Peanut butter M&M's. Those puppies are 10 calories a pop. So just 10 little M&M's was a 100 calorie snack. Still ate them. But I was suprised to see they were that high.2

Nut butters and salad dressings! And that an actual serving of them is so much smaller than I thought!1

I agree! However, Bolthouse Dressings are the best. Ranch is only 45 calories a serving!0 -
The only thing I do with Dungies is crack 'em open and eat the meat. Not raw, of course.
I also think there's a problem because they aren't all the same size. Some are as small as a pound or so. Yesterday's was 2.5 pounds. First part of the season! Of course that's the whole crab. After you back them, take out the guts, and crack them open, it's maybe a third of that weight that you yield.
Mmmmmmm......

I wish people would stop saying this, because my serving will not be your serving. Instead, say something like 45cal for a table spoon serving. Now this looks like nothing, just like a serving of peanut butter.
I meant the 2 tablespoon serving that is listed on the packaging

How do you cook them? Steam?
When I catch them, I boil them live. If I buy them, I usually buy them cooked. They are boiled whole. A buddy prefers to pith them, then back them while still alive, and then steam them. It makes a better product, but I think dropping the whole crab in boiling water is more humane than ripping them apart. Of course if I were a sea lion, I'd just rip 'em apart.0 -
Doner meat and chips. Normal size portion around 1500 cals with garlic sauce mmmm2

A whole Dungeness crab only has 140 calories? That's really hard to believe. And ever so delicious. I should get another one.
OK, so I finally figured out the right answer, and it sure isn't 140 calories for a whole Dungeness Crab. That's a number that was entered MANY times in the database. I fixed most of them. I couldn't fix one that has the green check box next to it for a three-ounce serving. I sent an alert to MFP about it. I bet you fifty cents the fix it.
How did I figure out the correct information (and what IS the correct information)?
I visited the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission website. They have a page with nutritional information! A 3 ounce portion of cooked crab is 94 calories (and 19 grams of protein). Fine. I also know from experience that in general, a filled-out dungie is about 25% meat. So, that two-pound crab I picked up yesterday? That was eight ounces of meat, which would be about 2.67 3-ounce portions. But in reality, it is just ONE PORTION because.... well, if you haven't eaten one you have no idea. That means a whole Dungeness Crab clocks in about 250 calories (I am not bothering with the 0.6 calorie decimal
portion because 250 is such an awesomely round number!), or 1.8 times more calories than are in the database.
I can totally believe that a whole Dungeness Crab is 250 calories. It's 250 calories of Dungie goodness.
I'm wondering if someone took the caloric content of a Blue Crab and just applied it to Dungies. I am pretty sure the blue crabs are MUCH smaller. I can believe a whole Blue Crab is around 140 calories. Not a Dungeness!

Plain chocolate surprised me. I knew it was calorie-dense, but hadn’t realised how dense it was totally on its own without any of the “added” stuff like nuts / nut butters, wafers, fruit pieces, etc. Still delicious 😉🍫0

Braised pork belly. My very small portion last night clocked in at over 451 calories. And worth every damn one of 'em.2

That reminds me that I have a pork belly in the freezer!0 -
When I first started learning about food long ago. I was shocked at rice and pasta. I would think I was eating really good by just have one bowl when one bowl would be over 500-1000 cal. 😢1

I try to stick to whole grain versions of pasta and brown rice but still over 200 calories in 1 cup of brown rice. Stinkers.0 -

The qasadilla explosion salad 930 calories with put qasadillas. So its an adjustment for sure because im not running for 30 min to eat a snickers bar either.
Honestly? For the flavor vs. calories, just get the small steak. It's almost as low as thier diet chicken breast option, but no one thinks of it as a "light" option because its not low-fat.1 -
I eat a lot of wraps as I thought they'd be a good healthy meal, as I can shove whatever veg in but then 2 wraps is nearly 400 cals, then there's other bits like the oil to fry the veg & then whatever sauce
just switched cooking oil to those 1 cal sprays, not the same as oil but it's a healthy change I suppose. I usually make quorn with fried tomatoes & peppers with spicy seasoning & a bit of cheese then the tortilla wraps on top that's 800-900 cals, waaaat? 1
