The Calorie thread **UNOFFICIAL & UNCONFIRMED**

[rh71]

In an effort to have Americans realize how much crap they eat everyday, I present to you - the Calorie thread. What are your favorite foods - and how many calories does it have ?

I just had 2 slices of Dominos last night and 2 more just now for lunch.

Domino's:
[*] 2 slices from a 14" large pie - 515 cal
Taco Bell:
[*] Grilled Stuft Burrito - 730 cal !!! Yeah baby!
[*] Meximelt - 290 cal
Wendy's:
[*] 2 Junior Cheeseburger Deluxes - 700 cal
[*] 5 piece nuggets - 220 cal
[*] small Frosty - 330 cal
McDonald's:
[*] McChicken - 430 cal !!! Whoa... I often eat 2 at a time.
[*] Small Fries - 210 cal

Your heart is crying right now, with that said here's what I ate so far today:

2 Egg McMuffins (290 calories, 12g of fat each) 580 calories and 24g of fat
1 Hash brown (130 calories, 8g of fat) 130 calories and 8g of fat
1 glass of Tropicana orange juice

Bring on the cholesterol.


Looked up the calorie content of the above

 

[imported_Tomato]

Tiramisu for breakfast.

Just finished a bowl of spaghetti w/marinara sauce.

I might eat half an Italian chicken sausage sandwich later for lunch.

I eat a LOT during work.

 

[amnesiac]

16oz mocha from Coffee Cartel - 390 calories
1/2 of a "sun cake" (nasty vegan oat bar) = 100 calories

Lunch:
Meatloaf sandwich = 400 calories

Honestly, you're right. My chest ain't feeling so well right now...

I had 13 of those slices (over 3 days) the last time we ordered 2 pies... didn't bother me then.

One basic 12oz can of Coke: 130 Calories.

If you're watching calories, don't forget also to watch the balance between calories from fat, from carbs, and from protein. The Army's nutritionists recommend that, for someone who is in shape and has an active lifestyle, you get 50-60% of your total calories from carbs, less than 25% from fat, and the rest from protein.

1 fat gram = 9 calories
1 gram of protein or 1 gram of carbs = 4 calories

I've had 1 bowl of instant quaker brown sugar/maple oatmeal so far. Thinking of getting togo's for lunch.

Dairy Queen small malt:

calories: 650
fat: 16g
carb: 111g
protein: 15g

They say a large malt from a diner, old soda fountain, or even a fast food large malt is:

calories: 1100
fat: 25g+
carb: 188g
protein: 25g

Think about that next time you order a malt with your supersize meal.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

You ate at both McDonald's and Wendy's in one day?

I did it all the time in HS, sometimes I would have fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I added up what I eat at McDonalds occasionally and it came out to ~750 calories and 89g fat. The calories are fine, it is the fat that is disgusting.

 

[dxkj]

Bowl of Frosted Flakes and Milk- 200 calories
2 Lemon gummy slices- 75 calories

 

[BatmanNate]

You peope eat a damn lot of fast food. :Q

I have had a cup of coffee so far today, that's it. lol Although lunchtime brings some leftover steak, swiss chard, a piece of blackberry pie and some milk.

It is basically a milkshake (you do know what a milkshake is don' you? ). If you want to get technical a malt is just a milkshake with malted milk powder in it.

 

[Saulbadguy]

2 Eggs, over easy. Slice of Low-carbohydrate bread. 2 beef sausage links.
8 o'z pork tenderloin, green salsa.
piece of string cheese.

Not sure on the calorie content ..probably quite a bit ;-)

 

[rh71]

Yum... another Grilled Stuft Burrito and Meximelt down the pipe for dinner just now.

Based on commentary by some in my own life who were trying to diet, I've determined that most people have no idea as to the relative calorie count in most foods. Sure we all know that a bigmac has 550 calories, and when combined with fries and a pop you can be up to 1400 easy, but can people really bridge the gap and put that number next to the calories they should be eating in a day? Ie, have 1500 calories for lunch (easy), then with beer and pizza and chips and what not it's quite easy to hit 4500 calories in a day. In fact on days I decide I deserve it 4000 is generally the minimum I eat and I'm not even trying to eat a lot - just eat what I want.

Other days I aim for 1700 calories which is about equal to what many people have in a single meal!

 

[hellfreeze]

It was stated that I need 3750 calories a day (6 small meals a day) to gain weight, which I am trying to do.

And:
600g of carbs
225g of protein
40g of fat calories

 

[boi]

1 huge brownie- 1350 calories :Q:Q:Q:Q:Q:Q

mmmmmmmmm.......

Just to be a technical dooshbag, it's Calorie with a capital C.

calorie is 1/1000 of a Calorie. Food is measured in Calories, or a kilo-calorie.

I wish my food was rated in calories

TRYING to gain weight; something I fear I'll never experience Well unless I get in a big accident and have to eat to live. That would suck.

Yeah then the 5000 calories I eat when I'm trying are actually 5. Man I'd lose weight quick

 

[0roo0roo]

from memory
Starbucks grande caramel frapuccino ~550 calories :Q

and i just looked up the calories of a piece of KFC chicken breast. quite interesting. 380 cal for original recipie. 460 for extra crispy.

original recipie looks greasier..kinda odd

kfc owns most fast food, and it basically costs the same

 

[apoppin]

I never ever count calories and I never ever eat fast food.



My weight is perfect.

Problem solved.



I f you wanna GAIN or LOSE weight, don't forget EXERCISE.
