So I was reading this article on men’s health and am quite alarmed. For a while I started watching my calories and I think I am gonna get back into it. That article was a very rude awakening. I never knew how bad eating out for you really is. How many of you go out and sometimes split an appetizer? You may want to rethink that.
Worst Starter
Chili’s Awesome Blossom
2,710 calories 203 g fat
194 g carbs 6,360 mg sodium
Even splitting this appetizer with friends will set you back almost an entire meal’s worth of calories. Like to dip each piece in the dipping sauce? Better tack on a couple hundred calories to that.
Think by getting the chicken items from fast food places is “eating healthy”? Maybe you should look at this one from McDonalds:
Worst Fast-Food Chicken Meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald’s (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55 grams (g) fat (4.5 g trans fat)
48 g carbohydrates
Don’t forget that you probably eat fries and have a soda with this meal. That’s just the chicken by itself! I really need to look into this a bit more and find out the actual calories of the places I frequent. Maybe I’ll be bringing my lunch more often. Would be a good way to save some money too!
