Food you thought weren't too bad until you logged them?

Zucchini muffin from Paradise Bakery... 690 CALORIES! I could have had 7 beers and been happier! with less calories!!:noway:

A SUBWAY white chocolate macadamia nut cookie!!!! That thing has 223 calories in it!

Yes! I used to get 2 of those instead of chips with my combo there...ackk!!

Salmon, its healthy and worth it but I didn't expect 360cals for 6 oz. Its on par with beef?!? Who knew...

Bananas!!!!

I was shocked too, but I don't mind the calorie count in bananas because I use them to stave off dessert cravings... Better to fill up on 120-130 cals by eating a banana than to have 500-600 cals on a slab of cake... For some reason, bananas work for me. (most of the time...)

"Low Fat" salad dressings - the sodium and sugar content knocked me for a loop. I now make all my own!

ThatsNotMine

Beer. wine, and liquor

a Shot has about 100-150 calories! A FREAKIN SHOT

Great thread - I had a real eye opener to a lot of things:

- Orange Juice - wow loaded with calories and sugar
- Cheese - had no idea how many calories were in just one ounce of Cheese
- Peanut Butter and Nutella - nut based and fairly healthy, but again - I had no idea how many calories were in just one TBSP of these - I used to habitually eat one or two TBSP of these just walking by the kitchen...

I KNOW!!! My natural PB says 200 cals for TWO tbsp! WHo knew!

milk. It has a lot more sugar in it than i thought it did. I'm a dairy junkie so I'm really having trouble cutting back on it.

Someone once told me in line at a bix box club store that you can mix water with CREAM and it tastes just like milk and there's no lactose (sugar) in cream. He was speaking in terms of low carb diet, but I seem to have remebered that for some reason.

avocados....you`d think as a vegetable, they would be great....NOPE...quite high in calories!

Rice. I used to think I was being good by eating a nice-sized serving of whole-wheat brown rice, but one serving is MUCH smaller than you would think. Much smarter about it now.

Seconding milk. I can't drink regular milk (had my gallbladder removed a few years back and I cannot have anything greasy or with too much dairy unless I want to feel like I ate razorblades all day) and I stick to unsweetened Silk almond milk, but I never expected it to be that bad for you.

Restaurant salads. They're marketed as "healthy" but they are crazy! I got one a while back knowing ahead of time that it was 1200 calories, but luckily it was huge so it became four separate meals for me.

Mine was mango pulp..thing...
I added it to my ice cream

A large Coke at McDonalds- 410 calories!!! I used to get one of those every chance I could until I gave up sodas. Tortillas and bread too. I'm going to find a healthier bread choice and a better peanut butter. Don't want to give up my healthy foods, but I definitely want to pick the best options out there for me.

The tuna sandwich I would get from Dunkin' Donuts on my lunch breaks- SUPER high in calories.

I saw little gummy butterflies on the counter and assumed they couldn't be thattt bad...then looking it up it's like 110 per 3 little gummies...wtf lol

Oh and Tuna at Subway...sooooo shocked how many calories it had..

ChelseyDesaray

I about died when i saw that Jimmy John's totally tuna on wheat had 744 cals. I was not expecting that either!!! The things you think are lower in calories when you eat out actually aren't! It is crazy!

butterfli7o

anything at Chili's... even the "light" dishes!

Ditto to this!
