Here Is What I Ate For Lunch:

I’m only sharing this with you because I find it interesting:

A Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese

Medium Fries

And 6 McNuggets

I ate all of it in the span of about ½ hour. I feel a bit disgusted with myself at the moment. But that’s not why I’m writing this post. I feel no guilt. I live without apology. I’m allowed to treat myself from time to time. Out of sheer interest, I decided to Google the Caloric and Fat content of my meal. Here are the stats:

Dbl Qrtr Pounder: 730 Cal and 40gr of fat
Med Fries: 380 Cal and 20gr of fat
6 McNugs: 250 Cal and 15gr of fat

My lunch totals: 1360 Calories and 75gr of fat.

So, here are my conclusions about this lunch. The amount of calories are not surprising to me. I had a granola bar before eating this meal so I’m probably at about 1600 calories for the day. I can go the rest of the day without eating and will most likely be inclined to do so as I’m completely stuffed. It’s the 75gr of fat that are more tricky. For my lifestyle (I lift weights w/a personal trainer 3x per week and do cardio about 2x per week) I need about 35gr of fat per day. Theoretically, I could not eat ANY fat tomorrow and even out. But that’s unrealistic. So, I have to spread that necessary fat deficit over 2 or 3 days eating things like oatmeal for breakfast, and salads for lunch.

I apologize to any of you readers who have gotten to this point and are like… WTF? Oh, did I mention I’m applying to pre-med programs around NYC?
