    Starbucks Venti Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha, full-fat milk with whipped cream - 700 calories! For a drink!

    Edited to add: 20 oz. (the hot-drink Venti size) of whole milk is about 370 calories... that means that the other 330 comes from the syrup/flavoring and whipped cream. Good grief!
    PEANUT BUTTER.... crazy amount of calories whenever you could have PB2: the best thing ever invented. AND it's deliiiiiiiiiicious
    Some things are worth the calories! 2 Tbsp of natural PB is less than 200 calories, and the fat in PB is healthy fat - if you limit your portions, all-natural (no salt/sugar/oil added) PB can be a regular part of a perfectly healthy diet. High Calorie / High Fat does not always equal bad.

    Here in Canada, we have light peanut butter...it's only 80 calories per tablespoon..paired with some multigrain crackers you have a snack under 200 calories

    That's why I love MFP-I put things in BEFORE I eat them, then I don't eat them. But damn I do LOVE those milkshakes

    OMG I love Sesame sticks, just mailed some to my momma cause she couldn't find any. Oh just the thought of those used as dippers in some hummus makes me want to dive in and roll around for hours...yum yum

    A cup of tea with milk & sugar.

    There's a lot of database entries for 30-40 calories or so, but for a typical cup of tea here, that's not accurate!

    I like a big mugful (as do most NZers) so that's about 100ml of whole milk = 60 calories
    And the "teaspoons" of sugar aren't real teaspoons - they're 10g each rather than 4g - cos a home teaspoon isn't an accurate measure AND they're heaped so there's another 77 calories

    BOOM, pretty much 140 calories for a drink that the database entries try to tell you is 100 cal less!

    I once loved that place, but it just not worth it to go back after reading about their what seems to be healthy menu. Most dishes have enough calories and sodium to last me a week!

    Taco Bueno recently got some better choices. But all the original menu items - bad, bad, bad. Ate there today and it was good. Now I need to be good for the next several days.

    PEANUT BUTTER.... crazy amount of calories whenever you could have PB2: the best thing ever invented. AND it's deliiiiiiiiiicious

    however peanut butter, like all nuts and nut butters, is high in calories and fat but it's good fat and very nutritious (as long as you're not getting the kind loaded with sugar) whereas the PB2 and reduced fat peanut butters, yes they're lower in calories, but they're worse for you nutritionally. it's better to have less of the good stuff then more of the low fat stuff (unless something is lower fat because its' baked not fried)

    Ritz crackers! 170 cals for 5 crackers - and I used to polish off half a sleeve, easily, every day with my lunch (15 crackers or so). And if that isn't bad enough, they are loaded with hydrogenated oils. Threw them all in the garbage after I noticed that.

    One slice of cheese pizza from the Costco food court = 700 calories. Yikes.

    Granted, that is a large slice; if you buy the whole pizza, they cut it into twice as many slices. which makes it a bit easier to control the damage.

    Zaxby's fried corn nuggets. They're these little things, about the size of the tip of your thumb. I had a few and it turned out over 400 calories. I could have had three corn on the cob and gotten fewer calories !

    Also, Costco All american chocolate cake. Ranges from 600 - 1000 calories depending on how you slice it.

    Or as I call it - the annoying deficit cake.

    I was surprised in some of the salad dressings. And in Peanut butter you would think that would be a lower number. The all natural ones have less but still is quite a few calories for a small amount of it.
