    Sorry, but I gotta do this to you.

    Mama J's Kitchen here in Richmond, VA. The best restaurant in town, A small soul food restaurant. Soul as in they put their soul and a whole lotta love into everything. Here was dinner Wednesday night: fried chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes & gravy, string beans and cornbread. I put it (not counting the double chocolate cake which was another 800) at about 1600 calories. My first treat meal in a long time. But oh, it was soooo worth it.

    I'm going to be fantasizing about this meal now.

    I concur. Add a side of ribs and collards and I would die of happiness.

    I'd go to our local Mexican place and get a California burrito, which is around 900 calories, and then I'd have a piece of cheesecake which is generally around 500-600.

    all the stuff they mention to avoid on various threads in this forum :laugh:
    Yep! Sugar, chocolate, fast food, donuts, cheese, chips, Poptarts, Twinkies and M&Ms. It's so good to be bad. :devil:

    If I ever want a blow out, I go for a Chinese takeout.

    A full container of chicken chow mein is around 500 calories. Throw some fries in with it at around 300 - 400 calories, you have a HUGE plate of "unhealthy" food for under 1000 calories.

    WIN!

    Pizza. I absolutely love it, and could survive eating it daily. I always find a way to fit it in my daily calories but if I could have more I would. Also ice cream or cookies (especially cookie dough).
