    Outback Queensland Salad (w/ Bleu Cheese Dressing) [1 salad] (1074.7 cal/81.0g fat/5.0g fiber/28.2g carbs/57.2g protein/1977.8mg sodium/28.2g saturated fat) 29

    I used to eat it without the dressing and croutons, but still! No more!

    Edit: The 29 at the end is Weight Watcher points - 29 is my allowance for the whole day!

    Today is Sunday, and since it's Sunday during lent I'm "allowed" to have what I gave up...pop. And I thought since I could have my pop, I could "just eat" too. Ready for my big shock!!!

    For my typical Sunday Brunch: bacon and eggs, fried in bacon grease, 1/2 a hash brown patty, strawberry jam on whole wheat toast and OJ = 480 calories. Ok, I think not so good, but not so bad.

    The I decide to go out to the movies with my tween daughter. We buy a large root beer and pop corn. I only drink and eat 1/3.
    639 calories!!!!!!

    Now I'm in the hole and I've barely eaten! So should I still eat a healthy dinner? Or just go to bed already and start over tomorrow!

    And now back to my original question: What's your biggest calories shock on MPF?!
    Amatuer. When I go I eat 2 hotdogs, nachos with cheese, popcorn and raisinettes......................1900 calories. Of course the morning of I do a good workout to help comp some of the calories.

    There was a steak salad at Applebee's and I wasn't shocked about the calories (430 calories) but I was shocked that there was about 3000 mg of sodium in what was mostly lettuce with dressing ON THE SIDE. On the other hand, it was a delicious salad.
