    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.

    I know what you mean!! I look back at some of the foods and amounts that we used to eat and it is crazy!!! No wonder I gained weight!!

    Back when I was in high school I used to eat a triple bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's with biggie sized fries and a full calorie drink.


    I don't even want to do the math behind how many calories that is...

    I have no idea the calories on it and I would hate to total it up because I am sure that I would be in shock but every Saturday morning my husband and I would make a big breakfast....french toast, bacon, hashbrowns and eggs with lots of syrup....to think about eating that much makes me sick!

    I called it taco salad: at least 2-3 cups of tortilla chips, smashed onto the plate. Layer generously the following: ground beef with sodium loaded taco powder, refried beans, salsa, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, black olives. The plate was a 9 inch dinner plate and I loaded it up till it was mounded like 3 inches high. Then ate it all.

    One day I may want to calculate that, but that day is not today.

    Tim Horton's everything bagel toasted with herb and garlic cream cheese, at around 420 calories. I used to have one 4-5 times a week for breakfast. I know it's not a huge amount like some have posted but it's indicative of how careless I was about calories and nutrients!

    I never had a regular worst meal but my favorite worst offender was Frisch's Tartar Sauce. It's only 200 calories... for 2 tablespoons! A smear isn't bad, but I put that sauce on EVERYTHING, and even used it as french fry dip! And at 5-6 tablespoons each time. After I started paying attention to what I was doing and gave it up for a week, I lost 4 lbs without changing anything else in my diet or activity level! It goes to show we have to pay attention to what we are putting into our bodies.

    A regular day for me could look like the following:

    Breakfast:
    40% of a box of cereal
    drown it in 2% milk
    probably 1200 calories

    Lunch
    can of soup
    either
    4 lunchmeat, mayo, and cheese sandwiches
    or
    an entire package of saltines
    probably 1500 calories

    Dinner
    box of macaroni and cheese
    can of peas or tuna
    around 1000 calories I think

    Also throw in a good 5 cans of regular coke or pepsi, possibly 2 cups ish of ice cream for at least another 1000 calories

    For a good while my mom stopped at mcdonalds and got me a big mac meal PLUS another big mac for lunch, because she had a coupon.

    i used to work in the city & it was a looong commute, i never had time to eat breakfast before i left, so i would grab a bagel once i got to work.

    i'm seeing anywhere from 350-600 calories for an everything bagel with cream cheese ... i ate one, sometimes TWO of these daily. plus two pieces of bacon (~70 cals) and tea with milk and a lot of sugar (~300 cals) ... that's 720-970 calories for ONE meal.

    Pasta...has to have breadstick or garlic bread along with it :(
    Banana split

    I'm afraid to check the calories on these two of my faves...let's just say, I'll ignore them for a very, very long while LOL!

    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! >:(


    This sounds about the same for me too.

    Mashed potatoes with a generous amount of butter and milk. Around 500kcal per serving and I stuffed my face with it 2-3 times a week. It doesn't sound so bad all by itself but pair it with chicken breasts on butter (I love butter) and I would eat over 1000kcal just for lunch or dinner.
    I really like to cook so I don't have many examples of all but healthy junk food or take out food. On the other hand even if you cook every meal by yourself you can still make food that will satisfies hunger and your taste buds but result in a few rows of pure body fat.

    cake! it's homemade and the pieces are so small you can put 1 piece in your mouth at once. used to eat 5 or so as a dessert and as a snack in the afternoon whatever

    1 bite =128 cals

    still eat it, but only within calorie allowance (so mostly only one of the whole cake)

    My wife loves jimmy johns, so what I do when I go there is to have them cut the sandwich in half and then I have it for two meals. Another option is to get it as an unwich, which means they replace the bread with a couple large pieces of lettuce. This cuts the calories in half, but it is still the same price.
