    Watch out for her when she gets older, FYI.. I was a chunky (well... more than just chunky) "little" girl and I developed the start of my disordered eating habits around her age..

    As for shocks... Um...
    - hard candy
    - ben and jerry's
    - certain breads (200+ cals for 1 slice!)
    - cereal ("healthy" cereal.. so frustratingly high in calories..)
    - diners (such good comfort food but wayyy too many calories)
    - granola bars (aka "healthy" candy bars)

    I'm actually more sad that a 9-year-old would be horrified that something was fattening, and say they would "be fat forever," meaning they already think they are fat.

    *sigh*

    ^^^ this shocks me too

    whats so shocking abt this? kids can look at their peers and see that they are overweight. its not shocking for a 9yr old to understand. its just as important for a kid to be knowledgeable abt what they put in their bodies as an adult.

    butter is definitely scary. so our potato chips. they taste great and 200 calories later, one just has a guilt trip. so is cake with the creamy frosting.

    bagels and muffins! I used to always buy them from tim hortans and would eat them as though they were healthy.. until I actually looked into the fat and calories in them. :(
    also like many people, peanut butter.

    1 tbsp per all oils
    cheese
    whipping cream/heavy cream
    butter
    heavy cream/milk-based sauces
    all nuts
    1 tbsp per all nut butters
    pasta/breads


    I personally feel that any type of food can have alot of calories regardless of size, carbs, fats, or proportions.

    It all really comes down to enjoying them in moderation, imo.

    Hmm Ranch..I make mine with a powder flavoring using skim milk and no fat mayo...it's sooo yummy.

    As for what shocked me...nothing really...except for what 1lb of ground beef looks like vs what I thought it looked like.

    I eat butter over margarine, choose smoked pork loin sliced thin like bacon, I refuse to stop with the cream in my coffee but it's not teh 18% mf one but the 10%mf....and I always choose low/non fat items instead of regular..ie cheese, or whole grain instead of white ie pasta/bread, brown over white ie rice/sugars

    Coffee drinks and restaurants meals. Do they just pour extra calories on these things?! Oh wait, I think I answered my own question.

    And WATERMELON is killing me at the moment! I'll have a whole one over the course of a day or two- that's over 1000 calories to budget in.
    Wait. What? Watermelon has calories? Say it ain't so! *wails*

    Innocent Smoothies - ridiculously high sugar content, & yeah the sodium levels in pre made food.. Oh! & "healthy/low calorie" supermarket options. Might as well being having the real deal! :grumble:

    Meusli.

    I always had the impression it was so healthy, but in the portions I was eating (with milk) it was 600+ calories before I had even started my day!

    Butter for me. I would eat a ton of it (good, real butter and none of the fake crap!) with different things....
