    Tahini. I love the flavour, especially in Halva desserts, but it has an eye-watering 600 cals per 100g (or 170 cals per 1 oz).

    If you want a excellent tortilla that is low calorie, carb and high fiber I would recommend Ole Xtreme Wellness Tortilla. They are I think 10 inch and 50 calories, 11 dietary fiber, soft and taste excellent.

    Sigh.

    Not in Canada from what I see.

    Tortilla's I'm having are 180 cals and I'd love to try a lower cal version that tastes good.

    i'm not shocked by it, but peanut butter calories make me a little sad :laugh:

    Same here. Oreos are another. Look at the serving size and the calories on the package. It'll flat out shock you. I wish they made a lower calorie version of them but they don't bother. How many of you remember sitting down to eat a third or even half a package of those things with milk in the evenings. My wife always liked chips/dip, I liked oreos and milk haha. No wonder I got so fat. Body by Oreo lol.

    you can get oreo thins which are slightly less calorific? i have the tiramisu ones which are really nice and 32 cals each

    I still remember the day when my husband looked up the calories on his beloved McGriddle. It's almost a Big Mac... Guess he shouldn't have been shocked.

    Chick-Fil-A sauces are very high in calories for such a little packet!

    Yes, 140 calories per tiny little packet. I nearly cried.

    I'm not low carb but I go shop at their stores for La Tortilla Factory tortillas and they're amazing. I buy the smaller ones for tacos @ 70 cals (we count the fibre as calories so they're the same as the 45cal US ones) I get it at Low Carb Grocery; they also have large ones for 110 cals but 10g protein and tons of fibre

    Tortillas

    ^^This. It's sad how many tortilla chips you actually get for 150calories. ugh. Peanut butter and cereal sucks too. I can't buy either anymore.
