I got a box of Ferrero Rocher for my Birthday, I love them...they are tiny..I could eat a whole box in one go...they are 660 calories for 9...SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY CALORIES FOR NINE of the little tasty fabulousnesses
oh yes i LOVE these but only buy the 3 pack0 -
avocado,,,,,god,,i almost fell off my chair,,haha loggon like a coffee, a bagel and an avocado,,well,,, that shocked me big time,,lol
Avacados are "good" fats though... definitely a keeper in my diet
Yeah, I eat half an avocado almost every day while staying within my goals. It's the easiest way for me to get enough fat in -- more filling than nuts and doesn't require an accompaniment the way peanut butter does, etc. I hope I never get tired of them!0 -
Great thread - I had a real eye opener to a lot of things:
- Orange Juice - wow loaded with calories and sugar
- Cheese - had no idea how many calories were in just one ounce of Cheese
- Peanut Butter and Nutella - nut based and fairly healthy, but again - I had no idea how many calories were in just one TBSP of these - I used to habitually eat one or two TBSP of these just walking by the kitchen...
P.S.
Nutella is no longer considered healthy.

Gold Star cheese coneys. =\ I knew they were fast food but had NO IDEA how fast the calories added up - oh and machine cappucinos... I had NO CLUE coffee was so fattening! IT'S COFFEE! no calories, right?!
Machine cappucinos are not coffee. Cappucinos have espresso and milk (calories). If you are getting a flavored capp, it's going to have a LOT of sugar (calories) in it.0 -
Red wine.. this made me very sad for a minute.0

Flan - 1 Slice has 620 calories! OMG! I love flan and this co-worker would make it for me so I would eat the whole thing which equaled about 2500 calories.0

Restaurant salads in general. You think you're doing the 'right thing' by ordering a salad then find out you'd be better off with a burger0

Walnuts! Everything I read about them says they're so good for you and great to help with diets. But no matter what size serving I plug in, it's always at least 100 calories.
Quesadillas, too. I knew they probably were pretty high, but they're actually one of the highest calorie things you can order in a Mexican restaurant.0 -
Fruit and low fat yoghurt - used to make big smoothies practically every day, thinking I was being healthy. WRONG!0
-
Some whole wheat bread. I was shocked!
I'm with you on this one! A single slice is usually at or near 100 calories...crazy!
The kind I buy is 35 per slice and doesn't taste like cardboard, thank goodness.0 -
granola, salads from restuarants0

Make 'em at home. I had one for breakfast and it was only 378 calories. and a crap ton of protein. You just have to look around for a good tortilla. I have Santa Fe Tortillas (got them at Sams) and they are low carb and decent fiber, too. BONUS!!
Added some eggs, black beans, spinach, cheese and I did have sour cream, too. YUMMY!0 -
For me it was a shocker to see how much a Dunkin Donuts flavored Iced Coffee was!! 200 calories!! I cant drink that if I want to eat... lol.. apparently, their flavorings have high calories, because I can make iced coffee at home and have a LOT less calories in it with my SF Davinici syrups!! Even better than DD's!0

I exercise harder for avocados.... love them...0

Mine biggest surprise were Buffalo Wings. I mean I knew they weren't healthy but had no idea how high calorie they are esp. when you add the blue cheese dressing. What foods surprised you?0
