It is possible to do them with far less, though. Nachos are my easy-low-cal dinner.
56 gm of *corn* tortilla chips from Whole Foods = 140 calories
35 gm of olives = 28 calories
30 gm of sour cream = 60 calories
28 gm of Organic Valley shredded "Mexican blend" = 100 calories
75 gm of salsa = 23 calories
Bake in the oven at 375 F for 5 minutes.
Total calories = 351

Really, only 140g for 56g of corn chips? It's usually double that... then yeah, I suppose you could make them lower calories.
I loathe olives but usually add some meat or beans.
I mean, even then, of course you could just make a smaller portion, but then it's just not enough food to be satisfying to me... especially as for me nachos are all about cheese, lol!
I've done taco mix and just used one serving of chips to dip though, but it's just not the same.1 -

Yup. The Whole Foods store-made ones are only 70 cal per ounce. That was an awesome find.
I guess if you're all about the cheese and the fattier toppings, that would increase it significantly. But there's no absolute that nachos have to be a calorie bomb. It's all in the decisions you make.

I used to eat the whole box of those. So glad we can't find them in the US.1 -

On a positive note, 10 oz of zucchini (2 zucchinis) REALLY bulks up 56g of pasta. It goes from less than half a bowl to a HEAPING bowl.13

A little dixie cup of Happy Heart nut mix (which I weighed at just 85g) being >400 calories.
I still eat it, because it's delicious...but the calories are almost double what I expected.1 -
So I weighed my fruit. . . and my lovely big navel orange weighed 12 ounces! 167 calories. OUCH.8

Ate some prepackaged salad, it said 160 calories on the front and that sounded about right for the lackluster taste and size. As I was throwing the bag away I saw it was actually 3.5 servings per bag. 560 calories for a crappy tasting salad.
