How about sushi? I got one roll that was made with tuna and I was floored when I found out it had like 500-600 calories. What the crap!? I thought I was doing good
Not only that....the rice has a bit of sugar mixed in to make it stick together! All the time I was eating sushi I thought I was doing good too!0 -

Wraps kind of surprised me. Sometimes, you're better off getting your sub or sandwich in a roll than a wrap. I didn't really expect that.
As far as Red Robin goes, the size of those burgers is ridiculous! That's probably a large factor in the amount of calories.
Also- I mean, I knew they were horrible, but looking into milkshakes- WOWSA! Never again, I suppose willk I drink a Coldstone milkshake. Even once the weight is off and I'm maintaining, they will be so much more than a day's worth of calories.0 -
I remember when I first started this whole thing I remember making myself a lunch salad. Then I added up everything I put in. I remember saying outoud to no one 'Whaddya mean there's 200 calories in 2 table spoons of ranch dressing? and there's more than that on the salad, WTF!" Learned that lesson. Right now I make a lunch salad that comes in at 270 with turkey, cheese, and peas mixed in.
I was appalled to learn that my chicken sandwich and chips that I got at Quizno's 1700 calories!!! I mean no wonder I was 100 lbs over weight.
Now if I go out to eat it's to splurge. My wife and I went to one steak house, and I almost threw up when she looked up that 1 dinner roll was 400 calories! I'm a card carrying libritarian, but should that even be legal to have a 400 calorie dinner roll?0 -
I made a salad at home before and it ended up being about 500 or 600 cals. Salad dressing is a killer and the croutons and mozzarella cheese topped it off! I'm much more conscious when I make salads now!

I read that instead of using croutons you should use walnuts.
Thanks for the idea!0 -

A salad at over 1600 calories? I could hardly believe that!0 -
ON THE FLIP SIDE. Today I had chinese food for dinner and I'm thinking, Holy Crap, considering lunch, when I log in my calories tonight, I'm gonna be suicidal. Well, I got the kids portion of beef and broccoli, brown rice, one spare rib, and an egg roll. I was amazed to find out that the beef and broccoli is actually very low in calories. I ate just enough rice to complement my beef and broccoli. When I logged in my calories, I found out that I'd only consumed HALF the calories of what I ate in soup and salad at Olive Garden. Let today be a lesson to never take anything you eat for granted.0
