QuoteIn most people's minds, "veggie" is synonymous with "healthy," which is what makes this sandwich such a sly beast. You might think it's a welterweight, but topped as it is with the trio of mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, and guacamole—which together provide a full day's worth of fat—this sub fights its way into the big boys' division. If it's vegetables you seek at Quizno's, it's either the Pan Asian Chopped Salad or a fistful of fat.
I think I saw some mushrooms in there too. Well, I know what I'm eating tomorrow. Thanks Men's Health! 1090 calories? Whooptie-shit.
QuotePF Chang's Double Pan-Fried Noodles Combo
1,820 calories
84 g fat (8 g saturated)
7,692 mg sodium
Consider this: Experts recommend that endurance athletes consume no more than 300 mg sodium per hour of exercise. At that rate, you would need to exercise for 25 hours to utilize the salt found in this one dish. While by no means low calorie, it's the noodles' status as the Saltiest Dish in America that truly terrifies us. Eat this and you don't need another milligram of sodium for 5 days.

QuoteBaskin-Robbins Fudge Brownie 31 Degrees Below (large)
1,900 calories
80 g fat (39 g saturated, 1.5 g trans)
1,350 mg sodium
225 g sugars
When Baskin-Robbins began to phase out its catastrophic line of Permium Shakes (the worst of which contained an eye-popping 2,600 calories), we cheered what we thought was the beginning of a more health-conscious corporate strategy. But this thick gulp of caloric excess is a reminder of just how deep their arsenal of belt-buckling treats runs. We might even go as far as to call this 24-ounce orgy of soft-serve, brownie, and hot fudge the most nuritionally imbalanced food in America, punishing ice cream hounds with not just an excess of calories and saturated fat, but also a concerning dose of trans fats, a dizzying amount of sugar, and, most disturbingly, more than half a day's worth of sodium.

See, that's the thing, I only eat one real meal a day, at least per my nature, with minor snacking from time to time (and sometimes whole days are just snacking, when I want to save money or drop a pound or two, e.g., today, I ate six packs of Lance Cream Cheese and Chives crackers and four cookies [three chocolate chip, one macadameia nut and white chocolate chip :mmm: ], for a total of like 1800 calories).
What's been killing me is eating lunch, as normal, and then going out at night and eating dinner too.

My wife has been buying it, but only the plain stuff. And I won't go near plain or vanilla yogurt. What is the difference between Greek & non-Greek?
Very brief.
QuoteGreek Yogurt vs Regular Yogurt
• Greek yogurt is so called because of the marketing of a Greek company called Fage.
• Greek yogurt is just strained regular yogurt.
• Straining removes all the liquid whey giving yogurt greater consistency
• Greek yogurt is lower in fat than regular yogurt and has twice as much protein than regular yogurt.
• The sour taste of regular yogurt is gone in Greek yogurt and is thus preferred by a majority of people though it is more expensive than regular yogurt.
Odd. Whenever I've had Chobani, it is much more sour than regular yogurt.
This Mediterranean restaurant nearby has a yogurt they serve to spread on bread, like butter. But it's better than butter :)

Best spread I've ever had is tsatziki, the dilly, lemony, garlicky yogurt Greek sauce. I make my own, though, because I prefer it to be more dilly, lemony, and garlicky than most restaurants make it. :mmm:
As for Greek yogurt, I like it quite a bit. It tastes slightly more tart to me than regular, which I prefer.
I agree with Larch about tilapia. It's the steakums of seafood.

You know, I was happy about this, until I looked into it:
http://www.economist.com/node/21555960
QuoteOn May 9th the House passed legislation forbidding NOAA from developing an innovative means of apportioning fishing quotas, known as catch shares. These are long-term, aiming to give fishermen a stake in the future of their fisheries; market-based, since they can be traded; and, in practice, good for fish. Sadly, the two Republican congressmen behind the ban consider they have been designed "to destroy every aspect of American freedom under the guise of conservation".
Incidentally, Greek yogurt with fruit is a great breakfast, high in protein and low in carbs. I feel like I have weay more energy when I eat it than oatmeal or cereal.

And terrible, it has to be terrible. These days, good vodka doesn't need to be chased, just like good scotch. However, Russian vodka is ironically fairly foul (until premium brands have been developed, but that's a fairly recent development), so you have to chase it with something. Chasing it with a pickle, just after uttering "ugh, what vile filth", is about as traditional as you can get for Russians.

I hate those lists. The substitutes are usually totally different. "Want a chocolate chip cookie? Have a banana!" "Want a hamburger? Have a salad!" If they offered comparable alternatives I'd believe they had some value other than simply promoting shock and awe over the incredibly unhealthy aspects of certain food options.

Fine dining and tilapia are totally incompatible. Tilapia is a bland tasteless fish, with dubious health qualities thrown in the mix.
That's why I eat it. I really dislike most seafood but my youngest won't eat other meats so bland tasteless fish is usually where we meet.

Anyone here eat Greek yogurt? I can not get a taste for it.
Not straight but I make a Tzatziki-syle sauce with it.
I've seen Chili nazis. I've seen Wine Snobs. But in all my years, I've never run across a fish snob.

That sounds like it would go with a fried bologna samich.
I loved fried bologna. One summer my best friend and I ate a fried bologna sammich every day for lunch.

Never tried pickles with vodka. Didn't know that was a thing. I usually follow the vodka with more vodka.
For full effect the vodka has to be room temperature.
just after uttering "ugh, what vile filth", is about as traditional as you can get for Russians.
In Russia I imagine you utter that before and after doing just about anything.

The fish is a chordate and produces much the same fear and pain chemicals as others of its phylum. I miss tuna though.
Crab can suck it though. I had a spider roll this evening. It was billed as "giant." I'm now eating bean burritos from Taco Bell; you draw your own conclusions.

Back then I was deathly afraid of mayonnaise, but I don't remember using mustard on fried bologna either.
Maybe butter?
OK, even I think that's gross, dude.
Never cared for baloney, give me roast beef, turkey and/or ham instead.

The only way to have bologna is to have German bologna on good bread with lot's and lot's of mustard. Yellow mustard. Not spicey. With a Coca-Cola.
Fried bologna is absolutely totally disgusting. I get nauseous just thinking about it.

Heh, reminds me of the woman that owned "Cigarette House". That's our name for a house we saw when house-hunting. The owner was a wizened ancient woman who looked like she was as old as the pyramids - I mean, her wrinkles had sublet to other wrinkles - who was selling to buy a condo. She'd lived in that house for some 80 years - and smoked a coupla packs a day in it, too. :lol:
The walls were literally brown and sticky. Needless to say, buying it wasn't a serious option.
Some people, if the smoke doesn't kill 'em, it mummifies 'em while they are still alive.

I'm sure if someone handed me plate (w/o telling me what it was) with it mixed in w/ scrambled eggs and some salsa, I would eat it.
When they told me what it was, I would not eat it again. If they showed me the can, I would look at the Nutrition label and punch them in the face.

Nowadays, I wouldn't touch a McPizza with all the pizza options out there. Back in the day when my pizza choices was Pizza Hut and Dominos, I welcomed cheap pizza.
