Then today I had lunch at Chipotle. A salad with barbacoa. I looked at the nutrition info. Everything on the sheet looked so "healthy". Pinto beans happen to be cooked with bacon, yet only have 1g of fat per serving? puh-leeze. Carnitas 8g of fat? WTF.

then there are the fast service restaurants that post the fat and calorie contents on their menu, only to see a little * that says fat content shows saturated fat only, and only on the protein of the item in question! OMGWTF really?

I'm calling BS! Who's with me?!
I'm not even as concerned with the calories as I am with all the sodium..... Processed foods are full of sodium!! Fast food restaurants are the worst. I use calorie king to double check nutritional info though. I got 490 calories for your breakfast sandwhich, 20 g of fat-6 g of it saturated, 240 mg of cholesterol, 1230 mg of sodium (thats half the daily value) and 49g of carbs.

I don't trust them...McDonalds puts sugar in their salads???
I honestly quit eating out and started cooking at home. I've lost 17 pounds and 26 inches overall in the last 6 weeks. (if you know me, I haven't cooked at home in the last 5-6 years!!!)
