My work was nice enough to offer to buy me lunch today (see earlier post re: my birthday)! I was in process of wolfing down my homemade egg salad sandwich when they asked me, but being that I can (and do) eat just about anything, I accepted. After all, who turns down a free lunch!?
Aside: they also got me "The Simpsons Movie" on blu-ray. Aren't they nice?
Anyway, I decided on Potbelly (yes, even after I had just eaten a sandwich -- what of it?!). I ended up getting a turkey sandwich AND an Oreo milkshake. Come to find out, they use WHOLE MILK in their milkshakes! GOOD. GOD.
I don't even want to KNOW how many calories I just inhaled. Well, that's not entirely true:
Shake: 740 calories, 36g of fat (23g saturated fat -- that's 117% of my daily allowance). Not to mention all the sodium and cholesterol.
Sandwich (or, as my aunt Mary U. calls it, "sandridge"): 421 calories, 9g of fat (1g saturated fat).
So, the lesson here is, I should have stopped at the sandridge. Well, there is more than one lesson, I guess. Confucius say, stop at one lunch so your arteries don't explode.
