this thread makes me sad, because people are talking about food like fruits, vegtables (like avocados), and whole grain bread, in a bad way. like these are foods to avoid.0

Just discovered this little *gem* last night: Zaxby's Asian Zensation salad? 1115 calories...OH. EM. GEE. Seriously???? Of course, the website lists 400 calories in dressing alone and I can gladly lose the sketchy eggroll, but people (who obviously don't use MFP) think they are eating healthy when ordering a salad! You could eat three cheeseburgers from McNasty's for only 900 calories!0

Mine was muffins... boy do i like me some Dunkin Donuts or Costco muffin with a cup of coffee! But when I added it on MFP i almost fell off my chair!!!!!0

MIcrowave popcorn.
It doesn't help that the nutrition label includes 'unpopped' and 'popped' nutrition info. Who the hell is going to eat that stuff unpopped??0 -
Logged a PB&J 600 calories. Went to Jimmy Johns with a friend we both had Beach Club. I chose lettuce wrap with no mayo. Her's was around 800 calories. Mine dropped to 300!!!0

I was surprised at pecan halves. BUT, I also realize these are not bad calories. Much better for me then a candy bar. Still surprised just the same though.0

Movie Theatre Popcorn - 1,600 calories in a large!0

Salsa! Crazy sodium in just one serving, which is only 2 tablespoons. I can balance 2 tablespoons on one chip!
Is that prepared or fresh? We whip up some pickled, jalapeno, onion, garlic, and canned diced tomato in a food processor and can eat a LOT! Takes a whole 2 minutes to make.
The canned tomatoes are what gets you, swap 'em out for fresh0 -

My PB&J is around 200 calories. 1 tablespoon of Jif Creamy, 1 tablespoon Welch's grape jelly and 2 slices Heiner's 35 Calorie Hearty Wheat Bread.0 -
Chicken kievs and cheese. It was actually kind of heartbreaking. I knew cheese wasn't good in massive portions anyway, but the calories and fat are still pretty up ^ there even in small portions. And there's huge numbers of fat in some kievs, at least the ones I used to buy, phew!0

^^^^ This! I have friends that order salads... yes, there are leafy greens in it, but they add the cheese, bacon, nuts, raising... etc... and you have yourself a 900 calorie salad!0 -

Trail mix for sure. Granola. I was mostly shocked by what a serving actually was. I probably ate at least 3 servings of everything. I can't imagine that now! lol
On a positive note, I never realized how low calorie popcorn was!0 -
