You know, that food, or drink, that you think is 'ok' but when you looks at it closer gives you heart palpitations?

For me, I think it has to be butter. Per serve is fine, but it is SO easy to add a 'little bit more' and totally screw the numbers. Hot toast anyone? crumpets? I don't dare buy crumpets any more. :sad:

Next after that is probably potatoes. Mashed potatoes? with a 'little bit more' butter even. :O

What's yours?

    Just a simple toasted cheese sandwich for me ... Thought it was a relatively safe option but totally not worth the calories!

    Sausages, not for the calories, but for the salt, OMG the amount of salt in them is ridiculous.

    BTW< you can still have crumpets, just put the penut butter straight on the crumpet, it melts soooo good :-)

    sacrilege! crumpets have butter! (or vegemite if you are feeling magnanimous)

    Sausages seem to be getting very expensive calorie wise. 20 years ago the 'average' sausage was 115 cals. I've seen some newer store branded (not the fancy lamb and feta types) ones going for 222 EACH. I thought that was per serve and a serve was two..but t was only one sausage. :o

    PB on crumpets is pure awesome. Vegemite is the evil element here and should not come within cooee of a crumpet!

    As for sausages, if people like them and are looking for a better alternative, I'd suggest giving kanga bangas a go. They are a lot more dense and less fatty than traditional sausages as you would expect. The macros on them are actually very good, and they are a good thing to take to a BBQ without looking like the 'health freak' everyone rolls their eyes at :laugh:

    Did this last night & added some sf maple syrup. Was good :smile:

    Although, I already knew I just had a look at the chips at Oporto on the weekend. 500cals for one medium serve when the whole wrap I got was only 560 and WAY bigger. Hence why I generally skip the chips.

    Probably craziest though was the Reece's PB cheesecake I got from Cheesecake Factory in the US. 1350cals per slice :tongue:

    Hot chips, pizza, cheese in general. Never realised how much cheese I enjoyed adding to everything until I had to measure it out.

    Still, oven bake chips, homemade pita bread pizzas and reduced fat cheese (and less of it) are generally doing the trick now. It's only the cheese that haunts me now - I still struggle with wanting more. The pizza and chips are not worth it for me anymore.

    really?

    THey're just starchy carbs. Generally it's the high fat items that surprise people being that fat is 9cals/gram.

    Being of Italian descent pasta is the killer, just not worth it if your only on 1200 cals per day :/ I have adapted to Slimpasta, but not really the same thing.
