I read that and wasn't paying attention to the numbers just how many calories, carbs, sodium etc...and kept thinking "OK, gotta be near the end now..."

I was way off!!!!

[Nerina]

I cant believe some of them, like the Quiznos sandwhich, wow. And Jamba juice is advertised as SO good for you, yeah right....

[B Lopez]

Oh heck no. That Chili's Chocolate Chip Pie is the best.




How could you say no?

[Nerina]

I wouldn't go that far, keep in mind they're talking about a large, as well as an italian sub. ...Which is made from lots of fatty meats cured in SALT...

If you eat it in three servings - which is how many I usually get out of it - it's not too bad.

Seriously, so many of these numbers are as high as they are because of insane portion sizes - well, except for the Awesome Blossom, which seems to be designed to kill you!

[Nerina]

This is making me hungary!!!!

@ Mike. ^ Yep. Sensible eating is key. Like anything.

And the role of fat as being harmful has been overstated for years. They've just recently realized it's nothing like it's been reported.

"We are not going to reverse any of the chronic diseases in this country by changing the composition of the diet," Dr. Howard said. "People are always thinking it's what they ate. They are not looking at how much they ate or that they smoke or that they are sedentary."
