speaking of which, I'm eating out at lunch. work related. The boys decided that Mexican food was a great idea.

I ordered a smallest lunch menu item. My "proper" upbringing put me in auto mode so I ate the whole burrito with all that rice and beans. 26 hours later and I'm still hurting. no dinner last night. Couldn't go out riding cause just felt awful with all that food. Did finally manage to get on my trainer for over an hour at 75% (HR 150 out of 203 max). Skipped breakfast still not hungry. Truth of the matter, I forced myself onto the trainer cause I was afraid that all those calories were going straight to my muffin top. That $9.00 dish must have had over 3,000 calories I swear.

Maybe by tonight I'll be ready for garden salad.

But look on the bright side. It's got no crustaceans!

LOL! I noticed that too...and didja look at how it stacks up as more than the daily requirements in every category?

Once upon a time...I might have had one of those...but now I have a small sundae if I go to places like that.

"a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and a sensible dinner"


(the real question is, are you old enough to remember these ads?)

[OakLeaf]

Once upon a time...I might have had one of those...but now I have a small sundae if I go to places like that.

Once upon a time I might've had one of those.

Until I read this label I might've had whatever small non-dairy desserts they might serve (if they even do? haven't been in one in decades)

But parabens in the sauce?! I didn't even know they were legal for products that were supposed to be consumed rather than applied externally? No thanks. I'll have a cup of decaf. (And yes I know about the solvents, never mind anything that might be in or on the cup....)


(and I remember the Slim-Fast ads too )

Baskin-Robbins serves something with shellfish in it??

Now that I'm on break and have no set schedule, I tend to not eat as well.

I've been making my own shakes with lots of fruits and Dreyer's vanilla ice cream. The making of the shake and then the drinking of it with a straw keeps me occupied for a while. I tend to eat out of boredom, so this helps.

I would love something like that BR shake. But we don't go there.

Have a cup of Yuban...for dessert.

This is why restaurants and fast-food joints are fighting tooth & nail against the proposed requirements that they list nutritional & caloric info on their menus & displays.

If consumers actually knew how many calories & how much fat was in that Big Mac & fries, some would probably head for the door!

V, after you ride the East Bay 200K permanent - 125 miles with 7000 ft of climbing - I'd say you're allowed a BR shake !

Tho maybe you should stick with a 'small'

[Veronica]

That's funny you should say that. After the first 200K I got a fruit smoothie at Jamba Juice as my "proof" of finishing.

I would have done the same thing after the second one, but the line was WAY long! I had to settle for a Red Bull.

We did stop at Jack in the Box on the way home though.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm convinced that there are lots of people who don't do much reading anymore at all, and they probably think 3000 calories is just what a typical/normal meal is.....they have no concept of what a 3000 calorie for the whole day concept is.
Yeah people have gotten used to gargantuan serving sizes- they see them as normal now, thanks to the food industry.
I see little 7 year old kids in restaurants with quart sized sodas, and then their parents nagging them that they are not eating their 6 little grease-laden 'chicken' nuggets. Always followed up by huge pieces of cake or sundaes....
Half of all this so-called "food" winds up in the garbage, so much fat and breading that the body can't even force it down. GROSS.

Chock-Full-Of-Nuts is such heavenly coffee,
