Burger King

Aimee and I were feeling a little "whatever" late last week, and we were hungry. Not wanting to put forth any effort regarding dinner, we thought Burger King sounded good. We hadn't been there in months.

I got a six pack of those new "Burger Shots" (660 calories, 33 g fat (13.5 sat, 1.5 trans), 1260 mg sodium), a med fry (480, 23 (5, 0), 820), and a med Coke Zero. Aimee got a Whopper, which I ordered without mayo out of habit (520, 23 (9, 1), 880), a med fry, and a med Coke Zero. Leo got the smallest container of Kraft Mac'n Cheese that I'd ever seen (160, 5 (1.5, 0), 340) with apple fries (which he doesn't even know comes with caramel sauce) and 2% white milk.

So what did I get for my 1140 cal and 56 g fat? A MAJOR disappointment! The burgers weren't very good, I didn't even finish the fries, and the Coke Zero I got didn't taste at all like the stuff in the cans in my fridge. I literally dumped 3/4 of the drink down the drain.

Aimee seemed to enjoy her dinner, but I asked her a few days later what she thought anyways. She said it perfectly: "It wasn't as good as it used to be." I agree. I won't be going back to Burger King ever unless they have some salads or something that isn't overloaded with fat and salt to the point of rendering the food tasteless. After eating much more healthily for a while, my palate has for sure become more refined and in tune with differing tastes.

Here is a link to the Burger King nutrition information. Look at all the salt!! No wonder the food doesn't taste like anything!
