    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:

    Thai food, specifically Pad Thai.

    I haven't touched the stuff since I started here - there' s just no way I can fit it even close to my calories. *sniff*

    Cereal for sure! I didn't know how many calories 100 grams could contain :noway:
    And I haven't eaten any in quite a few months, it's so hard because they are like one of my favorite things to eat...

    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.

    Hamburger/Hotdog buns. A lot of varieties are over 200 per bun. I've switched to sandwich thins which are only 100 and really aren't that much different except they aren't as poofy.

    I don't understand why people say that popcorn shocked them. An entire bag of Orville Redenbacher's SmartPop microwave popcorn is something like 220 calories. It's my go to snack because it takes awhile to eat. It's certainly better than chips which can get out of hand in a big hurry.

    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!!!!!!

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

    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.
