OK So I'm at my moms place in there is not alot of healthy food choices here so I eat a muffin Not the best choice but it was only a snack Then I go to log it my food diary and realize HALF the muffin was one serving which had 210 calories of course I ate the whole thing which was 420 calorie snack that's usually a meal for me with that many calories What foods have you all found with ridiculous high amount of calories in them? So I know what to avoid next time

    See McDonald's. lol

    My fiance about had a heart attack when he figured out how many calories were in the ramen noodles he used to eat two entire packages of as a meal.

    I still eat muffins, but I make my own. :smile:

    I bought some korean instant noodles thinking that they weren't too bad calorie wise - then I saw that one pack was 2 servings! Who eats half a pack of instant noodles at a time? I found out before I opened the pack and put the noodles in the boiling water, and ate something else for lunch. Won't be eating those any time soon.

    One serving of Amy's vegan mac and cheese is 520 calories. And I totally want to eat three of those things.

    Cheese is very caloric. 100 puny grams of provolone and 400 less calories for your day :(

    Who would think that lettuce wraps would have about 1000 calories in them....really?!?!?!?! You would save quite a few calories by having a cheese burger.

    I used to eat a certain brand of garlic bread- I recentely found out that 1 slice has 82 calories! The whole thing has 820 cal!! And that would just be on the SIDE of a pizza!

    Pizza hut's breadsticks are absolutely rediculous.. one is 150 calories .. without the cheese and the marinara sauce. and I could easily chow on five or six of those..

    My girlfriend's folks brought over some zucchini bread yesterday. Sounds healthy, right? The zucchini is fresh out of their garden. We asked for the recipe so we could enter it ingredient by ingredient on MFP. The loaves are small. 343 grams total. Total calories in that loaf? 12,019.

    12-thousand and 19!!! 35 calories PER GRAM!

    She took a couple of loaves into work with her today. Get it out of this house!

    I'm not sure that's possible! Are you SURE you entered it right?

    I was kind of shocked how many calories coleslaw had. You think it's raw cabbage and onion and carrots ... all healthy foods and then you forget about all he mayo that binds it together. 675 in a 300g pot of cheese coleslaw and I'd wolf down half a pot with dinner. :ohwell:

    But what bugs me is "portions"... who decides what a portion should be. why can't everything just be based on 100g (or per Oz for all you Imperialists :laugh: ) That way, it's easy to compare and also work out what's on your plate or in your meal :smile:
