Mission 12: Get (Slightly) Acquainted With Calories

If you want to study, memorize and count calories then don’t let me stop you. Perhaps you’re already a walking database of calorie values.

But I suspect you have more important things to do.

And besides, a lot of people find calorie counting not only time-consuming and boring, but also counter-productive, as it can make you a little obsessive. And obsessiveness tends to bring forth the dreaded binge as a way to relieve pressure.

So I’m not going to ask you to learn the calorie value of everything. But I am going to ask you to learn certain calorie values.

Then we'll use this information to get even smarter about our actions in Mission 4: Choose Smart Diet Actions.

    We compared three fast food chains. First Wendy’s; Second McDonald’s and Burger King was third. This included a burger, fries, drink, salad & desert. Wendy’s has the lowest calories 1,200; McDonalds was second with 1,400; and Burger King was third with 1,500 calories.

    I loved this mission. Having an understanding of calories help you eat sensibly. For me, the lightbulb moment was eating out at lunchtime. I would select a healthy salad and drink it with a soda (usually a can of Coke). There are approximately 142 calories in one can of Coke. That’s about 10 teaspoons of sugar. Eeeeek!

    I have to say that my favorite was KFC chicken breast, but when I found out how many calories. It wasn’t worth it anymore. Now I eat mostly grilled chicken, I love the Chicken bistro griller at M&M meat shops. They are so good and just 170 calories for 1 portion and sometimes I don’t eat the whole piece. Counting the calories for me has been an eye opener:)
