Most of us would agree that restaurants serve huge portions to us. I think we accept it as the American way. But I really don't think we understand how bad it is in some situations. I'm guilty of that too. Not following me, are you? Ok, take a look at this. Here is the Chipotle Calculator. I like Chipotle. And it seems pretty healthy. Why don't you see how many calories your order usually is. I ended up with 1,260 calories on my usual order. I haven't been back since I found this little tool. It kind of ruined it for me. There was an article I just read that talks about some items on menus that people are upset about. There's some restaurants that have menu items that are over 2,000 calories by themselves. That's a whole day's worth of caloric intake for a lot of people. Here in Houston, there's a dessert at the Cheesecake Factory that has 1,380 calories. And I thought my burrito was bad.
In related news, the restaurant that created the 15 pound burger a while back, recently created a 123 pound burger for sale at their restaurant. They are hoping to break the world record to 2 other restaurants that have 105 pound burgers. Read more about it. Is anyone else disgusted, or is it just me?
"Leigey said he didn't know how many calories were stuffed into his latest gigantic entree.
"If you were worried about calories you would be at home eating Kellogg's," he said."
