The Restaurant Meal
I ate a large cheat meal at one of my favorite meals last night. It was great, but if it’s one thing I remember it’s that the average 200 pound male (which is me) can’t take in more than 800 calories before everything you eat starts turning to fat. Do you know how many calories are in a restaurant meal? Trust me, you don’t want to know but a hell of a lot more than that. That’s why I cut it in half and put it in the freezer (which is my car in the Minnesota winter). Besides immediately splitting the meal in half, here is another tip – have an appetizer as soon as you sit down because after about 20 minutes into a meal, your body will let you know if you actually are full or not. But if you start scarfing down everything at first, your body won’t have enough time for you to send out those “I’m full” signals. Meanwhile, you’ll get fatter. Take care.
