Chicken Katsu Curry at Wagamammas
1,103 calories per serving WITHOUT RICE
I don't even know how to process that information, what is the sauce made of?!?!0 -
It's just that... it's fried fish and fried potatoes. I'm all in favor of fitting it into your macros for the day, but no part of that sounds remotely low-calorie to me. Maybe they just don't have good options where you live. We can do things like burrito bowls here, with beans, lean meats, grilled veggies, cheese, salsa, lettuce, etc. Of course, you can tart it up with all kinds of rice, giant tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, fatty meat, queso, etc. and make it high calorie but it doesn't have to be!
:noway:Fish & chips! I knew it was bad but 1000 odd calories was ridiculous.
Also once drank a Mars milkshake thinking 'ahh, calories aren't too bad in this' then realised those calories were for 250ml and it was a 500ml bottle. Eeeep!
What's even more shocking is fish and chips is supposedly one of the healthiest take aways to have!
Since when?!
So i've heard...whether it's true is another story.0 -
I grabbed a chicken sandwich from Dunkin Donuts one day, not even thinking it would over 500 calories. It was almost 700. :ohwell:0

trail mix! Holy cow. I ate a cup of it. 600 cals, 60 some odd carbs, 24g fat....ugh.
Not to be pedantic, but that's the point of trail mix: to eat on a trail. You burn a tremendous amount of calories hiking/backpacking, and trail mix was "created" to give quick energy/fuel for that reason. When you're on a trail for several days, you WANT as many calories as you can pack into something light and non-perishable.
Also, I want a Thai Chicken Wing like... yesterday.0 -
I made this wonderful homemade cheesy bacon potato soup that I knew was bad, but it was worse then I thought. It was around 500 calories a cup.0

I can't recall when I got the fun surprise of realizing how many calories certain foods had in them- I think for me was more the size of the "serving" on the nutrition label. Like 1/2 a cup of ice cream. Or 3/4 a cup of cereal-which, as I learned after purchasing a food scale, is not necessarily correct either. Weighing the food is a true eye opener too!!!0

I read you loud and clear, but it's just that, at least back in the 80's I think, there was this perception that trail mix and granola were health food (and therefore you would eat it to lose weight... eyeroll... do you even science?!). I know when I was doing low-carb five years ago (what a disaster *that* was!) I decided that this was my best vending machine option and it was sort of a gateway drug to a sugar binge that lasted *forever* and I put back on all the weight I'd lost in the past year and a half. That stuff is kryptonite to me, I can suck down so many calories in one sitting. Luckily, it wasn't one of my favorite things, so I don't miss it and give it an extremely wide berth these days!trail mix! Holy cow. I ate a cup of it. 600 cals, 60 some odd carbs, 24g fat....ugh.

Movie Theater Popcorn without butter. I mean a small unbuttered is 350 calories and those smalls are smaller than a bag of microwave popcorn. Then add in the salt and it's just plain scary. Plus how many people get a small, I know in my family, we'd get a large that usually got split between 2 people (maybe 3 if you had a child eating it). And you don't even realize how much of it you're eating.
I just avoid movie theater popcorn now whenever possible. And I've logged it any time I have had it since joining MFP.0 -

Back in the day I would drink an entire 1 L jug of egg nog, before I realized that it's 1240 calories!0

I used to make this cookie in a mug (single serving cake-like treat made in a mug in the microwave) and I knew it probably was high in calories but in the past justified it as one piece of cake instead of buying a whole cake and being tempted by it. When I stuck into the recipe section on MFP it had 490 calories per mug!!!0

AGH I do this all the time! But i love McDonald's "chicken" nuggets (lol we all know it's the weird chicken leftovers) and their fries. THEIR MEDIUM FRIES ARE 550 CALORIES. A good portion of their SANDWICHES aren't even 500+ calories! But i don't go that often... so I enjoy a lot :blushing:
Mc Donald's medium fries are only 380 calories.. a large is 500. Unless you're not in the US0 -

Applebee's Santa Fe Chicken Salad. I think it was around 1400 calories. And I thought I was making a "healthier choice" lol.0

Not me but my hubby; he loved those Chicken Bakes from costco (gross huge hot pocket things) and one day I looked at the nutrition on them and they were 810 calories, 30.2g of fat (8.2g saturated), and 2061mg of sodium.
He was eating like two at a time.:noway:
I told him and he hasn't eaten one since.0 -
Orange juice! At 200 calories for an 8-ounce bottle, it's the same as my favorite frozen yogurt - minus the protein and calcium.
And Honeycrisp apples... Oh sure, a "medium apple" is 80 calories, but the smallish ones weigh nearly three times as much as that mythical "medium apple." Get a regular one from the store in season, and you're pushing 300 calories, easy.
I have never had an apple clock in that high and I've eaten some big ones. Are you entering by weight or by size?0 -
I just checked out the take aways me and my partner used to eat. Dominos, KFC, McDonalds.... I am appalled! 1 spice of my favourite pizza was 280 calories and I was eating 6 slices.... >.<0
-
I have nothing to add, I log before I eat and make no apologies for the total junk I feel like eating sometimes (my favourite pasta dish with garlic bread at Boston Pizza is nearing 2000 and I make space for it every couple of months).
But my goodness this thread is making me hungry.0 -
Mine was a churro from Sam's Club-- 440 calories.. It was delicious though.. and really huge.0

I eat healthy now... and walk down the street visualizing everyone as bacon wrapped steak...

Perogies! I knew they weren't good for me but in only 4 perogies there is 210 calories... I can eat 20 in one sitting and not to mention the sour cream and butter I added. Ugh. I still love the rogies.. Tonight I had to hide the bowl of them... I only ate 6... Hahaha ugh.
Love the perogies....it is not the perogies per se, but all the dang butter we drizzle on them....0 -
I went out to Baberitos for the first time since starting on MFP. I thought I was doing great because I got a small tortilla without sour cream and guacamole, but when I looked it up at home it was over a 1,000 cals!! Definitely blew my day.
Oh the small peanut butter milkshake from Sonic is like 800 cals. :grumble: Totally not worth it, I can make better at home for less.
I love Peanut Butter and used to get the small one if I had some extra calories on a maintenance day, but now I just mix some PB2 with unsweetened almond milk and a little honey. Way fewer calories and it even tastes better.
I always check the nutrition menus before I eat out, so nothing really surprises me in that regard. The only thing that I have eaten and then been surprised about later was when I accidentally ate 600 calories of almonds. Oops.0 -

I love Wagamammas. I wish we had it in the States.
I haven't had that particular dish, but I'm thinking most curries are made with coconut milk. That's what makes curries so deadly in terms of calories.
An aside, "curry" I believe just means "sauce". So I don't know why the word has come to mean "something in coconut milk sauce with spices", here in the States at least.0
