    Eddie Rocket's Milkshakes - 1000 calories for 1 1/2 glasses :noway: compared to 0 calories in diet coke.
    Though the milkshakes are pretty awesome :smooched:

    1) Fizzy drinks. Why drink your calories away?

    2) Pizza. I love eating it but I always spend the rest of the night feeling bloated and ill plus it's packed full of calories. :(

    I'll give myself a headache thinking about how many times I wasn't even hungry I just "finished it off" or "cleaned the plate" or "didn't want to waste the food" This goes for the extra-large portion of cereal you give yourself just because it's silly to leave so little in the box, the last cookie in the pack, the last half of anything I've ever put onto one of my ginormous UFO size dinnerplates

    Cumulatively the 30lbs of that, evidence of those well intentioned moments I was basically on autopilot... that's the worst waste of calories. I can understand it when people love ice cream and eat it, that's a struggle and hard habit to break but me... I don't know it just seems so dumbI mean... most of the time I didn't even want the things I was eating!

    A waste of calories for me is eating a cookie or two when there was cake available :grumble:

    Heh. I am just the opposite. Cake is my least favorite dessert. I would be disappointed if I had a piece of cake, and pie was available later.

    My family even knows to get me a birthday pie!

    OMG - a spoon to scoop out the Cadbury innards !?!?! why didn't I think of that before ? I've just always bit off the top and sucked it out like a jello shot.

    It's more fun if you bite the top off and just use your tongue to lick -
    just- stick it-
    keep licking it-
    lick it all out.

    Poptarts are a big one. too many calories for something that fills me up for all of 5 minutes. they're not great tasting either.
    Also, Ben and Jerrys. I ate some Half Baked froyo for the first time last weekend and it's not any better than other ice cream I've had.

    Gummy Bears. On the plus side, I can only eat about 20 before getting sick, but I'd much rather allot some calories to something delicious like a few Cadbury mini eggs or a cupcake

    Batchelor's Supanoodles...tastes of chicken stock cube and cardboard, leaves you hungry an hour later and over 500 cals. WINNER

    Ok, so the serving size is 1/2 a pack, but who the heck eats half a packet of instant noodles? It wouldn't fit a teacup

    Creme eggs though, so worth it. They are in season you know, and should be as cherished as asparagus :tongue:

    Health-wise and calorie-wise as well when I ate a pound of Nutella in one day. Just remembering it makes me wanna puke.

    Depends on the Whole Foods. The one here has a French chef and everything is absolutely delicious.

    You are very lucky. There are three near me, all equally lousy. And I love Whole Foods, just not their bakery stuff.

    Chicken Nugget Burger from Burger King. Website said 500 cals, pdf said 380ish. It wasn't even nice! Too dry, greasy, not chicken tasting, with LOADS of mayo. On the other hand the burger I also ate was totally worth it.

    Had some passable cake the other day. I usually skip commercial frosting because it generally tastes and feels like sugarfat, like shortening whipped into molten styrofoam and saturated with over-sweet. Don't know why I took my coworker's word for it on this frosting. Same crappy stuff. At least 150 extra calories of nastiness I could have had in unadulterated cake.

    I think this is what the OP is talking about, rather than a standard creme egg

    Tesco sell some amazing jam doughnuts, shame they're just sugar and carbs!

    The Lidl bakery ones are even better.

    Bad wine! I drink far less now that I'm losing weight than I did before, but on Valentine's Day we went out and I ordered a glass of some red wine at the restaurant. If it hadn't cost $6, I wouldn't have drunk it-- it was yucky. I'm picky about wine so when I have it at home, it's a kind I've bought knowing I'll enjoy it.

    To me, pretty much all candy, store-bought cookies, and other junk sweet things are a giant waste of calories. My co-workers always have candy free for the taking in little jars, and I never eat it-- I don't see the point of consuming a thing that's made up of sugar, dyes, and artificial flavoring. Blaah! Basically if I'm going to eat some high-cal sweet thing, I want it to be a delicious creation I baked myself, or some nice, dark chocolate.

    freaking frozen whip cream in a "shake". I thought I was doing good by having that instead of ice cream like my husband and after I ate it and went to log it I was horrified that it was more than what the ice cream would have been. now I just have the dam ice cream. I get a half cup for only 120 cals.

    350 calories on an oatmeal cream cookie from our local deli. Delicious and I still stayed within my daily calorie limit, but I could have had a cup of cookie dough ice cream (my favorite treat) for that. So, not a total waste, but I could have made a "better choice". ;)

    Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. I mean it was good but not 900 calories good! Could've had like 6 creme eggs!
