Garlic bread.. I nearly died when I read just how much was in it... I knew it would be up there.. But really
I was thinking it was 'ok' too, until I read the calories. And you can't really heat up a 'serve.' So no more garlic bread unless I am out or have someone to share it with. One stick is almost a full days calories

What I do for garlic bread now is I buy a big bag of the tiny dinner rolls from Woolworths (the really small ones) and I make my own individual serves of garlic bread. I make them up and wrap in foil and freeze. I know exactly how many cals are in each one because I control the amount of butter etc that goes in and they are individual serves. I can ask who wants garlic bread and who doesn't and only toss in the number of rolls that will be eaten so I am not tempted by leftovers. Give it a try

i went by the nutritional panel on the bottom of some smoked almonds and it worke out at off the top of my head around the 80cal mark for 25g. It is sooo wrong, my jaw dropped when i saw what almonds really are. I dont think half the panels are correct.I was eating raw almonds thinking they were ok..... yikes!0 -
Thank you sooooo much msbunnie68 :flowerforyou: , I should have double checked that one but I thought maybe it was because of a high natural sugar content . . . . off to munch on snow peas!
LOL that scared me! I love snow peas too, had a "oh NO!" moment
Yes, thank you msbunnie68 for clearing that up.0 -
Seconding the comment about Subway cookies. When I have takeaway I make it Subway usually, because I can choose something relatively healthy there. Then my kids, who are likewise having a nice healthy dinner, want cookies for dessert and ever since I checked the value of them I will say flat out "no". It actually makes me a bit angry that Subway present themselves as a healthy/(ier) alternative, and then have sugar-laden/chocolate/fat cookies on display. Of which one would equal more than half the calories of the dinner I just ordered for myself.0

well i double checked and the little tub of smoked almonds i get that are made here in s.a are indeed only 73 calories per 25grams. must be because they are smoked, they are very little and dry. i will still enjoy them but will stay well clear of the raw ones. :smokin:

Oh! brilliant idea! (Very big DUH moment too!)0 -
Fried Rice..
It looks so plain sometimes... its rice and some veggies.
Although I dont know how accurate the calories are online.0 -
Eggs Benny = 1000 calories

MInes not food....its alcohol!0

Wraps - they seem so good for you but the tortilla wrap itself is laden in calories! Better off with a sandwich.0

I stopped using tortilla wraps and starting using Rye Mountain Bread (flat bread) much better on the cals.0 -
Moutain Bread tastes like cardboard0

white rice! I cannot believe how many cals are in just 1 cooked cup! and I thought it was a healthy alternative to pasta?0

rice is one of those funny listings you need to check carefully before entering as one cup of uncooked rice has heaps more calories than one cup of cooked rice.0 -

Yeah that always gets me too. I still to 0.5 cooked.
White rice isn't the best, so I try red and brown rice sometimes throw in a bit of black too! Can't do without my morning rice. I think it is much less calories than pasta, much less processed and much yumimer so I'm happy.
My surprise food... well, of course cake and chocolate is high so no need to be 'surprised'.
NUTS and SEEDS! I love them so much but my god, they are full of calories lots of good fats and nutrients so heavy moderation is the key! 0 -
Had a muffin and lost half a days calories in one hit! 0

Margarita pizza I get from the local pizza shop. They lather so many different types of cheeses and it adds up over to 1000 calories...
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Also, cheeses like Brie, Camembert, Cheddar, Gouda, Blue Vein...gah just cheese in general. I miss it. Went clean vegan so I've kept away! 0 -
Yes I know!!!! How sad.0

1 can of Ayam coconut cream- I made myself a vegetable curry- it bumped up the cals by an extra 700+ !!
Delicious though!0 -
I used to buy that premade Latina Fresh Spinach & Ricotta agnolotti from Coles or Woolies and I'd eat the whole thing 'serves 2' - close enough! Haha but I'm pretty sure there is like 5 'servings' in the package.
Over 1000 calories.
Then I'd add sauce.
Then cheese.
And that is just dinner.
Damn I miss that stuff though.0 -
Anzac bikkie calories make sense though, if you remember they were originally made to be sent to the Diggers in WWI as something small, portable and non-spoiling to eat while marching, waging war, etc. If made with traditional recipes they should be calorie dense. That was sort of the point.
Nuts are my downfall. I should eat them, they are good for me, but SO MANY CALORIES and so moreish I just can't have them in the house. I'm always shocked by how small a serve is.0 -
Licorice allsorts. Just one is 50cals!0
-
Definitely garlic bread! Especially when it is drowning in garlic butter.
and the other day I had HALF an almond croissant. That might be my last, ever. I can't believe there can be over half a day's calories in something that isn't even a meal. :sad:0 -
