I am on a diet today, especially after a wonderful 4th of July Picnic and an equally lovely lunch. So I thought — for a moment — that I would fix a couple of hot dogs. I thought, how bad can that be anyway? It is WAY BAD!
I love how things get disguised. My love-the-earth all natural whole grain hot dog buns were 150 calories each… by contrast, I normally fix a wrap for lunch and the wrap itself is only 100 calories! Now the hot dogs were exquisite, but they were a meal unto themselves! 350 calories is some hot dog!
To put this in relief, there isn’t a meal in the Jenny Craig plan that is over 500 calories… and this ‘little’ meals counts for 2 on the Jenny plan! There is a lesson here, we have to be a bit cautious in ‘assuming’ that the ‘diet’ food or the meal we ‘think’ is low in calories … actually is. It is a case of ‘inspecting what you expect!’
Woah, I am looking at things very closely now.
