HIDDEN calories!

[wombat]

Hi everybody,


I never ever before thought that healthy foods can have so much calories in them!

I bought myself Granose vegetable and seeds burger mix without even looking at the pack, thinking if it is so healthy I shouldn't worry.
Came home - in 2!!! small burgers there is over 500 kcal.!! As I haven't planned anything else to eat, I ate 3 today... (plus some other stuff) and it was over 800 ckal! Just in 3 veggie burgers!

What I wanted to say, that we have to be careful with even "healthy foods". Or what we think might be healthy.

I registred with myfitnesspal.com and it is ASTONISHING how the calories add up!

It is crazy - even shop bought salads have an incredible amount of calories in them.

shop bought sandwhiches n salads do tend to have more calories in them, cos they just slap on the spread and mayo etc, and dont always cut all the fat off meat etc, even the cheese always seems to look thicker. possibly vegetarian stuff, like veggie burgers, sausages, have more calories cos of the stuff they have to use to make them. but i look at the labels on everything now, what used to take me half an hour is more like an hour and a half now, but its worth it
