Hey all! (ignore my subject, it doesnt really make sence )
Anyway, this morning whilst eating my yummy fruit salad i was thinking about how fresh it makes me feel to eat it, compared to say if i ate a big mac. This spurred a thought; How much fruit and veg could i eat to equal the amount of fat in a big mac. And so i did my research (hope its correct):
Big Mac: Fat = 25g approx!!!!
Vegetables: = 25g fat approx
5 artichokes = 1g
10 celery sticks = 1g
10 Brussels sprouts = 1g
5 medium grapefruits = 2g
100 grapes = 1g
5 peaches = 1g
5 cups of cubed honeydew melon = 1g
5 medium oranges = 1g
2 apples = 1g
2 medium bananas = 1.2g
2 cups of blueberries = 1.2g
3 medium mangoes = 1.8g
5 cups of strawberries = 3.0g
1 cup cubed pineapple = 0.7g
4 medium plums = 1.6g
10 medium raw carrots = 1.0g
5 cups of baked butternut squash = 1.0g
3 cups of mushrooms = 0.9g
1 small fresh, boiled corn = 1.0g
= 23.4g fat (even less)
HOW INSANE IS THAT!
Also i thought id search for a meal that we slimmers may think is a 'good' fast food option;
Happy meal:
cheeseburger
Small fries
Small chocolate milkshake = 29g fat
Still a whole lot isnt it, think about it if you give it to your children regularly too, i havent incorportated saturated fat, but its still alot.
So go for this instead . . .
Hamburger (swap for a fruit bag and is free)
Carrot sticks
Diet coke = 8g fat (0g if fruit bag)
BEWARE THE BURGER KING MEAL!
BURGER KING:
XL Bacon double cheese burger = 55g fat!!!
Fries (supersized) = 23g fat
Large Chocolate shake = 14g fat
= 92g FAT!!!
Hope you enjoyed my research!
Happy slimming!
