High Calorie Foods to avoid.

just reading this made me hungry...but the first killer food that popped into my mind was my favorite mashed potatoes...i know potatoes aren't a "no-no" food but they are after i mix ranch dressing, bacon and cheese in with them...

to die for!! and if i kept eating them and all the rest of my junk...i probably would have...

Greggs sausage rolls x 2 (it takes 2 to fill me up)= 480 cals!

Splurged last week while in NY & ate a piece of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory - YIKES! - over 1300 calories for 1 slice!:grumble:

Honey. It's worth it LOL! That stuff is heaven in the flesh!

buffalo wings. OMG I had 6 wings from buffallo wild wings, come to find out I ate about 1400 calories. This was about 2 months ago, and never again will I eat that.. I almost cried when I found out how bad it was....

Pasta - Typical box of pasta 8 servings x 200 calories = 1600 calories per 16 oz box.

Mac and Cheese is pretty lethal also. 410 calories per serving x 3 = 1230 Calories.

Brownies from the Box - 170 calories x 20 servings = 3400 calories.


Feel free to add your favorite high calorie foods.

Pasta is bad if you eat the whole box but 1 serving of whole wheat pasta at 200 cals for 2 ounces isn't what I consider a high-calorie food. Mac & Cheese is bad if you use the suggested prep (2 tbsp 2% milk and 4 tbps butter) but the reduced fat prep (using 1 tbsp skim milk and 1/2 tbsp of margarine) makes it much better and it's about 290 cals for 1 serving. I know I can't eat an entire box at one time and while it's not an every day or every week thing I do make mac & cheese occasionally using the low fat prep and I share the box!

brownies - yes those are very high cal, no thanks!

It may have been the sauce. There are dry rub wings at a lot of other wing joints that will give you about 400-600 calories for 6 wings. Don't despair! Not all wings are created equal!

And even less if you just use water

Oh and for you mayonnaise lovers 1tbp contains around 100cals!! Im glad I dont like mayo lol

Pizza. I don't like English pizza, but I have to eat it when in Italy! I can't believe how many calories it has. Where does it hide them all?!

If you bake them instead of frying that might work out better......

There are some places that serve baked boneless wings. As long as they don't load them with crappy sugary sauce, they're good.

I still eat mac and cheese I just don't put butter in it and use skim milk and only eat one serving.

I don't see the problem with one serving of pasta at 200 cals - add a sauce with lots of veges and some lean chicken and you have a great meal for under 400 cals!

I don't think I've ever been able to actually be full on one serving of pasta or mac and cheese.

Sit it in front of me, and I'd eat an entire pot of mac and cheese and still be hungry. It's basically empty, devoid starch.
