    It's happened to be a lot, but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now....figures lol.

    That's one reason why Calorie counting is so helpful in my opinon, because many foods one would think of as low Calorie really might not be. Especially fruit, since many are high in natural sugars.

    Try eating the Sara Lee Whole Wheat With Honey Bread. It's 45cals per slice, so 90cals for 2 slices. Also I don't eat peanut butter but is the low fat one lower in calories? Anybody know? That might help alil bit, Hnlymark!

    With that bread drops you down to bout 440 right?

    Let's see if I can get this down! haha

    Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread Light - 40 cals per slice (2)= 80 cals
    Better N Peanut Butter 2 tbs= 100 cals
    Smucker's Blueberry Jam (I got the blueberry from the perserves above) 1 tbs= 20 cals (2tbs)= 40 cals

    *I got this from the database, seems that smucker's are pretty low and they even make a sugar free kind

    that equals........ 220 cals????

    This threw me for a loop the other day:

    One 8oz. glass of Kroger - 2% Reduced Fat Milk has 11g of sugar?! :noway: I had no idea. Heck, I'm only allowed 24 per day and that one glass was almost half. :grumble:

    I knew it could be done. I don't eat PB&J's... Never been a fan, so I couldn't help with that stuff. The only time I really ate them was during my pregnancy and I wasn't lookin for the low cal kind. haha Good Job MagicChatter!

    Diet peanut butter? Forget it.

    I'd forgo the bread and jam instead. Peanut butter on a stick. Now that is my kind of P&spoon.

    I'm with you there! I would take out the J in PB & J lol.

    Thanks! I knew it could be done! For the PB you can google it and go to their website and it shows which stores carry it, they make a low sodium and even a chocolate kind!. Although, I have to say, I haven't tried it yet, but I bet it's yummy!

    I always knew that Cold Stone was not good for your calorie count, but what really shocked me was the

    A Cold Stone shake can have almost 2000 calories in it! HOLY MOLEY!

    I saw a packaged one in the store and 4 1/2 rolls were like 255 calories..which meant the tiny 9 pieces were 510calories . I would hate to see what my favorite resturant here in town is :( .. Maybe its the way its made

    They do add different sesame vinegars and such, so maybe that is the difference? I'll have to weigh mine out again to see what I get. Sushi is simple though, so for the most part your calories are in the rice and avocado.
