Kent and I have been feeling a little pudgy lately. Yesterday morning, I woke up wondering how bad the calorie counts are for
Smashburger (which we have been enjoying frequently lately), the pizza from
Whole Foods (because sometimes it’s nice to just pick up a pizza), and also
Unforked (a new local favorite of ours).
I looked up two of them, and really that was enough. No
wonder we feel pudgy. We’ve been undoing all our healthy eating at breakfast
and lunch with these dinners.
Spicy Baja (Kent’s favorite): 761
Smash fries (also his favorite): 520
Total: 1281
Spicy Baja Black Bean burger (my choice): 670
Fries (also my choice): 460
Total: 1130
Ouch.
Unforked is better. I get two Cali tacos (250 each), and
Kent gets two of those plus a Conquistador (247). So my dinner is a more
reasonable 500 calories and his clocks in at 747. But then we usually have a
small bowl of ice cream . . .
I couldn’t find a reliable count for Whole Foods pizza that
they bake but I know it’s not good news. Not with the richness of the crust, all that cheese and of course the pepperoni that's liberally sprinkled all over the top.
So at least we know. We have a good idea on what’s making
the pudge and now we can make better choices. I’m sure I’ll still have a spicy
black bean burger from time to time, but I think I’ll ditch the fries. They
aren’t all that good anyway.
