When I first started logging my calories into MFP. I was shocked at the calories in my lunch I picked up at Captain D's:
Captains sandwich, 1,085 calories, with a side of coleslaw, 180 calories. CRAZY!
I probably added cheese to the sandwich as well. My calorie goal for the day was 1,200
What meals that you were eating has shocked you?

For me it was serving sizes... pasta especially. I'm not sure I've ever eaten a single serving of pasta.14

Taco Casa's taco salads are 1397 calories Not exactly shocking but still a tragedy in my book, as they are delicious.0

I enjoy pizza on occasion and I like the Lean Cuisine Pepperoni French Bread - 310 calories0

I remember looking at the Avocado Lime dressing packet at Chick Fil A- it was over 300 calories. Very eye opening when you're just getting a salad... it's my favorite dressing, too!!!3

Knowledge is power!3

Making my own omelets; 2 eggs, 2 slices of turkey bacon, chopped onion, mushroom and feta cheese, comes to over 300 calories. I didn't think it would add up to so many calories.3

veggie chipotle burrito with chips and salsa is 1725 calories and 3530 sodium.

I think in my first two months of logging I got a premade salad. It had feta, walnuts, and dried cranberries. A lot of all the things too. When I went to log the thing...I had this like, 900 calorie salad. Never again.6

you'll pry the whole foods salad bar from my cold dead hands though. i've tried to estimate those, it's not pretty, but it does fill me up for the whole day.2 -

When I'm there I'm always like "stick to the dry food. stick to the dry food. oops, how did that mac and cheese end up in my salad? oh..one piece of sausage. protein. that's fine"
You can RACK up the calories there.5 -
Those little itsy bitsy teeny weeny frozen small pizzas. 410 calories per 1/4 ouch! I can make a bigger pizza with more bacon sausage and cheese and it's only twice as filling as the frozen one for about the same calories. How do they pack so many calories into a little frozen pizza!?4

Super easy to make an 800 calorie sandwich. That's like...norm. When I look back on how I ate...bread, cheese, turkey, avocado. Yeah. Easy.0 -
Fiver Guys Burger and Red Robin. Talk about sticker shock!2

What depresses me is that my favorite hint of lime tostitos averages about 7 whole chips for 210 calorie serving - Yikes! 7 chips? Sucks ... I discovered Beanitos brand and they are better, especially since you get about 5 grams of protein per serving too.1
