weight gain for about 9 months!

    Not according to my mom. She said that slow dancing can have the same effect too.

    The only food I've seen gain weight was pasta.

    It gets heavier when I cook it. I think it's just water weight though, from absorbing some water when I boil it.

    AWESOME!!! :laugh:

    That's not how it works. You didn't gain weight from eating fruit. You gained weight because you ate at a surplus.

    This! You aren't eating at a calorie deficit/maintenance intake if you are gaining....

    I know when I was younger I thought stuff like trail mix was okay to eat in massive quantities, and... here I am today lol
    I used to think that too when I was younger. :laugh:
    I've never read anywhere that mangos cause weight gain. In fact, they have a low glycemic level and are thought to help with weight loss
    I've never heard that either,, that's weird. Last summer I ate a lot of mangoes and I didn't gain weight from it. @OP: You gained weight from those things because you more than likely ate more calories overall than you needed.

    Dried fruits
    Juice.

    And the big surprise:

    Starbucks Matcha. Has 38 grams of sugar ON ITS OWN. Stunning.
    Macha should NEVER have sugar. It's just ground tea leaves for God's sake.
