    Deep fried Twinkies. Insane. They may sound healthy, but trust me, they're NOT.

    Krystal Chicks! 300 calories EACH! That's more than a Chick-Fil-A chargilled sandwich!

    And the Krystal burgers are 130 each, but I can't just eat one, or two.. or three. :sad:

    Pound cake is higher in fat (both butter and eggs) than your typical other types of cakes (flourless cakes are another thing entirely).

    Yoplait yogurt! 170 cal for 6 oz!!!!! I was shocked, but it taste so good. I was eating that stuff like it was crack! I gave it up when I discovered how long it takes for me to burn 170 calories during my workout.

    Tonic water!

    Gin & tonics used to be my signature "slim" drink, but then I looked at the label. It's just as bad as soda and juice! Bars usually don't carry diet tonic, so I just drink them at home now (Q Tonic at Whole Foods is also a good alternative to diet tonic water).

    You should drink club soda instead. It's wonderful and no cals.

    I know, and i love Granola for breakfast with pouring yoghurt. I have found it quite a journey where calories are concerned.
    I've only been using mfp for maybe three to four weeks, and i'm still weighing everything. Quite scary what i used to eat.
    Not difficult to pack 3000 a day. Now on 1380. x

    That little herb and garlic sauce pot that comes with Domino's pizza. Just one of them has about 200 calories. I won't be using them anymore. :(

    Seriously?!?!?! I usually have two of those if I ever indulge in Dominos :/

    actually, I eat junk and wonder how the calories aren't higher

    i'm not 100% true to the calorie logging, but i haven't cut out anything completely

    if i like it, i'll eat it, just not all the time of course

    I got fat off of sugar laden coffee drinks. I could drink two large Turtle Mocha drinks from Caribou in one day. Just one of them is 510 calories...


    I love those drinks too. I couldn't believe the calories and sugar. I even tried ordering the sugar free syrup in a skinny but they are still so bad so I had to just give up drinking them :-(
