New Light Breakfast....

60 grams of fat for breakfast! - CNN.com

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again -- this time for breakfast.

Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito -- two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocate for nutrition and health, has called the Hardee's line of Thickburgers "food porn."

The group's senior nutritionist, Jayne Hurley, said Monday that the burrito was "another lousy invention by a fast-food company."

The "country breakfast bomb," as she called it, represents half a day's calories and a full day's worth of saturated fat and salt, to say nothing of cholesterol.

"That's all before 10 o'clock in the morning," she said.

 

"welcom to Hardee's may i take your order?"

yes i'll have the heart stopper special!

 

There's a restaurant located I think, somewhere in Arizona (possibly in Pheonix?), that has made the news. I don't remember the name of the place but, the guy who started this business, used to be a Nurse or was somekind of a healthcare worker. He quit the healthcare field and went into the restaurant business. Anyway, he has a monster of a cheeseburger that he sells that is called something like the: Artery-buster or clogged-Artery burger - or something along those lines. His cheeseburger consists of a pound of bacon, eight slices of cheese, two beef patties equalling 1 pound of meat - which is topped off by large amounts of mayonnaise and 1/2 pound of french fries, ending with of course; the hamburger buns-which are toasted using 1/2 a stick of butter to toast the buns in. Estimated calorie intake is in excess of 10,000 calories. Of course, this does not include any Colas or Catsup-for the fries.

His business has become a huge success.

 

my gosh I think I'm getting nauseous

but lets see if I ride a normal 100 miler with about 4,000 feet of climbing I should be able to knock off about 4500 of those fattening cals that Carl described :cycle:

think I'll go open a jar of Alfredo sauce and just dump it down my throat

 

you want to see big.........check this out!!!

And get this, this is much worse than that that sandwich that Elvis's housekeeper made him. It consisted of a loaf of bread, 1 pound of bacon, two diced bananas and thick applications of peanutbutter. The loaf of bread was also toasted in a pan of a melted stick of butter.

Yuk.

 

That really is disgusting. People must eat to live, not live to eat!

 

Moes is supposed to be selling Mexican Food? I shudder to think what it tastes like? From my limited experiance of eating Mexican food in other states other than in Texas, that the further you get away from Texas, their version of Mexican Food; is usually pretty Schlecht - Bad.

Ike can attest to this fact ;-))

 

I've never tried that one. I weigh around 150..........with clothes on. Can eat nothing but junk and still can't gain weight. But, I'm not really a breakfast person.

 

Framer you are a dying breed ! Everytime I go to Wal Mart I always feel so sorry for the poor little electric cart chairs they have with 300+ pounders on them. What is sad are all the children who are obese now days. I guess when both parents or single parents who work, would rather just go to McDonalds and get a meal rather than put out all the energy to cook a good meal and have to clean up. But I can not point fingers as I eat out alot too.

 

Framer wait till ya hit 50 years of age and then you will be watching your belly blow and wonder what the heck happened over time, one of the reasons I continually ride my bike ........... ~ I remain in denial ~

 

Hey, I resemble that remark! Actually, laying block in 100 degree (40 C) plus weather and doing heavy construction (I teach this stuff) has kept me reasonably fit enough despite an ample sampling of beer and eating all kinds of stuff you probably shouldn't. Nothing like your hundredth 35 lb dead lift (eg., an 8816 cinder block) to the chest for the day to keep you fit!

Me, I love breakfast! Three eggs over medium with five or six pieces of bacon, some toast with real unsalted butter and jam, lots of Tabasco or Chouhla hot sauce, maybe a big helping of pico de gallo, a dab of sour cream, maybe a tortilla or two. Good stuff. A giant coffee with real cream and some sugar to wash it down.

Hell, I still eat MRE's camping some times. Those things have 3000 calories per pack!

Of course, I also have to consume like a gallon plus of liquid on a hot day when the temperature is in the mid 40's with alot of humidity. Framer knows about this stuff I'll bet.

So, at 5' 11" and 200 lbs at 50+ I'm doing just fine. And, can't remember the last time I saw a doctor for something other than being forced to for some nonsense by the military before I retired (usually for some painful shot or blood draw). Oh, and just to rub some salt in the cholesteral count last time I knew it was 152.

 

It is truly amazing that Americans will pay good money for slop...

Going out is almost always disappointing in the US unless you drop 2 Franklins. Now in Italy you can go to a trattoria and get the same meal for 25 US. Although some may dispute, I got a great steak at Bowfinger in Paris. And Dole has a great pineapple ice sorbet near the North Shore of Oahu.

 

i agree with you Herr Oberst, i used to go out to eat alot, but the service has really gone downhill in the last few years here, not at all rest's but at alot of them, and the food quality is crap! then to top it all off, the prices are wayy too high!! i would rather have friends over and cook them a good meal!!

 

Colonel one reason why Americans have become so overloaded around the belly, we do not eat like we should, save the biggest meal for evening without working it off.......how goofy is that ? we do not exercise enough because we hate pain and yet we see the silly reality shows expressing that we have to look like joe cool studly and mary hairy fairy with big boobs or we as Americans just don't have it ..........baloney.

in most cases the trash served from fast food rest.'s ought to be thrown out and not even worthy to feed the pigs

 

Damn TA, you eat as much slop for breakfast as I used to. A stop at McDonalds in the morning was 2 sausage & egg biscuits and 2 hash browns.......every day. Most of that got burned off by lunch time.
So was the "temps in the 40s" a misprint? I don't drink half as much when it's that cool as opposed to summer time heat. If you are 'teaching', why are you doing all that cinder block
lifting? Gee whizz, you must have forearms like Popeye.
Being skinny, I used to climb around like a monkey in between 16"oc rafters. Came in handy
when you have to get up this high.
