Science in the Public Interest 10 worst/best list

egArtery Crust
Stouffer's Satisfying Servings (16 oz) White Meat Chicken Pot Pie has "only" 590 calories, 13 grams of saturated fat, and 930 mg of sodium. But those numbers are for only half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as many people do, and you’re talking 1,180 calories, 26 grams of saturated fat (more than a day's worth), and 1,860 mg of sodium (over a day's worth).


Triple ByPass
Can’t decide what to pick from a restaurant menu? No worries. Now you can order not just one entrée, but two… or three... all at once. Olive Garden’s Tour of Italy – Homemade Lasagna, Lightly Breaded Chicken Parmigiana, and Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo – comes with 1,450 calories, 33 grams of saturated fat, and 3,830 milligrams of sodium. Add a breadstick (150 calories and 400 mg of sodium) and a plate of Garden-Fresh Salad with dressing (350 calories and 1,930 mg of sodium) and you’ll consume almost 2,000 calories (an entire day’s worth) and 6,160 mg

Tortilla Terror
Interested in a Chipotle Chicken Burrito (tortilla, rice, pinto beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream, and salsa)? Think of its 970 calories, and 18 grams of saturated fat as three 6-inch Subway BLT Classic Subs! Skipping the cheese or sour cream cuts the saturated fat to 6 grams, but you still end up with 750 calories and more than a day’s worth of sodium. Yikes!

Factory Reject
People don’t expect light desserts at The Cheesecake Factory. But the Chocolate Tower Truffle Cake kicks things up a notch. If it weren’t served on its side, this one would stand over six inches tall. And upright or not, the slab of cake still weighs in at three-quarters of a pound. What do you get for all that heft? Just 1,760 calories and 2½ days’ worth of saturated fat (50 grams), mostly from chocolate, sugar, cream, white flour, and butter

Starbucks on Steroids
The Starbucks Venti (20 oz) White Chocolate Mocha with 2% milk and whipped cream is more than a mere cup of coffee. It’s worse than a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Few people have room in their diets for the 580 calories and 15 grams of saturated fat that this hefty beverage supplies. But you can lose 130 calories and almost two-thirds of the bad fat if you order it with nonfat milk and no whipped cream.


Extreme Ice Cream
An average halfcup serving of Häagen-Dazs ice cream squeezes half-a-day’s saturated fat and a third-of-a-day’s cholesterol into your artery walls and makes a nearly 300-calorie down-payment on your next set of fat cells – if you can stop at a petite half-cup!


LOLOL LOL they do have a sense of humor LOL LOL

I had sea salt last night. I'd intended for a whole cup but it was a little rich for me. This will me my first time with the dark chocolate, but a pokemon told me it was good.

Oh, it is. :bigsmile: It's freakin' rich and delicious and helps me reach my fat macro (which I surprisingly still have trouble meeting even with the gelatos more often than not. :drinker:

Processed foods spike the insulin levels and that sets off the vidious cycle of insulin desentivity and the bodies willingness to store fat.

Well, I'm convinced.
Where is the science again?

Who need science when you can have fear instead?

I agree with most of the responses.

I will say, however, that there is the "sticker shock" factor. I mean, nobody should be surprised that a six inch tall slice of cake is going to be high calories, nor a heaping bowl of triple pasta delight. But the Starbucks stuff really shocked me.

I picked up one of their nutritional info brochures last time I was there. One of their cookies (white chocolate macadamia) was almost 500 calories. I was pretty stunned. And their drinks can also be very high calorie, not something I expected in a drink.

It's not that I have anything against any type of food, etc. but tracking calories and actually looking at calorie counts has been a real education.

oh mama wally it is a shock , a real shock , those food products could be called the highway to diabetes.
