Occasionally, during a bad day at work, I would get a comfort meal at the cafeteria. This meal consisted of a double Swiss cheeseburger and some steak fries. Of course it tasted great, but now that we publish the nutritional information for our cafeterias, I’m not so sure it was a good idea:

• Hamburger Patty x2 = 640 calories, 54g fat, 34g protein, 2g carbs
• Swiss cheese x2 = 214 calories, 8g fat, 8g protein, 0 carbs
• Bun = 270 calories, 5g fat, 8g protein, 48g carbs
• Fries = 600 calories, 32.4g fat, 3.8g protein, 35g carbs

TOTAL:

• 1724 calories
• 99.4g fat
• 53.8g protein
• 85g carbs

(those numbers don’t add up properly since a 67g/50g/50g ratio for the burger should actually be 1003 calories)

That single meal has more calories than I intake in a full day now!
