OK, so for fun I decided to look up one of my old fav's and count up the calories in it. No wonder I weigh so much!
Here it is...

Philly steak pizza with triple cheese (including blue cheese on top!) My hubby and I would split it! 2800 calories each!

The good news is we have lost 100 lbs between us so far this year! Still enjoy pizza on the weekends but it's thin crust and veggie loaded- and we LOVE it!

So, now it's your turn...

    Pizza was my downfall too, I actually had some last week, I do one day a month where I eat what I feel like and I was craving some pizza, instead of ordering the 14" though I ordered a 9" and I was pretty fine after that.

    Egg McMuffin or Sausage Egg McMuffin with grape jelly
    two hashbrowns and a large coke..I would have that at least 3 days a week for breakfast...I can't even think about eating something like that now. It almost makes me sick.

    Taco Bell was a regular offender for me. It's been so long since I've had it, it took me awhile to remember what my typical meal was.

    2x Beefy 5 layer burrito
    1x Potato soft taco
    1x Cheesy fiesta potato bowl

    Total calories: 1630
    Total fat: 72g
    Total carbs: 196
    Total sodium: 3,920

    This isn't including the days where I would often have some other fast food for lunch OR I'd get hungry later in the night so I'd go to TB again. No wonder I ballooned up so fast! >:(

    I was (and am still) a sucker for the vegetarian burritos at my neighborhood taco stands in san diego... probably like 1200 calories for the burrito, and I had it for dinner pretty regularly.
    I will say it's one of my favorite foods ever, so I have still let myself eat one a few times since I started dieting. But that's like 3 burritos in the last 6 mos, as opposed to 3 a week... And I pretty much plan for the occasion all week, calorically.

    I would have to say take-out in general. We still eat it but I make better choices (veggies instead of loaded pizza, steamed instead of fried chinese stuff, etc) and don't stuff myself until I can't move anymore.
    Also, not a meal but - no more coffee brandy and milk. Figured it out the other day and with the size of our cups, that one drink was about 500 calories!

    I used to go to Hooters and order up the 10-pc breaded chicken wings with medium sauce & fried pickles.

    10 Wings = 1732 calories
    Fried Pickles = 300 calories

    PLUS however many Sprites I would drink...

    Wow... just wow...

    That's more calories than I'm even ALLOWED in one day, in just ONE sitting!!!

    I don't know the calorie count but we used to go out to eat at this mexican restaurant several times a week. I always got a HUGE platter full of fried tortilla chips, covered in about 2 cups of melted queso cheese, and some chicken. Then, I'd have a side of mexican rice and an entire avocado... Not to mention all of the chips and salsa I ate before the meal even came out... Oh, and I always had a coke too!

    And I used to eat an entire large pizza to myself.

    Same here! My son loves pasta and it was so easy to make after work. I had some pasta the other night but measured the portions and had alot of vegetables with mine. He had his with meat sauce. I used to make penne alfredo with chicken alot. Imagine all that butter in the sauce along with the cals from the pasta??

    And I don't even go near McDonald's anymore!! lol
