    7-Eleven cherry cruller. 660 calories in one donut. I think I actually cried when I found that out.

    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.

    They do!! Have you not had the Oreo thins?

    Does anyone remember the Fig Newton thins? My favorite was banana with dark chocolate.

    so this has most likely been mentioned several times over, but i'll mention it again: PEANUT BUTTER. WTF? how? honestly, i still cannot form a full sentence about it. re-shocks me about twice a year.

    I save nut butter as a weekend "treat", and it drives me insane how just a few spoon fulls from the jar is a full meals calories. Every bone in my body tells me to eat it like yogurt right from the jar, but one jar of peanut butter is a whopping 2,000+ calories!

    I've read some people smear peanut butter on things. I don't understand how it's supposed to go from the jar to another surface without first entering my mouth :lol::love:

    For whatever reason, I don't like plain nut butter. The texture doesn't appeal to me and plus using that many calories on what is essentially licking the spoon doesn't work for me, I need foods to involving sitting down and eating them thoughtfully if I am going to spend real calories.

    Luckily, or perhaps unfortunately, I have discovered that half a serving of nut butter in some yogurt mixes better than I would have thought and is absolutely delicious. That makes the volume a little better per calorie, but still, sigh.

    PB2 in greek yogurt goes amazing, and comes close to recreating the thickness/texture that I think a lot of us go after. The thick goopy texture, I have a feeling, is probably exactly what so many of us go crazy for. You're fortunate to not share the itch!

    I have basically cut peanut butter out of my life, despite it being a top 5 favorite food. It's a very rare treat. I simply cannot eat a reasonable amount :'(

    Thanks for the idea- I'll have to try that. Bet it would be good in an 80 cal. Dannon banana cream :)

    ice cream can have a lot of calories for half a cup and i think some of ben and jerrys are shocking for half a cup.

    I think it's shocking that anyone considers half a cup of ice cream to be an adequate serving size! :'(

    The Breyer's ice cream I eat is 150 cal/half cup serving, I have room for 2 of them on days I run, and if you measure it by weight it looks like a hell of a lot more than half a cup.

    What's sad is this whole thread just makes me hungry :D

    Also, the person who said wings - yes! I forgot about those. I love wings but the calorie count is like the bane of my existence.

    We make buffalo cauliflower with roasted cauliflower or florets tossed in cornstarch and pan-fried. Then we toss with hot sauce and eat with lettuce and blue cheese dressing my hubby makes. It takes the urge for wings away, and we are starting to prefer these mock wings...
