I have put down my fair share of Big Breakfasts in my time, foe shoe. And I enjoyed every one of them. Bacon and scrambled eggs, biscuit, pancakes and syrup, hash browns. If you ain't mmm mmm goodin' it, I do believe you are either a food saint or a liar. I mean, what's not to like? Okay, maybe not the hash browns, they are some nasty shit, actually. Unless you eat them right away, when they're still pulsing with heat, in which case they are at least alright. But the rest of it? Nothing but net.
And Joe had to go in for some bloodwork this morning, so he had to hold off on breakfast, and he only had a little bit of time before he had to go to work, and so . . . I let him do breakfast at McDonald's. And he really liked it.
I didn't join him . . . though I was sorely tempted, I'll admit. But as he dug in, I looked up at the menu board and saw that they listed the calorie count . . . and . . . . Oh. Oh, my.
There are 1316 calories in the Big Breakfast (substituting bacon for the sausage) + 150 calories in a small orange juice = 1,466 calories. I'll say it again: 1,466 calories.
For a bit of perspective, my total calorie count for yesterday was 1744 calories. And it was actually one of my heavier caloric intake days. Now, granted, I'm trying to lose fat and am watching my intake very carefully . . . but What The Fuckety Fucking Fuck, man. 1,466 calories for breakfast?
Never again, my friends. Not on my watch.
Never, never, never again.
