Surprisingly calorific foods?
A pot of oatley strawberry yoghurt is 400 calories. What are some foods you came across that you were surprised by the amount of calories either a lot more or less.
Granola, at least it surprised me when I was much younger that it was in some sense "unhealthy" since I thought of it as being you know, "crunchy granola hippy health food" kind of stuff. With age and experience it makes a lot more sense, since it's basically just grains and nuts that are very high calorie (i.e. high energy output) foods, concentrated into a single "meal" where you would probably eat more of them than if you were snacking on loose grains/nuts or similar (plus with milk added).
Still like it, although I don't eat it that often (although less for that reason and more because it's very uneconomical as cereal options go
).

it’s sooo good!!

so true!There seems to be a lot of granola fans on here
I personally prefer porridge.
Peanuts shocked me.
Others that are less intense but still surprising are probably things like mango and avocado. Not bad for you, but surprisingly high calorie.
Surprisingly low calorie foods are usually microwave ready meals for me lmao.

Cheesecake.
A few years back I went to the US and popped into the Cheesecake Factory for a gander, I kid you not there was a list of Cheesecake slices with between 1000-1500 calories each.

WOW, how big was one slice? Are you sure it wasn't the whole cheesecake, as 1000-1500 calories per slice is outrageous.

Nope, one slice, they’re bigger than your average British slice.
To be honest they’re pretty gross once you get your third or fourth bite, the texture just rubs me the wrong way.
