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.

ewwwwwwwww

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?)

Baskin-Robbins serves something with shellfish in it??

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 )

But... you can cut your calories by half if you just stick to this one

Glad I could help!

PS... yep, I think I still see the ads for a "shake for breakfast, lunch and sensible dinner" every now and then! I tried it once... STARVED! I guess that's the point. I lasted two days. Then binged on something similar to the above!

[pyxichick]

That half the calories in that thing DON'T come from fat. Who would've thunk.

I too was appalled at all the chemical garbage on the ingredient list for that thing!! Pretty nasty--don't think I'll be having one of those anytime. Yuck. Why must they put all that crap in there?

[sundial]

2310 calories??

[TahoeDirtGirl]

Yeah but it does cover over 100% of your daily calcium!!

I just couldn't resist.

This reminds me of watching someone I worked with order a skyscraper drink with foo foo whip n sauce at starbucks and then wondering why she was gaining weight. Oh and did I mention that was AFTER we ate lunch? Some of them look like sundaes! Thou shall not drink sundaes....

[SadieKate]

Who is touting it as a recovery drink?

Yeah, ice cream is high on the glycemic index and has some protein. Just consider it frozen chocolate milk to be shared with about 4 of your closest friends. If this version didn't have all the chemicals, what is wrong with it? There are lots of times I can't stomach solid food at the end of a difficult century on a hot day and ice cream has saved the day. Not sure, I'd want candy in it, but whatever gets some food (sans the nasty chemicals) in your stomach is better than nothing.
