The cheesecake shop white gold mud cake......friends birthday cake last night, 1 peice with me having 385 calories in hand would be fine right? WRONG!!!! 190g slice, 690 calories!!!!!!!!!0
-
tim tams...about 55cal for just one.
(I used to eat like 3 or 4 ever second DAY!)
lol!
speaking of biscuits! delta creams, or anzac cookies...

I was eating raw almonds thinking they were ok..... yikes!
DITTO! And walnuts? Don't even get me started...0 -
I should really have known this one but coconut milk.
I have a case I bought at Costco that I'm going to have to give away. One can has almost 700 cal.
I'll definitely be trying the evaporated milk with coconut flavour instead !0 -
Hot chips. Shouldn't be a suprise but I just can't get my head around how few chips add up so quickly.
And nuts. You feel healthy eating them, but a serve of nuts is actually way smaller than I think it is!!0 -

I went the raw cashews... Boy was I wrong. No more nuts here...0 -

Tim Tams are actually 100 calories each

Garlic bread... figured it had some calories, more than just a bit - didn't expect as much as it has for little pieces, haha.0
-
Coconut cream here... I use it in my curry - I think from now on I will be using half a can per curry instead of a full can.
Or, if there is a better alternative please tell!
Another one is the raspberry, white choc blondies that I made yesterday. Almost 300 Cal per piece =( So now I can't eat them, and have to give them all away.0 -
There's Carnation coconut milk which is sorta, but not quite the same. I've also tried coconut essence and Carnation milk before but that's even worse.
:-(0 -
Those thick cut cafe style fruit breads - 253 cals/slice.
I eat almonds every day. But only 10
0 -
toasted muesli & almonds
And OMG are Anzac cookies really 130 cals each!!?0 -
Garlic bread.. I nearly died when I read just how much was in it... I knew it would be up there.. But really0
-
A muffin- especially with chocolate!0
-
hmmm cheese kabana, banana bread, doritos, sausages in general..0

I was starting today with my new lease on life... Then ate almost a full 175g bag of CC's. THEN started MFP food diary and yep, the CC's were 1036 calories. Almost my whole daily allowance.
(Plus all the other stuff I ate today)
So - first day and I've eaten 3 times my allowance. Feel sick. This is probably what I needed to get started. Tomorrow.0 -
Eggs Bennie...
I know, I know, it doesn't even sound remotely like it would be acceptable, but I bought a packet mix of hollandaise sauce which only had something like 50 calories in it! A bit of bacon, an egg, smoked salmon, and some turkish bread...and the entire thing absolutely killed me!0 -
subway cookies
at 200 calories each...i used to eat 3 after a sub!
Now i realise how many calories are in them, needless to say I dont have them anymore 0 -
Snack sized chocolate/chips, subway cookies and muesli bars/health bars. Too many calories and like no nutritional value. Lol0
-
Yep nuts - I love them and could way more than the "per serving" it says. I have to prepack them before going to work - or I'll eat the bag of them at morning tea.0

(I used to eat like 3 or 4 ever second DAY!)
my dad used to work at arnotts and bring the kg bags home... I have no idea how I wasn't overweight as a kid cos I used to steal them and eat them at all times of the day/night. Needless to say I really hate them now and will only eat them if offered at a tea or something. I don't even buy them0 -
Corn chips. Nearly fell off my chair when you realize the 136 calories are for 27g (approx 7 cornchips).0
-
^^^^
I second that,
Sneaky chicken twisties on the way home from work...
260cal later.....0 -
CC's.
I ate a packet before Christmas. THEN checked the calories. Have not eaten them since. Need I say more!!0 -
cheese cake.....Im sure it hypnotises me as im making it
Worst thing is at a birthday party: "Oh I'll have a little slice... thanks" *friend: btw, that one slice is 500 calories* SPIT TAKE. Not coooool 0 -
Snow Peas! 200 cals per 100g. I used to think I was being super healthy munching through a bowl of these. Now I use them sparingly.0

Rest easy...that entry that says snow peas (aust) is incorrect. 100g of raw snowpeas has about 40 calories. Go back to eating your bowls of snow peas.
..and I am going to edit that food entry to correct it. I am thinking whoever put it in confused calories and kilojoules!!!0 -
Thank you sooooo much msbunnie68 :flowerforyou: , I should have double checked that one but I thought maybe it was because of a high natural sugar content . . . . off to munch on snow peas!0

Dates was eating 8 a day - not now0
