Oh , those bloody cookies at subway! I go into subway "to be good" then the next thing I know Ive bought 2 or 3 of those cookies, and at around 200cals each, its more calories then my measly salad sub!
Yeah, you'd be better off getting a 12 inch veggie sub than a 6 inch and cookies. Darn cookies look SO good....
A 6 inch and cookies? Sounds like a fun date. :laugh:

440 calories for an Asiago bagel with reduced fat veggie cream cheese from Panera. Womp, womp.
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by that... it IS basically bread and cheese, after all.0 -
Popcorn!! I used to eat the natural kind from the bag, by the bag....OOPS! haha i thought it was healthy! Now I just do the air popped kind which is better anyways0

Needless to say I don't eat out anymore, if I have to I go to taco bell and get a single fresco burrito or Subway and get a 6inch spinach and egg white flat bread.0 -

Olive Garden salad and breadsticks. You can do more hurt with those than you can with the meal.
I agree with this...had this at Olive Garden (minus the bread sticks) and about fell over when I logged it! SOOO not worth it!!!!!!0 -
McDonalds McCafe Frap- 600 calories. And I couldn't even get the pleasure of chewing it. Never again will I allow myself a little treat w/o checking its stats 1sst!0

You can make your own 'trop50' by diluting your oj 50% with water0 -

OMG!! I know!! They are to die for!! I didn't realize how many cals were in them.0 -
Tortillas. Soft-taco size is 110 a piece, but when I eat tacos I tend to inhale them. Not fun. I've tried making my own tortillas and they turn out icky, so I just take it easy on them overall.0
-
Bowl(s) of cereal... OMG0
-
Orange Juice. Like liquid candy. Haven't drank it in a year...0

Tim Hortons (in Canada) Low fat muffins... Calorie, fat and even sugar wise it was better to eat the cherry cheese danish that one of the low fat muffins.0

I would like to think I have willpower but I would fold like a paper dam if I was you. I love pastry waaaaaaaaay to much , I would have to quit.0 -
Arby's Market Fresh Turkey and Swiss sandwich. 720 calories!!!!!! I could of had the roast beef!0

Pretty much anything on the 99 Restaurant menu!! We were on the road today and were out much longer than expected, so we stopped there for lunch! Thank God for my smart phone...I looked up calories before ordering and went with least damage...which cost 520 calories...most of the other choices I would have picked were over 1000 and 1300 calories!! An entire day's food in one sitting...no thanks! (even though preMFP I wouldn't have thought twice about it!)0

Seeing a whole lot of people shocked about 1000 calorie meals and such, or that they are eating a slice of pie that has 800 calories and it is half of their daily intake. You should never be shocked at the calorie count of anything: chips are either tortilla or potato . . . both dense high calorie foods. Cake is cake, no matter how you slice it (haha slice), muffins are cake marketed as a breakfast food, all they are is oversized cupcakes. If you watn a low calorie dinner, here's a great one: Tyson's frozen chicken tenderloins (1 serving), 1 serving of Trader Joe's ready to cook brown rice, and some Del Monte fresh whole potatoes (they're in a can). Eat 1 serving of all those things i guarantee you'll be full and you will only have had about 3-400 calories. Also, the more protein you eat, the more full you'll feel, and longer.0
