Dear dedicated viewers<\/del> viewer:<\/p>\n

1 week after experiencing the movie “Food Inc.”<\/a>, I have eaten my first meal out at a rather common and decidedly tasty restaurant Olive Garden. I decided that I would get a healthy meal [ok, i was ravenously hungry] by ordering the soup, salad, and breadsticks combo. I joked at the end of the meal that I had won some unsanctioned and un-entered contest by having the least expensive meal on the ticket. And to myself, I said: “High five, Buzzardo. you win”.<\/p>\n

This morning [though not at work, i swear!], I visited the Olive Garden website<\/a> to see just how well I ate last night. A recap of my dining: 3 breadsticks, 2 plates of salad with light dressing, and 2 bowls of my favorite soup Zuppa Toscana. I mean, it sounds delicious and not-so-bad-for-me right? Yeah, so I had 2 whole bowls of yummy sausage and potatoes with greens and Olive Garden magic, but I am still well within my gauge for healthy eats right? I could have done much worse by eating some other entree, thereby clogging my body with gunk that I’ll have to burn off on the bike trainer today, right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

The tally at the end of ONE MEAL was as follows:
\nCalories: 1490
\nFat: 66g
\nSaturated: 13g
\nSodium: 7310mg
\nCarbs: 119g
\nFiber: 13g<\/p>\n

Now, for some perspective. Based on my level of activity, general fitness, and other mystical factors, my dinner intake versus what my daily<\/em> intake should be is below, courtesy of FitDay<\/a>:<\/p>\n\""diet<\/a>\n

Obviously, I need to revise my dining practices. 3.5 times my daily allowance for sodium in one meal?! To the right of this post, you will find a new page entitled “Gristle”, which I will work to detail my dining-out adventures. <\/p>\n
