Interesting fast-food calorie facts

This is disgusting & shocking....just shows how there's so much more fat in stuff then we imagine. Just lifted this off some AOL news report:


Quiznos Tuna Melt, regular <-- THIS SOUNDS SOMEWHAT REASONABLE
Calories: 1420 calories
Fat: 118 g <--OMG!!!!!!!
Sodium:1535 mg
If you want to stick to the health guidelines, don't eat anything else but this in one day, or you'll go overboard on fat. And you better hold the dressing on this one -- it'll save you 410 calories and 45 fat grams. Yikes!


Old Spaghetti Factory Chicken Caesar Salad, dinner portion
Calories: 990
Fat: 76 g
Sodium: 2410 mg
This salad will tip you over the edge of your daily fat and sodium allowances. Skipping the Caesar dressing will shave off 330 calories, 36 fat grams and 310 milligrams of sodium, but you'll still have to be pretty careful for the rest of the day.


Baskin Robbins Heath Shake, Large (32 oz.)
Calories: 2310 <-- F-me! that's a whole day+ in calories alone!!!!
Fat: 108 g <-- OMG!!!!!! coronary!
Sodium: 1560 mg
Baskin Robbins's Heath Shake is about as unhealthy as they come. It contains 320 percent of your daily saturated fat allowance, 98 percent of your recommended cholesterol, 101 percent of your daily carbs and 166 percent of your total fat intake. While no one expects their ice cream treats to be guilt-free, this shake could stand to go on a major diet. We'd also suggest skipping the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Shake with 2320 calories and 150 fat grams.


Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo'd, regular
Calories: 840
Fat: 21 g
Sure, this packs in some nutrients -- 80 percent of your daily calcium requirement and an excellent source of Vitamin C and D -- but your diet would be better off if you just drank a glass of milk and ate some whole fruits.

Subway Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, footlong
Calories: 750
Fat:10 <-- not too bad
Sodium: 2400 mg <-- blood-pressure death!!!
This Jared-approved sub will nearly max out your sodium allowance for the day.
 
if you want anyone to care about the fat numbers you need to break it down into sat,mono,poly and trans :p
 
Dude....that Baskin Robin's "Health" shake is 108 grams of fat...I don't care which fat it is; that's a HUGE amount of fat-calories no matter how you break it down.

How's 9 calories per gram of fat work for ya? :D Seriously, that "health shake" is nearly 1,000 calories in fat alone...and some person coming from the gym is going to think they're making the right choice getting it. Come on Car-Key, get with the program. ;)
 
Welcome to America. So nice of you to join us. Please take some mints on your right, it's only 500 calories, all of it fat, the bad kind.
 
1. Many so-called "health foods" are actually cleverly disguised junk foods that actually stimulate you to gain more belly fat... yet the diet food marketing industry continues to lie to you so they can maximize their profits.

2. Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and ab machines are the LEAST effective method of getting flat six pack abs. We'll explore what types of exercises REALLY work in a minute.

3. Boring repetitive cardio exercise routines are NOT the best way to lose body fat and uncover those six pack abs. I'll show you the exact types of unique workouts that produce 10x better results below.

4. You DON'T need to waste your money on expensive "extreme fat burner" pills (that don't work) or other bogus supplements. A special class of natural foods is much more effective. I'll tell you about these natural foods and their powers below.

5. Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks... they're all a complete waste of your time and money. Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that "ab contraption"... they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies. Again, you'll learn some of their secrets and what really works below.
 
I’m gonna start up a fast food joint and my plan is to get people buying my subs and burgers by making them as tasty and fattening as hell but I’m going to re-name the fats as ‘Tasty fats’ (previously transfats) and ‘boring fats’ (all the others).

As for the calorie information listed above; if any of you are surprised at the nutritional information after reading what the product is (Like who’d have thunk a white bread sub filled with melted cheese would be packed with calories?) then chances are you’re already a lard arse

OMG, this was especially preposterous when my dyslexic-ass saw HEALTH shake! ha ha ha ha ha :yelrotflmao:

And Typhon, watch it, I am a lard arse...in training to be a fitness guru, but currently still a lardy-pants. Don't hurt my e-feelings...:eek:
 
The only exercise equipment that I think is worthy is Chuck Norris's exercise machine. In his autobiography, he explained how he got about to that infomercial. He hurt his shoulder, so they put him on a similar machine but the problem was that the machine was huge and only used in hospital's rehabilitation rooms. So Chuck suggested to the manufacturer to decrease the size and they'd have a marketable product. So they did and they gave one to Chuck Norris and asked him for a infomercial deal... he said he'd do it for free but they told him that they have to pay him for it.
 
As for other exercise equipments, I think they might work if you stick with it. Stuff like P90x, abs work outs, etc are all great products if used right. I believe the creators actually did the stuff on the show to get the body they have. However, if a product requires you to take pills, or wrap something around you, then you know it's fake.

If persons "worked out and sweated" with their diet more than within their ab workouts, we would have more persons successful.

Good post, Dallen.

That's why I only ever get the six inch of this sandwich (cuts all those stats in half) and combine it with something healthy. Curse it for being so delicious though...

OMG
Only now did I realize myself that it's a "Heath" shake...not until this post did I realize that, I thought it said "Health" shake too.

Sucks Dyslexia ;)

Still...108 grams of fat is just crazy; saturated, polyunsaturated, monosaturated....whatever; it's just too much. It's the stuff heart-attacks are made of.

Carbs have 4 calories per gram
Protein has 4 calories per gram
Fat has 9 calories per gram

Eat what you want, eat what you will.....but if you eat more calories then your body needs, YOU'LL SWELL.

Interesting note or friendly comment: If I low-carb for 14 days, and eat over (in calories the 15th day),(and carb up), I do not swell. Why? Carb stores getting full. However, the 2nd day, is when the water retention (or normal hydration will surface (at least with me).

Additionally, if I eat a normal diet (and say a deficit) for 8 days, and eat over the 9th and 10th day (small surpluses), I do not swell (or retain more water than what is already experienced). At least with me, as long as carbs are reletively normal. Remember carbs do tend to cause water retention more or less depends on the person, and likewise carbs can be used as a nutrient diuretic (one can use carbs to move water in or out, assuming one is healthy)

Edit:

Additionally, one with the "correct bodily composite", but concerned with some reletively "thick" unwanted tissue (or trying to reveal the abs more, for example), can attempt to lose water retention in the skin, through manipulating carbs.

As with most keto-type OR low carb diets, what is "generally" lost first is water, and the loss of water can be a benefit (at times dependent on goal position), and then one could timely put it back--just through diet and/or manipulating carbs further.

Carbs are powerful..learn them...and they can be a tool at the right times.

When you low carb it, you can eat more protein and fat and not gain.
