Since this Labor Day, THE last “unofficial” day of summer, I’d love to take you down the memory lane that was your eating habits throughout the weekend. How did you do? Did you eat yourself silly like me? Or did you stick to your regular diet (c’mon now, no fibbing!)
If, by the off chance, I was not the only other American eating like there would never be another summer barbecue throughout the rest of time, here is what your calorie consumption might have looked like after just one meal (albeit, it was a large, large meal!) Take a look:
- Cheddar Bratwurst - Calories: 270, Fat Grams: 22
- Regular Potato Chips - Calories: 150, Fat Grams: 10
- Lite French Onion Dip - Calories: 35, Fat Grams: 1.5
- Doritos - Calories: 150, Fat Grams: 8
- Bacon Ranch Boxed Pasta Salad - Calories: 280, Fat Grams: 11
- Watermelon - Calories: 40, Fat Grams: 0
- Faygo Red Pop x 3 - Calories: 360, Fat Grams: 0
- Baked Beans - Calories: 140, Fat Grams: 1
- Half a Kogel Vienna Hot Dog - Calories: 80, Fat Grams, 7.5
So, yeah, we’re looking at over 1500 calories and about 61 grams of drippy, mostly-saturated fat. Yum. Add to that unknown calories for extras like homemade potato salad, Texas sheet cake and condiments like buns, pickles, ketchup and mustard, and…WOW!
Is this anything like what YOUR menu consisted of this weekend? Please tell me I’m not alone.
Off to work out…for the next 17 hours!
Have a great Labor Day!!
