A Meal Out

Lunch with my coworkers was the fun break from a crazy week we all needed.  When a Big Scary Three Letter Governmental Agency comes to visit (read: to investigate), you need to do something to relax.  What better place than our favorite upscale burger joint?  They redid the place and as part of the new look, now have calorie counts on the menu.  They also have full nutritional data on their website.  I looked up my very delicious but not exactly healthy lunch: 550 calories.  I had a burger on a bun!  With sides!  How rocking is that?  (Tips: lose the top half of the bun, skip the cheese and sauces, don’t get vanilla syrup in your coke, and get their incredibly delicious squash casserole instead of fries–it’ll save you 800 calories.)  Admittedly, there was an egregious amount of sodium, which I wasn’t thinking about and the water retention will probably destroy my ab pictures today, but hey, it’s 1:30pm and I’m still under 800 calories for the day.  Plus, I am so very very satisfied.
