i used to love cooking with olive oil, but seriously- about 130 cals per TBSP? crazy! It's been PAM for me ever since I realized that. Oh, I also used to LOVE eating mangos- until I realized they've got 30-some grams of sugar in them! good lord. I know it's natural surgars and all, but even that's too many for me. I've been sticking to berries.0

I used to eat chicken sausages as snack, I used to put in all my sandwiches I thought it doesn’t have to many calories but I realized that I use to eat at least 300 calories just in a snack¡0

How some foods make me hungrier and some foods actually signal to my body that food has been ingested.0

I've learned that Taco Bueno is Satan's Alley....just a plain bean burrito from there has 604 calories and 29 grams of fat! They obviously put real lard in their beans.0
-
...that I eat more now than before! I just eat a lot more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, etc. and bring my food from home. I occasionally go out to eat to eat, but I choose smaller items like appetizers for my meal and get a salad too.0

I have learnt that it's easy to pig out and blow out on calories
when you have friends over.0 -
That I can eat the foods I love frequently, and eat a lot of food, and be full. Nothing is off limits -- I can work it all into my calories in moderation.0

I can't BELIEVE how much sugar & sodium are in certain foods! Without even having a drink on 4th of July weekend the BBQ sauce, Ruffles & BB beans through me outta whack!!0

Cheese is worth it to me!
I found that sodium isn't as hard to watch as I expected. However something have an insane amount of it.0 -
That everything that I was normally eating had SO much sodium in it! :grumble:0

I have learned that MOST steamed veggies at restaurants are not left in their natural state but drenched in butter and high-sodium seasoning. What is the point of selecting a vegetable as a side when it has just as much sodium as a side of fries??? They can't even bring it to you with no seasoning because everything is pre-packaged. Irritates me to no end. Makes me almost want to bring some raw broccoli with me the next time I dine out and have the server tell the cook to blanch them for me.0

Amen! Me too! I don't even log it these days because it's so much a part of my calorie intake for the day.0 -
Coffee (with cream and sugar) has so many calories and fat in it. I'm a coffee addict and drink several cups a day. It wasn't until I joined MFP that I realized I can reach 1200 cals a day in coffee alone.
Mee too... I. A no sugar coffee girl now and only one cup a day.0 -
Do you know how much maple syrup you would have to pour on your pancakes for that 1/4 cup??? 1/4 is alot of syrup! I use about a tablespoon of syrup for my pancake:-)0
-
I can honestly say that I've learned portion control inorder not to hike up those calories and that just because it all comes in one package it doesn't mean that its all one serving....0
-
I've learned a few things along the way: proportion size is not what you thought it was; counting Calories and exercise is the BEST diet plan out there, yes I eat way too much sugar but its from fruit and it stores the best for work.( i don't have a cooler near by and can't keep veggies) And I read everything on the label. health foods are not always the best for you. Eat seasonal if you can. it usually is the best quality of that veggie/fruit and you can get it at a good price.0
-

-
I eat kelloggs Special K. The serving size is 1 cup to 1 1/4 cup:-)0
