And we wonder why Americans are obese.
After a trip to the barber in GI and before a 6pm bell rehearsal, we decided to grab a quick bite in GI on the way home. Neither of us had eaten at Long John Silvers in a very long time, and the $1.99 Fish and Chips special sounded good for a change. Oldman ordered the dinner - two pieces of battered fish, two hush puppies, coleslaw, and fries (no drink, just water), and I ordered the $1.99 special (just water). OK, it all tasted wonderful - for a change.
Fast forward...time to log in the meals on TDP for the day. We thought we would start with oldman's meal. Fries, 1 3/4 pieces of fish (I ate the rest), 1/2 coleslaw (I ate the other half), two hush puppies (he didn't save me one of those), and minimal tartar sauce. Eeeeekkkkk! Calories - 900. Not that bad. BUT...percentage of fat and the amount of sodium were just outrageous!
Now I know why Americans are obese and why we have not eaten fast food and definitely not eaten at Long John Silvers in a very long time!
