What food's calories have you been shocked by?

Milk! It's not a lot of calories but I always used milk as a filler for something. I will stick to my almond milk which has half the calories than skim!0

Pei Wei Spicy Chicken. I knew it was bad for me but 1400 calories for a meal?! NOT including the rice! Holy cow, no wonder I'm fat, I was eating that at least once a week for a good 5 months.
Agreed. And all the Thai food I thought was "healthy." Calories and sodium add up fast, and most of the time my stomach hurts after I eat this stuff. Not worth it!0 -
ummm, yeah!!!!! So, we went to Jersey Mike's, thought I would treat myself to something other than a salad, so I went with a grilled veggie wrap (wheat wrap, no salad dressing)...it was over 700 calories!!! WTF!!!??? I usually look at menus before I go places, so I know what I should or should not order...next time I will be sure to stick to my rule!0

Sushi. and not fried either! I was just curious the other day about how many calories were in one Crunchy Shrimp roll, come to find out it was almost 1/2 of my daily intake of cal's I freaked out! How can 1 small roll of Sushi have 500+ Calories??! So upsetting I could eat sushi everyday..
I don't think that's correct. It probably means the roll before its cut, therefore actually 6-9 pieces.0 -
Groats ,,, which is steal cut oats.. yeeks,,, back to regular oats for me0

Homemade subs I used Cobblestone whole wheat buns turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, and mustard. It was crazy high in calories after I thought that it would be super low.0

Have any of you tried the Flatout brand wraps? They have a few flavors that are 90 calories for the whole wrap and they are good sized. I love them and use them all the time. They make great individual thin crust pizzas too!1

Honestly, none. I have had a calorie calculator inside my head since my teenage years.2

Watermelon! I thought it was mainly just water and a little bit of sugar, so I thought I could tuck in. Wrong. 1400 calories each. I ate most of a whole one. I used up my calorie allowance and couldn't eat for the rest of the day.1
-
Fried Chicken!! I mean it should be no shock that's it isn't good, but over 500 calories for one breast!!! Oh the horror.0
-
Watermelon. I was blown out of the water when i found out how low in calories it was.
I thought because it tasted sop good it was bound to be bad. What a fool ive been .
Salmon surprised me.
Pizza base. I thought i was safe buying the base and making my own. I was fooled. :grumble:0 -
I was shocked by corn on the cob, even without butter it took a lot of my daily calories with it being veg i thought it would be safe!
