I thought this might be interesting!
What foods are you shocked that you used to eat? Or maybe that you used to eat more than the 'portion size' of?
I remember eating what I called 'half moon cake', the entire thing, in one day or sometimes one sitting. I looked it up recently and found the food in question to be called 'Dan cake, half moon marble cake', and it's 400 odd calories for 100g. The whole cake is 350g....
Talk about a wake up call! Anyone else looking back with shock and disgust?!! Haha.

It's mostly the amount, not the kind of food that i'm surprised about0

I remember when I used to eat bland flavorless baked chicken breast, salad and non-fat plain yogurt all the time. I cringe at what I ate during those days.
Now I eat delicious steaks, ice cream, pizza and burgers. So much better and less repulsive.0 -
Only surprised at the portion sizes I used to eat, not what. I'm actually more surprised at what I like eating now in the area of veggies and fish which I didn't like before.0

I don't get why I ate french fries. I did low carb but even when I eat more carbs I don't get why I wasted so many calories on french fries. I don't even like them that much. I'd eat them just because they came in a value meal or were the side. That's my main thing, I ate things just because they were there.0

Soda. Especially Mountain Dew. Don't even get me started on what I found is in that stuff. It's the stuff of nightmares and for years I drank 3-5 of them a day along with fast food thinking it wouldn't do anything.
I don't drink soda at all anymore.
or eat at fast food chains.0 -
All the 'diet' food that I used to eat. I'll never eat an artificially manipulated low fat/low calorie food again!0

I had the chicken alfredo one a few weeks ago - well worth the 1500 calories. I agree with a PP, I can't believe what I used to force myself to eat because I thought it was better for me. I was so stupid eating a small bowl of Special K, a lean cuisine, non-fat yogurt, and grilled chicken and veggies.
There's nothing wrong with that, but I am so glad I educated myself to portion my normal foods and enjoy so much more food for the same amount of calories.0 -
I loved these and had them whenever I could.. now i think the sugar would kill me.

Like 20 mins ago, I used to eat a glazed croissant-donut (in the spirit of a cronut) and I'm disgusted that I didn't buy more of them.0

I don't know why but these kind of creations always make me think of my friend's dad and what he would cook after indulging in some of the "herb of the field". He'd put peanut butter, banana, vegemite(salty yeast spread), sardines, jam and cheese in a sandwich and grill it. I tried it once and it actually wasn't awful.0 -
Liters of iced Pepsi, I still drink a bit here and there but not more than once every one/two week.
Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino, holy craaaap. It's so nasty, I haven't had it in like atleast 6 months,my bf had one couple days ago and I took a sip, it's so sweet, so bleeeh, lol. But before I would drink it couple times a week.0 -

Just soda, used to drink 3-4 cans of dew daily. So much sugar, which makes me crave more sugar0

Surprised in regards to portions? Yes. Disgusted? No.
The only food I get "disgusted" about are the ones I don't like.0 -

I'm in for one, too.... I was just thinking about Cinnabon, today. Their website says a few less calories and sugar in the 'Classic' than MFP does.0 -
As a dominos employee I can completely agree with you. That there is like...1000 calories. Pasta in the dish is about 600.0
