No Whey! Yes Whey!

I'm trying to take the whole going-to-the-gym thing seriously, so I've started trying out protein shakes after each visit. Helped that my room-mate had a blender squirreled away so I didn't have to shell out for a new one, and the shakes are pretty good with a banana mixed in.

In light of this, I had a look at some of the food I eat semi-regulary, namely Subway and Chipotle. I figured Chipotle was horrendously bad for you and after checking it's pretty much just that: a shade under 1000 calories, 1 and a half times the RDA for sodium, about half of my daily fat RDA... and I get let off a lot of crap because I don't get cheese, guacamole or sour cream in mine...

Turns out my favourite Subway sandwich is awful (goddam tuna): 1060 calories, 62g of fat (out of 65g-ish per day!), and that's without the bread.

I checked McDonalds for comparrison - turns out that a Big Mac is roughly the most healthy out of the three.

So, what does this mean? I don't think I'm going to have a heart-attack anytime soon, but it sucks to find out how crap some of the stuff I eat is. I guess you can eat at Chipotle like once a week or so and not have it mess you up, but as for the tuna sub... damn. That was the only one that filled me up. I'll have to stick to Whole Foods more in the future - sushi isn't bad for you, right?
