    FRUIT!!! compared to vegetables fruit is super high in calories!

    And sugar!! It amazes me how we're supposed to eat so much fruit in a day when eating one piece is practically my sugar goal for the whole day!

    Mine was a rice side dish, on eof the cheap packets you can get at the store. 1 serving for 270 calories! And pasta was another! It's so easy to eat way more than 1 portion of those things without even thinking about it.

    I ate Nutella growing up in Greece. But, it was always looked at as a treat - it wasn't marketed like it is here in the US (at least not back in the 80's)

    Coffee creamer - I buy the fat free french vanilla thinking I was only getting about 25 calories a cup. I actually measured how many tablespoons I put in my coffee (I like it sweet) and it was almost 4 which was 100 calories a cup - I drink anywhere from 3 to 4 cups somedays - most of the time two. I'm glad I measured it - would have never thought. Now I use stevia with just an actual 1 tablespoon and I don't drink as much anymore.

    Rice surprised me. But, most of all it was my innocent side salad which often topped my dinner choice in calories after I added the cheese, croutons, dressing, etc. I'm much more careful in my choice of toppings now.

    Tartar sauce and Jager.

    :sad: Wow...I just looked up HOW bad Jäger is. 103 calories in ONE shot?

    One shot?! Ow my aching heart...

    :sick:

    A shot of Jagermeister is 155, an ounce of Jager is 103. So, about 160% of the calories of a shot of traditional 80 proof alcohol.

    UNBELIEVABLE! I had no idea that it was this much and thank God I did it early in the day where I totally limited the remainder. I don't know that I will be able to handle even a small cause I am sure that is a lot also.

    Nutulla is about the same as low-fat peanut butter.....not the worst ever, but not high health with whole fruits/veggies/whole grains

    Everything has more calories than I expected before I started paying attention to it. Ketchup is mostly sugar, but mustard has no appreciable calories at all. I now use mustard over mayo or ketchup wherever I can find it palatable.

    Many packaged snacks are loaded with calories, trans fat, sodium, etc. But we're evolutionarily-tuned to like crunchy foods. Primates consume insects which have a lot of good protein. A carry-over is our love of crunchy snacks. Now I snack on radishes, pickles and carrots instead when I need that crunchy fix. Not insects, but hey if you wanna go old school...

    I find it impossible to meet my sodium goals if I eat any food that comes in a package. The amount of sodium in food is scandalous. It should be criminal. I wonder how much we would save on health care if we stopped loading up packaged food with sodium. It should be as obvious as smoking and other health risks. Sodium haters: UNITE!

    Oh and Mike's Hard Lemonade Mango Punch - my favorite drink on the weekends - we were buying it by the case - I thought it was probably the same as a beer. Nope - 300 calories a bottle! No wonder I packed weight on last fall!.

    Ah pretty much any prepared food from any major chain!!! It's insane! Where do these calories come from?! I used to perpetually eat out, and I have to seriously cut back since one meal out has the same calorie content as three meals prepared myself!

    A hamburger patty from Costco. One patty is 6 oz...yet the serving size is 3 oz. That was not a fun revelation.

    Ok - things like that just piss me off. Who is eating only a 1/2 burger as a general rule when making it themselves? I've gone out to a restaurant and gotten a ridiculously fattening burger with crazy toppings, etc, and split it with someone and had that be great, but I have never just made burgers at home and had 1/2 of one.

    35 per slice?! Mind telling me what kind of bread that is?

    Sara Lee 45 Calorie Delightful - Low Carb Bread is only 45 cal./slice. I won't make a sandwich with any but that. I also don't put cheese or mayo on it. Jut bread, spicy mustard and meat.

    Calories 45 Sodium 120 mg
    Total Fat 1 g Potassium 0 mg
    Saturated 0 g Total Carbs 9 g
    Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 2 g
    Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 1 g
    Trans 0 g Protein 3 g

    I eat Nature's Own bread. Love, love! I get either the Whole Wheat (50 calories per slice) or Whole Grain (70 calories per slice). Both have substance (read gluten) and meet whole grains requirements. I won't eat anything else! The hot dog and hamburger rolls are awesome as well! Bread is one of the foods where I will go higher calorie to get a better product.

    Anyone who is interested, WalMart carries it.

    Yea, I switch between the Sara Lee low carb and FlatOut wraps. The key for me is watching the "extras" that I used to put on a sandwich (cheese, mayo, etc.). I found that I really like spicy mustard so I just use that.

    A decent sized sandwich and green beans or broccoli is around 300-400 calories for me. That's 1/4th of my daily goal. Throw in some exercise and it doesn't hurt me one bit :)
