worst foods you used to eat

UK Costco's pizza. We are due to go there on Staurday and I was looking forward to a slice of pizza, but I have just checked out the calories on the database and 620 is just too much for one slice of heaven :sad:

Chicago-style pizza. So. Much. Cheese.
And beer. Lots of beer.

I have to stop reading this board... too weak still.

The bento box at any of the sushi places around here: rice, teriyaki chicken, miso, salad, salmon and avocado rolls, tempura vegetables shrimp and crab, and gyoza.
Over 1900 calories and 4000 mg of sodium. I would eat it at least once a week for lunch, and still be hungry for dinner.

I'd down about 3 slices: 3,215 calories.

And that was after the mozzerella sticks and caprese salad.

I haven't cut anything out, I just don't eat as much. Typical meal at Burger King for me would be 2 Original Chicken sandwiches, large fries, 1 or 2 double cheeseburgers and a large coke.
Typical meal at Taco Bell would be 4 soft taco supremes, Nachos Bell Grande, and then I'd stop somewhere for a Coke and probably pick up a double cheeseburger or fries.
Jack in the Box was bad too, I would get an Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger, large curly fries, 2 tacos and a large coke.

The one place I really haven't been to lately (because they don't have nutrition info and I'm not very good at guessing how many cups of a particular item are on my plate) is Casa Ole. I would always get the Nachos Ole (and eat most of it myself) and a Grilled Fajita Burrito.

Tony's Frozen Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza was a staple of my diet, too. I'd load it with more pepperoni, half a cup of cheese and then it eat it myself. It's supposed to serve 3.

I use to eat a ton of fast food. I would go out for lunch everyday and eat it and then I would get it to take home for dinner. My go to places were McD's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and Papa Johns. I still get it for take out occasionally (1 or 2 times a month), but I select better options. I only get salads at McD's with grilled chicken (about 400 cals) and if we get pizza, it's 2 slices tops, no more. Back in the day, I could easily eat 4 or more.

I've never looked at the calorie content, but at Dairy Queen, I would get a foot long chilli cheese dog, onion rings, BBQ sandwich, and large sweet tea. I'm sure it has to be pushing 2,000 cals in one meal. UGHHH!! Makes me kind of sick to think of now.

My other weakness is Olive Garden. All of those meals are high carb, plus those delicious breadsticks. And of course, I got the alfredo sauce to dip them in. My favorite dish is the chicken and shrimp carbonara. I looked it up one time and the meal itself, without salad and breadsticks and alfredo sauce, was 1500 cals!!! If I add in the other items I ate, I was consuming over 3,000 cals in one sitting. Plus, the 2 glasses of wine I would have with it. I still love my Olive Garden, but we only go once a year now for our anniversary. It helps that we don't have one nearby. The closest one is about an hour away.

Creme puffs and Doritos for breakfast. Or cookies and cream shakes from Steak and Shake. All for breakfast. WTF?

:blushing: Stuffed crust pizza!! followed by clotted cream ice cream! well over 5000kcal was madness!!

That looks so nice

Olive Garden... My mom and I would go there and we would get the bread sticks and salad, but with the break sticks we would get dipping sauces and then our huge pasta meal and ALWAY take home a dessert to eat. Well over 3,000 calories for all that!!! And that was just my dinner meal! The thought of it makes me a little sick now, that alfrado pasta is NO good!!! (meaning health wise, taste wise it's amazing!!!) :ohwell:

I 100% agree with this!! I never realised how easy it was to over eat until i started using this site and seeing the calories in everything.... I now have started weighing my food and boy was i in for a shock!!! 100g isnt alot really with certain things although it is LOADS in Veg & Salad lol. This website is a god send.. Good luck to you all

It is just me or is reading this list of "worst foods you used to eat" making you hungry as well? There are so many items on this list that are delicious!!!

I stopped buying Sara Lee's pound cake, strawberries and whipped cream. I can never just have one bite.

A local bar around the corner has $.35 buffalo wing specials... that was delicious and after a long day of work, the chicken wings would beckon... I learned to go home from another street.

fountain pepsi or cherry coke. The big like 32 oz from a gas station.

You know having one every once in awhile won't kill me...but when that was ALL I drank ALL day, every day...that was a problem.

Proud to say I beat the addiction to it, lost 20lbs and now am able to let myself indulge in one soda every week. :-)

I still eat everything I used to eat (with the exception of maybe one or two things), only I used to eat way too much of everything and now it is controlled. If I want to go out with friends and eat a whole pizza, I have to work for it. Everything in moderation!
