Today by the time dinner rolled around I had quite a bit of calories "left over," so I decided to have Cane's for dinner. I planned how much I was going to eat so that I could enjoy it without going over my calories.
My dinner consisted of: 2 chicken fingers, 1 toast, 1/4 serving of fries, and a whole container of Cane's sauce. If you've ever eaten Cane's before, it's honestly a really small amount of food. Like, you could probably fit it all in the palm of your hand. And according to their [Cane's] calorie counts, that tiny meal amounted to 700 Calories. It tasted alright, but was it really worth 700 calories? For that amount I could have had a 2x giant bowl(s) of yogurt, a stack of pancakes, a nice stir fry, a huge salad, a full plate of rice and beans, ice cream (REAL ice cream, like Ben&Jerry's) and cookies,....the list goes on... and it probably would have tasted better and definitely would have been more satisfying.
I know a lot of us enjoy fast food, and it's more than okay to eat it sometimes. But now that I have a better understanding of the nutrition behind foods and their caloric densities, I'm not sure a handful of chicken tenders is worth it.
