Garlic bread.. I nearly died when I read just how much was in it... I knew it would be up there.. But really
I was thinking it was 'ok' too, until I read the calories. And you can't really heat up a 'serve.' So no more garlic bread unless I am out or have someone to share it with. One stick is almost a full days calories0 -

What I do for garlic bread now is I buy a big bag of the tiny dinner rolls from Woolworths (the really small ones) and I make my own individual serves of garlic bread. I make them up and wrap in foil and freeze. I know exactly how many cals are in each one because I control the amount of butter etc that goes in and they are individual serves. I can ask who wants garlic bread and who doesn't and only toss in the number of rolls that will be eaten so I am not tempted by leftovers. Give it a try0 -

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!
LOL that scared me! I love snow peas too, had a "oh NO!" moment
Yes, thank you msbunnie68 for clearing that up.0 -
Seconding the comment about Subway cookies. When I have takeaway I make it Subway usually, because I can choose something relatively healthy there. Then my kids, who are likewise having a nice healthy dinner, want cookies for dessert and ever since I checked the value of them I will say flat out "no". It actually makes me a bit angry that Subway present themselves as a healthy/(ier) alternative, and then have sugar-laden/chocolate/fat cookies on display. Of which one would equal more than half the calories of the dinner I just ordered for myself.0

Wraps - they seem so good for you but the tortilla wrap itself is laden in calories! Better off with a sandwich.0

I stopped using tortilla wraps and starting using Rye Mountain Bread (flat bread) much better on the cals.0 -

rice is one of those funny listings you need to check carefully before entering as one cup of uncooked rice has heaps more calories than one cup of cooked rice.0 -
