I don't like NEVER getting treats. Can't stick to it if I don't now and then ( within my calories usually). but those unexpected sneaky calories are a bugger !!!
Happy to hear it was good. I may have to try some this summer hehe.
Oh definitely! I see that you buy Tim Horton's? Are you Canadian, mind if I add you?
Yep.. Canadian.. I think there are a few Timmies in the upper states ?

I had a similar thing happen - only it was a milkshake from a fast food place. I was thinking around 350 calories for it (which I made room for) nope - 715 calories later haha so that started my own milkshake shop at my house haha
715 for just one milkshake? wow.. I hope it was the yummiest milkshake ever at that "cost"
Easy enough. A large (32 oz) milkshake from Whataburger is 910 calories!
To be fair 32 oz is a ginormous milkshake lol0 -

When I buy my Tims, I get it black. Then I add my own milk and a sweeter if I need it. Or try getting a black steeped tea. They are amazing and don't need any additives. Then I stick to water for the rest of the day
I hate drinking my calories! 0 -

Because when you have too much information there are some things that you just can't enjoy anymore! Just not possible0 -

I would if I had a place to put milk ect. you can ask for it with milk and sweetner there.. it's the only calories I drink. I useally stick with medium double double at 210 isn't so bad because I have it so well calculated into my day. Have to stick to that lol
I hate drinking my calories also! so not worth it!

Why would you order triple triple? regardless of size the cream and sugar in it is proportional to the size...if you like a large double double order the extra large double double...
I don't do Tim's any more except when I am on the go getting groceries on the weekend...it's awful and so inconsistent.
Cream is 18% MF...sugar is spooned out and usually burnt...ick.
Give me fresh brewed at home thx.0 -

Oh I agree. They do it big there haha.0 -
Its insane how much calories are in things that even seam healthy. I have found we I go out which happens once even few months I just order what I want which is something fattening and over 1,000 calories
I have seen salads that even without dressing are over 900 calories so I just go for what I want...pasta for a little more calories! 0 -
Yeah... I finished my kids' pancake at IHOP yesterday (hear finish = eat the 80% of it that she didn't want). 400 calories later (plus I had to count 2 tbsp of syrup as I don't know how much she put on there). SIGH.0

OMG.
I usually just have a regular double double ( coffee here in Canada) in the morning. It's about 210 Cals.for it. I got a free coffee this morning, with it being Monday, I ordered a Large triple triple..
420 Cals later when you are under 5 feet tall is A LOT of calories for just one coffee lol
I wont be making THAT mistake again !! eep!
Anyone else have similar experiences and wish they would have checked in here prior to ordering and consuming?
If you normally do a medium double double, why with a large would you go tripple tripple? Did you know that they size the cream for the size of the cup so a double double tastes like a double double regardless of size. that said I drink single single with milk from Tims, black from places that sell "good" coffee.0 -

I hare a small blizzard once or twice a summer with my teen lol I dunno how people eat all that ice cream at one time or size medium or large .. just wow! lol.
How was the red velvet one? lol
I hate to say it, but soooo worth it for that one time, lol.
A close friend said you can get a smaller size and it's closer to the 300 Calories I was thinking originally.
There is a mini size, at least there is here0 -

Actually a large double double tastes the same as a medium double double, tastes the same as a small double double. they have machines that measure it out so the same % of your cup will have cream regardless of size. a large triple triple will taste like a medium triple triple, not a medium double double.0 -

I'll have to ask. I know it isn't up on the size listing on the menu board. Maybe they have a smaller size that they aren't posting?

I'm still new to coffee . about 3 years drinking it and only about one year drinking it at timmies.. THAT bit of info would have been prenominal!! Now I know.
Double Double just means ( in my head ) 2 sugars 2 creams.
so if you add double double to a small amount of coffee you are getting the same amount of sugar/cream as in a large doube double which would weaken the taste and make it more bitter. I was trying to avoid that.
I have the worse sweet tooth and don't like bitter. I can tell you one thing.. my large tripe triple was really yummy lol

And I never get anything besides coffee in coffee, because it tastes better black.
YES... This.
Also, save the money on eating out, take cooking classes or buy some books and learn to make all this food with much better ingredients at home. Its well worth the effort and so rewarding.
I totally agree. But sometimes I'm just tired of cooking and having to figure out meals that the whole family will eat, and I need a break. But I'm picky about the restaurant we go to and it needs to have low calorie options and be easy to log (chain with nutrition online, or easy stuff like plain sushi).0 -
What was in that coffee?!?!?! My coffee has like 4 calories...0
-
Whenever I plan on eating out I always check out the menu so I know what to get. Or I have places like Chipotle where I know whatever I get will fit my macros0

I'm suddenly very glad I never picked up the Starbucks habit.0

Sonic's milkshakes are ridiculously high in calories. I am perpetually shocked at how bad even a small vanilla shake is (540 calories). I keep forgetting how awful they are because it's just unbelievable to me, which kills me every time my ice cream loving husband wants to go. The rest of the time he wants Dairy Queen which is just as terrible.
Today I was good and figured out the calories in the Subway lunch I was craving before going. It was too many to fit into my day, so I stuck with the salad I had brought to work. Yay for small victories.0 -
Yep, the other day I "needed" a 7 layer burrito from taco bell. 600 calories (half my daily allowance.) For one. I used to eat two, and maybe a side of pintos and cheese on top of that...
Still totally worth it, but only very occasionally.0 -
I totally get it. (And I'm 5'2".) I was in a group and they decided to order pizza. I'm allergic to milk products, so none for me. But the gal picking up the pizza did something sweet: she picked up bbq chicken wings for.me. There is no.way to say no so I ate half of them and shared the rest. Got home later to discover the few I ate were 400 calories!0

Reddddd Robinnnnn (oops!). Went out to dinner with a friend of mine that was in town for a couple of days. The first night we had steaks and potatoes. The second night burgers at Red Robin. Turns out we did much better the night before!0
