    You stop by the local brand-new Planet Fitness to check it out to see if you should join (it's cheap and 1 mile from the house). You get a good chuckle out of it and walk out after the first 30 seconds once you see what it's like in there.

    Good one. I don't even consider it a meal if it doesn't have at least 50g of protein in it - preferably more like 100g.
