The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) just announced its winners in the 2010 Xtreme Eating Awards on Tuesday. Some of the items had as many calories (about 2,000) and saturated fat (20 grams) as someone should eat in an entire day.
I had to have a conversation with myself whether or not I wanted to view the calories listed in these specific foods/restaurants! But then I thought to ymself that life it toooooo damn short to worry about calories!!!
Food is GOOOOOOOD damit!!!
- California Pizza Kitchen: tostada pizza with grilled steak (1,680 calories, 32 grams saturated fat) and the pesto cream penne (1,350 calories, 49 grams saturated fat).
- Five Guys: bacon cheeseburger (920 calories, 30 grams saturated fat).
- P.F. Chang's: double pan-fried noodles combo (1,820 calories).
- Cheesecake Factory: pasta carbonara with chicken (2,500 calories, 85 grams saturated fat) and its chocolate tower truffle cake (1,670 calories, 48 grams saturated fat).

We're all gonna die anyway, right? Ok....bad joke!
What you gotta understand as you're reading this is the "fat grams" listed are NOT TOTAL fat grams, they're just the SATURATED fat grams. This is the stuff that kills you! 48 grams?? Jesus, I feel my seizure coming on....lol
ReplyDeleteWell, not that I'll never eat any of the things on the list again; I just know that I can't eat it all the time (or once a month even lol)
