Are Fries Worth A Burger?

I love french fries. I really love GOOD french fries. The ones from fast food restaurants just don’t do it for me since they stopped frying them in lard. Hey, it’s the fat that makes a steak taste good too! So dropping fries from a fast food meal won’t really matter much. It does add up though. A small serving of fries has 210 calories. That’s about the same as a burger and you get hardly any nutritional value. If you supersize them it’s 610 calories!

So choose your fries wisely. If they’re real fries, cut from fresh potatoes and fried in peanut oil. (Like at 5 Guys) Go for a SMALL ORDER (Unless it’s at 5 Guys where you will SHARE a “small” order… and have the single patty burger!)

TODAY: RESOLVE TO EAT ONLY THE GOOD FRIES. DON’T WASTE CALORIES ON THE ORDINARY ONES.

Fast Food Without Frying

On day 2 of NO FRY WEEK you may be tempted by a quick meal at your local fast food franchise. After all the phrase “Do you want fries with that?” was imprinted on our minds with the order of our first burger. That led to the infamous “Do you want to supersize that?” The problem is that are loaded with partially hydrogenated fats, starch that turns to sugar, and calories without protein.

So in addition to no fried food skip the fries. Save them for a treat in a few days.

TODAY: NO FRIED FOOD.
