Wow, 506 Calories for a Costco Hotdog! I'm so glad I checked before popping over to the warehouse in my lunch break.
Sadly I will have to watch my colleague wolf one down. Perhaps I should go through my last shopping bill and work out the calories before I go shopping at the end of the week. I Might save some money as well as calories.

I think I'm getting obsessed!

:bigsmile:

    I think this site is awesome too!! I went to Red Robin last weekend. And when I got home I checked this site to see if anything from Red Robin was in the database. To my surprise it was!! And Thank God I was watching the menu for something I thought would be low in calories...cuz I was thrilled when I noticed how little calories I ate and what a good choice I made.

    I am a bit obsessed too!!

    Have a good day!!

    I wish I would have checked before going to the mall yesterday. I ate a burger and fries from Five Guy's...1000 calories!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! And then when I got home my friend had made cookies...so I ate 2...I still stayed under my calories for the day but only because I got in 20 minutes of excercise.

    I always try to look them up before I go out to eat. I plan my whole day around that one meal out. I also let myself go crazy for one day every 2 weeks. I've consistently lost so this apparently works for me.

    Great thing about where I live is that any "chain" restaurant is required by law to post the calories right on their menu! That made me start thinking twice about what I ordered even before I discovered MFP. I don't think I'm obsessed yet, but getting very close. Lost 21 lbs so far, 9 since starting MFP.

    While that's a lot of cals, it's really not that bad. It's a huge dog and a big bun. Half the dog is probably enough to take care of you and I'll bet it's one of the better choices at Costco!

    What did you order at Red Robin? I have promised to take my daughter and her friend there over Spring Break because it is her friend's favorite place. I've only eaten there once, didn't love it, so I would love to go in and at least order something healthy!

    I transposed my number it was 560 calories. Must have been the shock :tongue:
    They are big hotdodgs and fortunately there was a massive queue so my work colleague didn't get to eat one. :laugh:
    I'm now sipping my cuppa soup (cajun spicy vegetable) and cultivating looking busy working at my desk. :wink:
