Food and calories

[cl_517]

This is what 2,000 calories look like:

1. Pizza

You'll have to eat 7 slices to equal 2,000 calories!!

2. Bacon

1 slice of bacon contains 43 calories, you'll have to eat approximately 46 slices of bacon!

3. Tacos

1 taco = 210 calories = 9 1/2 tacos!

4. Donuts

1 donut = 128 calories = 15 1/2 donuts!

5. Beer

1 can of beer = 154 calories = 13 cans of beer!

6. Chocolate bar

About 7 chocolate bars to equal 2,000 calories!

7. Chocolate Ice cream

1 cup of ice cream = 286 calories = 7 cups of ice cream!

8. Soda

There are 140 calories in a coca cola soda can, you'll have to drink approximately 14 cans of soda!

9. Hamburger

Eat about 8 hamburgers to be 2,000 calories!

10. French Fries

Mcdonald's french fries = 378 calories = about 5 medium french fries!

---

So there you have it!!

Do you know how many calories you eat every day? Do you care about the calories you eat?

[COCOCHANEL]

i don't care, never gain weight no matter how unhealthy i eat and i eat a LOT.

[BertMacklinFBI]

[cl_517]

Funny take - I am lucky that I don't indulge that much in fast food - I have no cravings for fast food - (1), (9) and (10) maybe once every 2/3 years - (2) A few strips of bacon every 3 weeks - (3) A meal in a mexican restaurant 1/2 a year - (4) Donuts rarely - (5) Beer not as much these days, get merry once every 6 weeks - (6) and (7) not much 2/3 a year and finally (8) I don't like soda.
I am not a saint - I just don't have a sweet tooth or like junk food - I don't calorie count whatever is normal 2.5k a day or so.

You can't just generalize food like that. The calorie amount varies from brand to who makes the food and what's in or on it. Like with beer. Sure, some beers might be 154 calories, but many more are 200+. And hamburgers. For many fast food joints, you would only need to eat three or four of those things to reach 2,000 calories. Calorie amount also depends on serving size, so if you consider 8 oz of Coke to be one serving, it's going to have fewer calories than 16 oz because you're consuming less. Calorie counts cannot be as simplified as you have made them out to be in this post.

Contrary to what people believe, fast food is of very low nutritional value. Yesterday was having a discussion about fast food with a girl I met, she said the best way to fill you up is to go to a McDonald's and I thought to myself "someone, please shoot me or her :< "

[cl_517]

I agree with you. It's been a while since I've eaten something from Mcdonald's

[ccp16]

I think these must be all the healthy options... because one chocolate bar to me is usually 800 calories at least! A good burger with nice bread 500 min!

[cl_517]

really? wow, 800 calories in just one bar? what kind of chocolate is it?

[ccp16]

I know a medium sized milka milk choclate bar is about 600 calories per a bar... I think Cadbury is a bit more to be honest!

[ccp16]

I am sure dark is better, I really like milky chocolate haha

[ccp16]

Sorry to spam you on here, but I also wanted to say the by far my worst thing in my diet is cheese. I hat to skrimp on low fat cheese, but most I buy tend to be about 100-120 calories per a 30g... I have about 30g of cheese on everything haha

[FidemMeam]

I'll tell you exactly what 2,000 calories looks like: Domino's pasta bread bowl with lava crunch cakes for dessert.

[cl_517]

that sounds delicious!!

[FidemMeam]

Oh my god you have no idea how delicious it is. Also how awful for you lol.

[nert73]

My messed up stomach destroys calories. I'm not gaining any weight by eating... or by growing for that matter. I have no idea how many calories I eat every day and I don't intend to care about calories unless I somehow become quite overweight.

[YazanAA]

Andddd how many calories in your lips? I mean, how many times does one have to kiss you in order to get 2000 calories? :p

[cl_517]

hahahahahhah!

[Kshppatel]

Bout tree fiddy

[Jxpxtxr]

This is good to know lol although really eating 2000kcal in one sitting should be pretty damn hard even for a bigger person! :O
About the chocolate though.. 100gr of chocolate are a bar where I come from and 100gr are about 550kcal - so you can only eat between 3-4 and you'll already be at the 2000 limit really.

[Octavius]

God, I'm supposed to be eating 3500-3700 calories a day and almost none can be junk food...

[cl_517]

that is great :)

[Phoenix98]

Or I could just eat a military grade MRE which contains around 2,000 calories and no I don't care lol I consume easily close to or over 2,000 a day just through eating healthy foods and recipes, I don't indulge much in fast or junk food.

[PT1911]

Those MREs though...

They back your internal plumbing up lol

[Phoenix98]

@PT1911 ehh somewhat it isn't to bad eating one just every other day or so I love em when I am rushing to work and I don't have time to fix dinner, just grab a bag and hope I get one I like.

[Anno_Domini]

A while back I went on an all meat (and eggs) diet, eating 2000-4000 calories a day of the highest-fat meat I could find. I lost 40 pounds and was so skinny that people said I looked ill.

A calorie is not just a calorie. It depends on what kind of food it is.

[Anno_Domini]

I didn't exercise at all during that period, for what it's worth.

[blondfrog]

I just clicked on this so I could stare at the pepperoni :P

[cl_517]

ahahhaa

[Xoxoxooo123]

I try not to count them but it's a compulsive habit of mine so generally if I eat around 1300 I'm happy but usually a it's around 2000+
I eat a lot I don't really gain I don't know

[Ashely_Princess]

Sometimes I just wish the unhealthy stuff was good for you and the healthy stuff was bad for you then we can eat all the junk food and sodas whenever we want because we'll be losing weight :D :) <3

[MickyMouse1231]

I eat pretty much everything xD I went through a phase where I counted calories religiously but that didn't end the best for me.

[Bards]

can't be bothered with counting most of the time
I'll just eat it and use common sense
Just dont over do it and you'll be okaaay

[Random_chick_2384]

The molten lava cake at chili's is like 1,125 or somthing like that.

[Kshppatel]

I'm gonna die of heart disease if I go by your food choices up there lmao

[GoodDogNigel]

Eat right, exercise, die anyways.

[Omar5881]

STILL NOTHING WOULD MAKE US APPART BETWEEN ME AND FOOD
