Just a couple of days ago I was talking about how I see all of these commercials for restaurants that are nowhere near me, and some of you were talking about Red Robin restaurant. I have never heard of this place until you guys enlightened me, but guess what commercial I saw last night? That is right, red Robin, whose closest location is over 30 miles away.
I am not a fast food eater, but every once in awhile a cheeseburger is just so good from McDonalds or Wendy's. I have not eaten any fast food this year except for chick fil a, and they are so good I refuse to consider that fast food.
It is not!
E came home with a nutritional guide to fast food restaurants last week. I played the game I play where I dream of what I would eat if I had the metabolism of my husband. I looked up some of my favorite fast food orders.
It was not good.
A taco bell taco supreme? 220 calories and 14 grams of fat. IN ONE. E eats like 6 of those in one sitting plus a burrito.
A McGriddle from McDonalds? 450 calories and 21 grams of fat.
A blimbie best sandwich? 440 calories and 15 grams of fat
Me: "E this is a disgusting book and I am disgusted with the gross food I have consumed in these fast food places in the past"
E: " I know. (pause) Do you want McDonalds for dinner?"
Me: "Stop it."
E: "friiiiieeesss???"
Me: "you know what the sick part is? This knowledge has not put me off to any of this food, I would still eat it."
E: "look up chick fil a, I could eat that tonight"
Me: " I will tell you this one more time, chick fil a is NOT a fast food restaurant. It is more then that and I refuse to look it up."
E: "we are sick"
Me: " yeah" "where is the frickin ice cream man?"

ReplyDeletePass me the brownies too while you're at it ;)
Funny post!
I don't really care about calories and stuff but then, some people say I'm nothing but "skin and bones".
omg taco bell taco supreme... yum!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, I'm in agreement with you on chic fil-a. It's the food of the gods. Who needs ambrosia? lol
Loooove Chik-Fil-A. I agree, totally not fast food, that is real chicken right there.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely hit Wendy's up once in a while but I have not seen the light of McDonald's in close to five years now. If I were to start again, there would be no going back so I just leave well enough alone.
Chick Fil A - YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteRed Robin - YUM!!!!
Now I'm hungry! Once I started really looking at the calorie and fat count in foods I drastically changed my eating habits. Which was a good thing considering that's what you are supposed to do on Weight Watchers! LOL!
Sindy, I will send you a copy. You will never eat out again.
ReplyDeleteDid someone say tacos?
ReplyDeletei love the ice cream man!!! I hate the songs he plays but the ice cream is so good, and so good for you.
