That's true, but I probably won't get to eat again for another three hours.

Oof. I just calculated my favorite item at Chipotle--chicken soft tacos with green salsa, cheese and lettuce.

Calories 649
Calories from Fat 242
Total Fat 27.5g
Saturated Fat 9.5g
Cholesterol 126mg
Sodium 1558mg

Without cheese, the numbers aren't much lower. What the hell are they putting in that chicken?

I think Chipotle chickens are all brain-fed.

I know, high in LDLs, but good stuff.

Just for the sheer confessional value, these are the stats for a medium Sizzler pizza from Dominos. Which I used to have for dinner whenever I could afford it. And ate the whole lot, unless I could afford Chicken Strippers as well:

Calories - 1440
Total Fat - 49.6
Saturated Fat - 18.4
Salt - 10.4

Sweet dimply thighs. It might have made a difference if I read that last year.
BTW I didn't think Americans could think in metric? ;)

Marijuana is sold in ounces, but cocaine is sold in grams, so we're required to at least learn that conversion.

Well the big flour tortilla alone is 330 calories (three small ones are 300.) The rice is another 240.

===============

I just ate an entire Chipotle (1) burrito. I usually only eat half to 2/3rds, but I was reading and didn't notice how much I'd eaten until it was almost gone. Now my belly hurts.

(1) Chipotle is a chain that started here in Denver. I think McDonalds bought them out, but I don't know how far they've spread. Their burritos are the size of a puppy - and not some new-born poodle, these are like eating a two-week old lab puppy, wrapped in a tortilla and still warm and wiggly.

Spoken like someone who's never had the pleasure of a Garbage Burrito from Rosa Maria's.

Pictures tomorrow. Yes, I took a picture of the burrito. Yes, it was twenty years ago. Yes, I still have the picture. No, I'm not still full.

Clarification please. I could possibly see how 48 grams of fat would be a "very, very high" value, one you would normally spread over two or three days. But are you saying that 1060 calories is two to three days worth of caloric intake for you?

350 calories a day? That says "hunger strike" or "malnutrition" to me.

Having said that, I am very happy to see your success! Congratulations!




I am just not willing to cut my throat like that.

Sundae 11-08-2007 04:23 PM

Actually I did look at it again and considered clarifying, but it's an "I Can't Believe I just Ate..." thread not, "SG's MeMeMe Thread About Diet" - trying to save you all the pain!

I exaggerated basically. But I would back away so fast from anything that had those nutritional values I'd leave skidmarks in the supermarket.

I eat approx 1000, sometimes up to 1500 cals a day, depending on appetite and what I have prepared. For example if it's all veggie it will be lower than if I've used Quorn (fake chicken or beef soya protein)

I eat up to approx 30g fat a day. I do not deliberately keep it this low, but in order to eat more I'd be forcing myself to eat, which is counter-productive. Most of what I eat is pulses - mixed to help ensure protein, vegetables, fruit and semi-skimmed milk. I use olive oil for cooking, a little cheese and low fat blended butter on toast or bagels. I am never hungry, I occasionally indulge with a bag of pretzels, fried chicken, a McDonalds, a chocolate bar, but I am healthy and sane. Except right now I am craving cheese fondue. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......... cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.

Thank you, miss.

Chipotle burritos-the-size-of-a-sucking-pig do come off about like that. Hadn't known they were quite that caloric -- we've got a Chipotle in the next town up the road in this coastal Southern California county -- but they are indeed filling. Sounds like you'd want to skip the sour cream and stick with guacamole.

Double choc Magnum

Australian? A beverage?

It's ice cream on a stick covered in chocolate
I posted a pic a while back in another thread, but I can't find it

Not sure about the Double Choc - perhaps chocolate ice-cream inside with chocolate ripples?
