Big Calories Bad Surprise

TamTastic

I didn't get overweight from eating too many bananas though! It was probably the brownies, chips, cheese, ahhhh....:noway:

Same here!

Second the motion on raisins! I love those little guys but had no idea that they had so many calories.

I still eat avocados -- ususally I spread 1/4 of one on bread and use it instead of mayo or other spreads. If you're going to have fat, that's the kind to have.

Granola is definitely a no-no. Such a shame because it is sooooo good!

Someone told me the other day that ONE bite of cheesecake has 100 calories in it, and I've never been able to forget that. Also that Dunkin' Donuts puts sugar in the their coffee grounds. Also that Tasti-D-Lite frozen yogurt has the same fat/ calories as Haagen Daaz! Have I ruined everybody's day now?

Finally, and this broke my heart, I stopped eating Cool Whip. I have been trying to follow Dr. Oz's guidelines of watching out for the first four ingredients in your food, and Cool Whip had three out of his four ingredients to avoid!!!!

Are you serious?? Sugar in the coffee?? Is that legal??? Man!!

What about...vegan baked goods. Are they healthier than things made with eggs and whole wheat flour? I always thought they were low-calorie too, but really they seem to be just as bad. Am I wrong?

a slice of pizza is what kills me....sigh! we ordered pizza last Friday and I was really good only one slice and tons of salad to fill me up, I could have eaten two more slices no problem but that would have been omg like 3/4 of my daily calories!!! and the sodium would have sent me into shock LOL

I hear thin crust is much better but I love that doughy stuff! lol

If they changed it to be 'healthier" I wonder how much worse it was lol

I seem to remember that it was about 400 calories at one time. Maybe it was a nightmare but that number does stick in my head.

$30 for a food scale - at any kitchen store or Amazon. Some apples are 80grams, some apples are 190grams. Same with bananas. The scales measure in grams and/or ounces. Mine goes up to 15 pounds. It will keep you honest.

peanut butter......190 cals for 2 tablespoons.....it's EASY to use that much or more on a sandwich or spread on an apple or banana!

I love peabut butter and I HATE that it's so high in calories!!! I could eat it three times a day!
